Minimally Invasive Therapies for Cancer Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment and Management

The interventional radiologists at Weill Cornell Medicine are here to support you from your initial diagnosis right through your treatment. We play a vital role in your care team, helping to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.

We are especially skilled in treating cancer with minimally invasive therapies. These treatments are used as an alternative to traditional surgery and are increasingly being used to treat and manage cancer.

These therapies not only help diagnose and treat cancer, but also provide relief from cancer symptoms and promote a higher quality of life.

National Leader in Cancer Screening and Early Detection

Our highly trained interventional radiologists are the first in the region to be able to offer care that encompasses screening, diagnosis, treatment and recovery care for cancer. All procedures are performed with leading diagnostic and medical imaging technology, which enhances visualization of the body and promotes better outcomes.

Multidisciplinary, Compassionate Care

When you choose Weill Cornell Medicine, you have access to a network of doctors and specialists. Your interventional radiologist may consult with experts in pathology, oncology, urology, cardiothoracic surgery and other medical professionals as needed. We can offer our patients comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.

Weill Cornell Medicine partners with NewYork-Presbyterian, one of the top hospital systems in New York City and the U.S.
