Interventional Radiological Treatments in Kidney Tumors

Release Date: 2024-06-10

The chapter discusses interventional radiological treatments as an alternative to surgery for treating early-stage kidney tumors. The growing use of imaging techniques has led to more frequent detection of kidney tumors, with the challenge of distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors. While surgery remains the standard treatment for malignant tumors, minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided procedures [...]

    The chapter discusses interventional radiological treatments as an alternative to surgery for treating early-stage kidney tumors. The growing use of imaging techniques has led to more frequent detection of kidney tumors, with the challenge of distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors. While surgery remains the standard treatment for malignant tumors, minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided procedures are becoming increasingly common for certain patients.

    3Assistant professor Dr. Muhammed Bilal Akıncı completed his medical education at Uludağ University in 2016. After working as a general practitioner for a short time, he started working as an assistant at Van Yüzüncüyıl University for specialist training in radiology. He became a radiologist in 2021. He worked as a radiologist at a state hospital for 2 years. He has been working as a lecturer in the department of interventional radiology at Van Yüzüncüyıl University since 2023. He has scientific studies and oral presentations in the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology. He also works on the use of artificial intelligence in radiological imaging.
