What We Offer
Interventional radiology uses non- and minimally invasive techniques to treat a wide range of conditions, offering faster recovery, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications compared to open surgery.
At UCSF, we have extensive expertise in interventional oncology, men’s and women’s health, infertility, vascular conditions, pain management, and transplant care for the liver, kidney, pancreas, and lung. As a leader in advancing new treatments, UCSF is the first in the Bay Area to offer histotripsy, a non-invasive ultrasound therapy for liver tumors.
Our training and research programs are distinguished by a culture of excellence and collaboration with experts in oncology, hepatology, surgery, and pediatrics.
Spotlight: Histotripsy for Liver Cancer
UCSF is the first in the Bay Area to offer precise, non-invasive, no-radiation histotripsy to patients with liver cancer. Histotripsy uses high-frequency focused ultrasound waves to create micro-bubbles that rupture and destroy the cancer cells from within without damaging healthy tissue. For patients with liver tumors located near vital structures, histotripsy may be a treatment option.
