Eric M. Mastria, MD, PhD

I am an interventional radiologist, which means that I perform minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technology. I was drawn to Interventional Radiology because it combines medical knowledge, technical skills, and engineering tools to improve patient care. In the field of interventional radiology, we can deliver therapeutics and devices almost anywhere in the body with precision. Therefore, we participate in the care of patients with a wide variety of conditions, such as liver dysfunction (cirrhosis), renal failure, gallstones, feeding difficulties, uncontrolled bleeding, venous clots, venous access difficulties, pulmonary embolism, or cancer. The therapies that we can offer for cancer include injecting therapies into the blood vessels supplying a tumor (radioembolization, chemoembolization, or bland embolization), or by delivering energy to directly destroy a tumor (microwave, radiofrequency, or cryoablation). It is my honor and great privilege to work in the field of Interventional Radiology.
