Xiao Li is a desperate San Lang, working overtime until late at night every day, and he doesn't eat on time, and as a result, his body collapses. Last year, Xiao Li was diagnosed with cancer, which frightened him. The doctor told him that the current medical technology is not the same as before, and there are many new methods.
When Xiao Li heard this, he asked curiously, "What other new methods are there?" The doctor said: "Now the technology is advanced, and cancer cells can be starved to death, scalded, and frozen to death! Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "This sounds like science fiction, but if it's true, then it's great!"
He couldn't help but ask, "Then can I try these methods too?" The doctor smiled, "It depends on your specific situation and the type of cancer." Xiao Li was both expectant and nervous, not knowing what would happen next. Hey, you say, can Xiao Li's illness be cured? Let's talk about it later!

Interventional therapy is a minimally invasive surgical technique guided by images in which a catheter is delivered into the body to treat a disease.
In cancer treatment, interventional therapy is widely used, and its principle is to kill cancer cells by delivering drugs directly into the tumor, or by embolizing the blood vessels of the tumor.
Compared with traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, interventional therapy has the advantages of accurate positioning, less trauma and fewer side effects.
In interventional therapy, doctors can accurately locate the location of the tumor and deliver the therapeutic drugs directly into the tumor, so that the drugs are mainly concentrated in the tumor and have a good therapeutic effect.
At the same time, interventional therapy can also starve cancer cells by embolizing the blood supply vessels of the tumor, so that the tumor loses its nutrient supply. Interventional therapy is an efficient and safe treatment that brings new hope to cancer patients.
The scientific principle of starving cancer cells using baking soda
The effect of baking soda on cancer cells stems from its interference with tumor metabolism. Normally, tumor cells can still use the synergistic effect of lactate anions and hydrogen ions dissociated by lactate to maintain growth in a starved state.
After injecting baking soda, either of the two factors can be removed, so as to "starve" the cancer cells and speed up their death.
Studies have shown that baking soda injections can interfere with the metabolism of tumors, depriving them of the conditions for growth, thereby accelerating the rate of their death.
However, it is important to note that this treatment needs to be operated by a professional doctor and needs to be carried out under strict monitoring to avoid the occurrence of adverse effects.
Other interventional treatments
In addition to injecting drugs and embolizing blood vessels, interventional treatments can kill cancer cells in other ways. For example, microwave ablation and cryoablation are among the commonly used interventional treatments.
Microwave ablation involves inserting a microwave ablation needle into the lesion and continuously heating it to kill cancer cells.
Cryoablation, on the other hand, freezes cancer cells by accurately inserting a cryoablation needle into the tumor tissue and cooling the tumor tissue to a very low temperature.
These interventional treatments can effectively kill cancer cells, bringing new treatment options to cancer patients.
Limitations and challenges of interventional therapy
Although interventional therapy has performed well in cancer treatment, there are still some limitations and challenges. First, interventional therapy is not suitable for all types of cancer.
Some types of tumors may not be suitable for interventional treatments or may require a combination of other treatments. Secondly, interventional therapy may cause some adverse reactions and complications, such as infection, bleeding, etc.
Therefore, when performing interventional treatment, it is necessary to strictly control the risks and carry out effective monitoring and management. In addition, interventional treatments are more expensive and may not be affordable for all patients.
Trends in interventional therapy
With the continuous development of medical technology, the application of interventional therapy in cancer treatment is also expanding and deepening. In the future, with the in-depth understanding of tumor biology and molecular mechanisms, interventional therapy will become more personalized and precise.
By combining multidisciplinary techniques such as imaging, molecular biology and bioinformatics, precise localization and treatment of tumors can be realized.
At the same time, interventional therapy will also pay more attention to the overall quality of life and lifestyle management of patients, and comprehensively use nutritional, psychological and rehabilitation support measures to improve the quality of life and treatment effect of patients.
