At the Vascular Institute of Virginia, we work closely with clinical oncologists to provide specialized oncology procedures that support cancer treatments and improve patients’ quality of life. While most cancers are treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, our minimally invasive procedures complement these methods to address symptoms and enhance overall care.
Led by Dr. Anish P. Shah, MD, FASN, a Board-Certified Nephrologist with decades of experience in vascular and interventional medicine, our expert team is committed to compassionate, patient-focused care. With state-of-the-art facilities in Fredericksburg, Woodbridge, and Fairfax, we provide advanced, supportive procedures to ease your journey and help you focus on what matters most: healing and recovery.
What Are Interventional Oncology Procedures?
Interventional oncology procedures are minimally invasive treatments that play a crucial role in managing cancer. These procedures often complement traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy, addressing symptoms and improving patients’ comfort. With precision-guided techniques, interventional oncology can help diagnose, monitor, or relieve cancer-related complications without the need for major surgery.
At the Vascular Institute of Virginia, we specialize in a key interventional oncology procedure: mediports.
Oncology Procedures We Offer
Mediports
The mediport, a small device placed under the skin, ensures a reliable and less intrusive means of delivering chemotherapy or IV therapies. A mediport significantly reduces the discomfort and inconvenience of repeated needle sticks during treatment for many patients.
We use advanced imaging technology at the Vascular Institute of Virginia to ensure precise and efficient mediport placement. Our team prioritizes your safety and comfort, allowing you to focus on your treatment journey.
