Liver Cancer Sarasota County, Florida

Each year, about 18,500 cases of primary liver cancer are diagnosed. Cancer is a very difficult illness to deal with, but the professionals at Sarasota Interventional Radiology are here to help you. Dr. Gerald E. Grubbs, M.D. is one of the most trusted and well-established names in the field of interventional radiology. He is a board-certified and fellowship trained interventional radiologist and his facilities use state-of-the-art techniques to treat liver cancer.

Surgical removal of liver tumors is known to be the best cure for liver cancer. However, in some cases liver tumors are inoperable or risky and impractical, due to the size of the tumor or the amount that it has spread throughout the liver. Surgical removal is not possible for more than two-thirds of primary liver cancer patients and 90 percent of patients with secondary liver cancer.

Interventional Radiology is a new approach to cancer treatment. It introduces the use of x-rays, ultrasound or other imaging techniques, to guide catheters directly to the site of the cancer. This form of treatment has the ability to relive pain and diagnose cancer without a surgical biopsy. Dr. Grubbs and his staff of professionally trained physicians at Sarasota Interventional Radiology do their best to provide comfort and care for each patient undergoing this procedure. They know how draining cancer can be, both physically and emotionally, which is why they give their utmost support to each patient.
