Trans-Arterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) is a minimally invasive alternative for liver cancer patients who are not candidates for surgery. This advanced procedure is ideal for individuals with tumours confined to the liver and good overall health. It works with precision — delivering chemotherapy directly to the tumour while blocking its blood supply. This dual attack is highly effective for hepatocellular carcinoma and can shrink a tumour, potentially creating a path to future surgical removal 🌿 mic.co.zw

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or stent insertion is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked arteries. It is used to restore blood flow and treat conditions like atherosclerosis in various parts of the body, including the legs, kidneys, and heart (in which case it is also called coronary angioplasty). Using real-time imaging, a catheter is guided through a small incision in the wrist or groin to the affected artery. A balloon is then inflated to widen the vessel, followed by the placement of a small metal stent to keep the artery open and ensure continuous blood flow 👉🏾 mic.co.zw

For patients undergoing prolonged chemotherapy, a chemo port (or port-a-cath) can help to simplify treatment. This small, implantable device is placed under the skin, typically in the upper chest, and provides a reliable access point to a major vein for administering drugs, drawing blood, and delivering nutrients. It helps to preserve vein health by reducing the need for repeated needle sticks. While ports can make treatment more comfortable, it is important to discuss both the benefits and potential risks with your doctor. The decision to use a chemo port is made by your oncologist or treating physician 👉🏾 mic.co.zw

Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive radiological procedure that uses tiny particles to reduce blood flow to the prostate. It’s performed through a small access point in the wrist or groin under image guidance. In appropriately selected patients, reduced blood flow can lead to gradual prostate size reduction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This results in possible improvement in urinary symptoms over weeks to months and typically shorter recovery than open surgery (varies by individual). Suitability is assessed by your doctor considering symptoms, prostate size and overall health. Alternatives such as medication, watchful waiting or surgery such as TURP/laser may be recommended. If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH, speak to your doctor about PAE as a treatment option, or visit our website to learn more 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/pae

During a Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) procedure, our specialists use microscopic particles to reduce blood flow in the arteries supplying the prostate. This minimally invasive procedure is performed through a small access point in the wrist or groin.
The goal of PAE is to achieve gradual shrinkage of the prostate for symptom relief, while aiming to preserve surrounding healthy structures. If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH, speak to your doctor about PAE as a treatment option, or visit our website to learn more 👉🏾mic.co.zw/pae

Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that may be an option for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Here is an overview of how the procedure is typically performed 👇🏾
1️⃣ Advanced imaging is used to map the arteries supplying the prostate.
2️⃣ A catheter is gently inserted through a tiny incision in the wrist or groin.
3️⃣ Microscopic particles are deployed to reduce blood flow to the targeted areas.
4️⃣ The intended outcome is for the prostate to gradually shrink, which aims to relieve urinary symptoms.
If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH, speak to your doctor about PAE as a treatment option, or visit our website to learn more 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/pae

This Men’s Health Month, we are highlighting the importance of proactive screening and early intervention for prostate and testicular cancer. Early prostate and testicular cancer may have minimal symptoms, that’s why it’s important that men talk to their GP about their prostate and testicular health and the available tests. Radiology, including minimally invasive procedures play a key role in early diagnosis. This November, take a proactive step — talk to your doctor about prostate and testicular cancer screening 💪🏾 mic.co.zw/pae

Cancer care doesn’t end with treating tumours, it also means protecting the body from therapy side effects. Radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy can all weaken bone. A DEXA scan tracks these changes with precision, helping to prevent fractures and guiding therapies that keep bones strong. If you wish to learn more about DEXA scans, please send us a DM or visit our website today 👉🏾 breastspecialist.co.zw/bone-densitometry

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical procedure that clears blockages in the fallopian tubes. Performed under local anaesthesia with no hospital stay, it offers a high success rate for women facing infertility due to blockages. To learn more about this treatment, please send us a DM or visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/ftr
