Vascular Tumor Involvement

Specialised Multidisciplinary Management for Vascular Tumor Conditions

Tumors that compress or involve blood vessels require careful assessment and careful treatment. These conditions can affect blood flow, cause pain or swelling, and increase the risk of bleeding. Managing both the tumor and surrounding vessels together is essential.

If imaging shows a tumor affecting your vessels or you have symptoms of reduced blood flow-early evaluation helps prevent complications and supports better outcomes.

When Evaluation for Vascular Tumor Involvement Is Needed

You may need assessment if you have experienced:

Swelling in the arm, leg or affected area
Pain or heaviness due to reduced blood flow
Visible enlargement of blood vessels near a tumor
Numbness or tingling caused by pressure on nerves or vessels

Difficulty moving the affected limb
Recurrent episodes of bleeding
A known tumor that is close to major arteries or veins
Imaging reports suggesting vascular compression or invasion

How Diagnosis Is Performed

Diagnosis begins with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history and existing reports. Tests such as duplex ultrasound, CT angiography or MR angiography provide clear information about:

Whether the tumor is compressing blood vessels
Whether the tumor has invaded nearby arteries or veins
How blood flow is affected
The best possible treatment strategy

You receive clear explanations at every step so you fully understand the findings and their significance.

Treatment Options Based on Individual Needs

Vascular tumor involvement requires a personalised and collaborative plan. Dr. Abuazab works with oncologists, interventional radiologists and other specialists to design the safest and most effective approach.

Endovascular Procedures

When blood flow is restricted or there is risk of bleeding, endovascular methods may be used to stabilise the vessels. These may include:

Stent placement to maintain blood flow
Embolization to reduce bleeding or shrink the tumor’s blood supply
Catheter-guided treatments to support organ preservation

Benefits include:

Small puncture rather than large incisions
Quick recovery
Targeted, organ-saving treatment
Effective bleeding control

Open Surgical Management

If the tumor is closely adhered to or invading a blood vessel, open surgery may be necessary either alone or as part of a combined procedure with other specialists.
Surgery may involve:

Resection of affected vessels
Reconstruction using grafts
Removal of tumor segments involving the artery or vein/li>

Open surgery is recommended when vascular involvement is complex and requires direct visual repair.

Combined or Staged Treatment

In many cases, the safest and most successful outcomes come from combining different techniques. Dr. Abuazab collaborates closely with oncology and surgical teams to ensure coordinated care.
