Embolisation

Under real-time imaging special particles can be used to block off the blood supply to tumours causing them to die off. Embolisation is part of well-established procedures to treat uterine fibroids (uterine artery embolisation), enlarged prostates (prostate artery embolisation) and renal tumours.
