Technology breakthrough in oncology treatment available at the Genolier and Monthey clinics
Genolier and Monthey clinics: always at the forefront of medicine
Clinic Genolier is focusing on a new breakthrough in medicine: interventional radiology. This treatment method has already been recognized by doctors and patients around the world. Interventional radiology is popular for its safety and effectiveness.
In recent years, interventional radiology has been used in many areas of medicine, from oncology to orthopedics.
To always keep up with the latest technologies, clinics must, of course, be equipped with the latest and most effective equipment. This allows the Genolier Clinic in Genolier to be among the leading medical institutions using the latest treatment methods for their patients not only in Switzerland, but throughout Western Europe.
The Monthey Clinic in Lausanne can also boast of this. It is also worth noting that two of the very few experts in interventional radiology in Switzerland work here. We are talking about Dr. Pierre Bize and Dr. Stefano Binaghi. Both are members of the Swiss Medical Association.
What is interventional radiology?
Radiology is a rapidly developing method of minimally invasive interventional medicine. Interventional radiology is mainly used in the fields of medicine such as cardiology, orthopedics, gynecology, and has a close relationship with gynecological oncology.
Incorporating the best qualities of such areas of medicine as radiology, medical imaging, surgery, and oncology, interventional radiology works on the principle of image acquisition, such as ultrasound or MRI, for example.
Until now, tumors that were considered incurable are safely treated with the achievements in the field of interventional radiology.Depending on the type of tumor, interventional radiology uses an innovative treatment method that allows radioactive particles to be injected directly into the tumor, making radiation therapy easier - because it happens from the inside.
This procedure is also known as radioembolization.
The new method is well tolerated and receives positive reviews from patients and doctors
It is important to note that this treatment method is well tolerated by patients.
Interventional radiology receives good reviews from patients because it provides many benefits. First of all, because of the rehabilitation, which is much easier than after traditional chemotherapy. Postoperative pain or bleeding becomes significantly less after interventional radiology therapy. For patients, another huge plus is the shortened hospitalization period in the clinic.
Clinics Genolier and Monthey clinics intend to continue research to improve the treatment method in the future, constantly investing in medical equipment, technologies, and research.
