How is CIPI™ Different From Standard Interventional Radiology?
CIPI™ is Envita Medical Centers proprietary form of tumor chemo embolization that varies from standard interventional oncology procedures (IR Procedures). Dr. Dino Prato, Dr. John Oertle, and Dr. David Medina discuss how CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injection) offers an alternative treatment option to patients with inoperable tumors and gives them an opportunity to optimize health outcomes. This revolutionary precision deployment mechanism overcomes the challenges of traditional surgery by deploying personalized medications, directly at the site of the tumor.
Disclaimer: Individual results will vary. Envita makes no guarantees for outcomes. Each patient case is unique. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medical treatment. Not every patient is a candidate for care or achieves these results. Treatments used in this case may not all be FDA approved for the treatment of this condition.
Envita Medical Centers, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, provides a unique treatment called CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injection), which is different from standard interventional radiology in oncology. In CIPI™, a small catheter, thinner than a strand of hair, is used to deliver medication directly to the tumor or through the vasculature of the tumor, to be precise. The drug algorithm, which targets the tumor genetically and immunologically, is unique to CIPI™, and cannot be found in standard interventional radiology. This advanced form of therapy is an integral part of the CIPI™ treatment plan, as it creates new antigens to develop an immune system reaction for recognizing tumors and metastatic cells elsewhere in the body.
CIPI™ is a minimally invasive technique which can be easily deployed in an outpatient setting, and this image-guided intervention helps with faster recovery time because it does not involve major incisions. The specially trained interventional radiologists at Envita closely monitor patients and recommend follow-up care as and when needed.
Interventional radiology procedures are often an afterthought in cancer treatment as they are typically considered after chemotherapy has failed, which may be too late for the patient. Getting access to such advanced precision-targeted interventional radiology procedure has proved beneficial for potentiating optimistic outcome metrics for patients at Envita, many of whom were refractory to standard of care cancer treatment options.
