Interventional Oncology
Welcome to the forefront of Interventional Oncology, where innovation meets expertise to redefine cancer care. Dr. Rohit Madhukar leads the way in advancing treatment modalities that make a difference. Explore our comprehensive suite of interventions tailored for various cancers:
Unlock the future free from the cancer
TACE (Trans Arterial Chemo Embolization) – for Liver tumours
Revolutionizing liver cancer treatment, TACE delivers targeted chemotherapy directly to the tumor site, maximizing efficacy while minimizing systemic impact.
TARE (Trans Arterial Radio Embolization) – for Liver tumours
Harnessing the power of radioembolization, TARE offers a precise and potent solution, delivering radiation directly to liver tumors for improved outcomes.
PVE (Portal Vein Embolization) – for planned liver resection
Paving the way for successful liver resections, PVE strategically redirects blood flow, promoting healthy liver growth and optimizing surgical outcomes.
Ablation: MWA (MicroWave Ablation) / RFA(Radiofrequency Ablation) – liver, Kidney, Lung, Thyroid & Bone
From liver and kidney to lung, thyroid, and bone, our ablation techniques provide minimally invasive alternatives, targeting tumors with precision and efficacy.
Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) – Malignant biliary obstruction
Addressing malignant biliary obstructions, PTBD offers relief by safely draining bile and restoring normal function.
Percutaneous Biliary Stenting
Innovative biliary stenting solutions to ensure optimal flow, managing complications related to biliary obstructions with expertise.
Pre-Operative Tumour Embolization -for highly vascular and large lesions
For highly vascular and large lesions, our pre-operative tumor embolization strategies pave the way for smoother surgeries and enhanced outcomes.
Haemostatic Plug Biopsy – for highly vascular lesion /critical location
Navigating highly vascular lesions in critical locations, our haemostatic plug biopsy technique ensures precision and safety, providing crucial diagnostic insights.
Biopsy – from suspected tumours
Accurate diagnostics start here. Our biopsy procedures extract essential tissue samples from suspected tumors, guiding personalized treatment plans.
At the heart of our practice is a commitment to personalized care, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to bring hope and healing to those facing cancer. Dr. Rohit Madhukar and our team are dedicated to pushing boundaries, setting new standards in Interventional Oncology. Your journey to a brighter, healthier future begins with us.

Frequently asked questions
Dr. Rohit Madhurkar is a distinguished specialist in interventional oncology, focusing on minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cancers. He combines expertise in radiology and oncology to provide targeted treatments for cancer patients.
Interventional oncology is a subspecialty of radiology that uses imaging-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cancer. These procedures often involve using needles or catheters to deliver treatment directly to the tumor, reducing the impact on healthy tissues.
Interventional oncology can be used to treat various cancers, including liver, lung, kidney, and bone cancers. It is often employed when traditional surgery is not an option or to complement other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
Some common procedures include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Using heat to destroy cancer cells.
- Chemoembolization: Delivering chemotherapy directly to a tumor while cutting off its blood supply.
- Radioembolization: A similar approach using radioactive particles.
- Cryoablation: Freezing cancer cells to kill them.
- Biopsies: Obtaining tissue samples for diagnosis.
Interventional oncology focuses on minimally invasive techniques, often resulting in fewer side effects, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery or systemic chemotherapy. These procedures are typically done under imaging guidance, ensuring precision and effectiveness.
During an interventional oncology procedure, Dr. Madhurkar will use imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, or ultrasound to guide the treatment. The procedure may involve local anesthesia or sedation, and it is usually done on an outpatient basis. Patients can expect a brief recovery period and may experience mild discomfort.
The benefits of interventional oncology include targeted treatment, minimal invasiveness, and reduced side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissues. Dr. Madhurkar will discuss these risks with you in detail and answer any questions you may have.
Candidates for interventional oncology treatments typically include patients with localized tumors that are not amenable to surgery or those seeking additional treatment options. The suitability of these treatments depends on various factors, including the type, location, and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Preparation for an interventional oncology procedure may include fasting for a certain period, stopping certain medications, and undergoing pre-procedure imaging. Dr. Madhurkar will provide specific instructions based on the type of procedure you are undergoing.
Follow-up care typically involves monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment through imaging and blood tests. Dr. Madhurkar will work closely with your oncologist and other healthcare providers to manage your overall care plan, including any additional treatments or therapies.
To schedule a consultation with Dr. Madhurkar, you can contact his office directly or request a referral from your primary care physician or oncologist. During the consultation, Dr. Madhurkar will review your medical history, discuss potential treatment options, and answer any questions you may have.
If you have additional questions or need more information, please reach out to Dr. Madhurkar’s office.
