Real-Life Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatment Cases and Patient Stories

Extremely adept at minimally invasive interventional therapies for tumors and treatment of cancer pain, proficient in radioactive seed implantation, ablation, and vascular intervention, with a focus on liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and bone metastases, and particularly skilled in radioactive seed implantation for refractory cancer pain.

He is very involved in treating tumors and blood vessel diseases, focusing on less invasive procedures for issues like liver cancer, cirrhotic portal hypertension, Budd–Chiari syndrome, narrowing and blockage of peripheral blood vessels, both benign and malignant tumors, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. He was among the first in China to perform advanced techniques such as TIPSS and B-ORTO, filling multiple domestic gaps in the field. He also pioneered temporary hepatic vein occlusion combined with hepatic arterial embolization for the treatment of liver cancer, led the development of standardized treatment protocols for liver cancer, and has made significant contributions to the advancement of interventional medicine in China.

Doctor Xiao has an expertise in the individualised minimally-invasive ablation of solid tumors including liver cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer under the guidance of CT/MRI. Doctor Xiao is proficient in radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation, and nanoknife ablation technologies, and operates more than thousands of operations annually. Especially, Dr. Xiao has abundant experiences in the precise treatment of the tumors in special anatomical sites such as hepatic hilar region, retroperitoneum, and mediastinal lymph nodes. Further, Dr. Xiao is rather good at combining chemical ablation and seed implantation therapies.

Specializes in the treatment of solid tumors, including lung cancer, liver cancer, glioma, and pancreatic cancer, with a particular focus on radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation combined with multimodal ablation techniques such as microwave ablation, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, and irreversible electroporation (NanoKnife). Also possesses extensive experience in the management of non-neoplastic diseases, particularly vertebroplasty and minimally invasive treatments for intervertebral disc disorders.

Expertise in precision vascular interventional oncology procedures, (TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma), TIPS, interventional management of Budd–Chiari syndrome, biliary stent placement, and emergency embolization for acute bleeding.

Specializes in chemotherapy for gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers, as well as the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Skilled in the integrated application of traditional Chinese medicine with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, he advocates an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine approach to tumor treatment and possesses extensive expertise in anti-angiogenic chemotherapy and the development of traditional Chinese medicine–based antitumor drugs.

Professor Li Zhiping is especially adept at the radiation therapy and chemotherapy of esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer; the radiation therapy and chemotherapy for the urogenital system tumors of both male and female; the targeted therapy and immunotherapy for the abdominal tumor molecules. Meanwhile, Prof. Li is proficient in the application of new radiation therapy technologies including 3D conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), imaging-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic radiotherapy (X-knife), image fusion technology, and respiratory gating technology in the treatment of abdominal tumors; meanwhile covering the radiation therapy and chemotherapy of head and neck tumors and breast cancer. Also, Prof. Li has had abundant treatment experience of uncommon and rare cases of tumors.

Proficient in NanoKnife and argon-helium tumor ablation techniques, with extensive clinical experience in minimally invasive treatment of liver, lung, kidney, and pelvic tumors. He is especially skilled in ablation therapy for common malignant tumors such as liver, lung, and retroperitoneal tumors, combined with interstitial brachytherapy using iodine-125 seed implantation.

Proficient in the full range of tumor ablation techniques, including chemical ablation, radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, argon-helium cryoablation, and NanoKnife ablation. He specializes in intravascular and non-vascular interventional treatment for solid tumors such as liver cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Proficient in minimally invasive techniques including microwave ablation, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and iodine-125 seed implantation. He has extensive experience in the treatment of various solid tumors, including liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. He is especially skilled in combining ablation with seed implantation to achieve precise local treatment with minimal trauma and faster recovery.
