The leading-edge work of SJRH interventional radiologists is just one example of how the sub-speciality is coming of age across Canada. Last year the Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology (CAIR) launched the CAIR Initiative, aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of minimally invasive IR treatments, and lifting the hurdles that stand in the way of greater access to treatments.

Dr. Amol Mujoomdar, division head for interventional radiology at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in Ontario, is the current CAIR president. He said the goal of the initiative is to enable change – including the adoption of national standards for IR programs – so that patients have a better understanding of their options and interventional radiology suites will be busier.

“We literally have an IR suite that sits empty because we don’t have the operational funding to staff it,” said Dr. Mujoomdar, noting that due to patient demand, he could “fill it up tomorrow” if the funding was available.

“Aside from allowing hospitals to function more effectively, minimally-invasive procedures enable patients to resume normal activity, energy, and appetite levels with fewer side effects than one typically gets with big operations,” says Dr. Amol Mujoomdar, Division Head for Interventional Radiology at London Health Sciences Centre and Associate Professor of Radiology and Oncology at Western University.

Y90 is a radioactive substance that is used as a medical device to treat cancers such as liver cancer.

(article publié en anglais seulement)

Y90 is a radioactive substance that is used as a medical device to treat cancers such as liver cancer. For liver cancer, Y90 is placed into microscopic beads which are then injected into the tumour in the patient’s liver, where they emit a very high dose of radiation. According to Dr. Amol Mujoomdar of London Health Sciences Centre, the surgeon featured in the video, utilizing Y90 radioembolization “is like going inside the tumour and punching it from the inside out.” With about 2,000 cases of liver cancer diagnosed in Canada each year, Y90 is a less invasive approach to
fighting this type of cancer.
