This is an important step in the development of interventional oncology services in the region. <\/p>\n\n<p>Radiologists, interventional radiologists, pulmonologists, oncologists and thoracic surgeons participated in the program. They discussed <strong>minimally invasive treatment strategies for lung tumors<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>During the session, Dr. <strong>Aurimas Ma\u010dionis, an interventional radiologist<\/strong> at LSMUL Kaunas Clinics, presented modern methods of interventional oncology. These include radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation and cryoablation. Scientific recommendations were also discussed. Clinical experience in the application <strong>of microwave ablation for the treatment of lung tumors was also presented.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n<p>The first cryoablation procedure at Tartu University Hospital was performed by interventional radiologists <strong>Dr. Martin Reim<\/strong> and <strong>Dr. Kaur Valk<\/strong>. The expert supervision of the procedure was ensured <strong>by Dr. Aurimas Ma\u010dionis<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Such achievements are important not only as isolated clinical cases. They strengthen treatment options in the region. The development of image-controlled minimally invasive therapies provides more choice for selected patients. International cooperation also helps to strengthen local expertise.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"12025\" src=\"https:\/\/ambercell.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1-1024x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambercell.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1-1024x800.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ambercell.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ambercell.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1-768x600.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ambercell.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first pulmonary cryoablation procedure was successfully performed at Tartu University Hospital.
