Our lab develops new minimally invasive image-guided cancer treatments:
- Methods for improving the anti-tumor immune response after embolization or ablation.
- Genetic, imaging, and other tests to predict response after embolization or ablation.
- New devices for endoluminal ablation (ureter, bile ducts, bronchi, bowel).
- New intra-arterial therapies for liver and pancreatic cancer.
- Transgenic pig model for liver and pancreatic cancer.
- Imaging technologies for rapid diagnosis from biopsy specimens.
- Outcomes after cancer interventions.
- Evidence-based cancer imaging.
