He is an innovative physician at the forefront of a new era in oncology: cancer treatment without surgery.

Interventional medicine is soon expected to become a real alternative to traditional treatment, since these methods are not only effective but also less painful than open surgery. These procedures are also used for palliative care, when a cure is no longer possible, and they relieve severe pain when narcotics no longer help.
