Dr. Rudolph Willis: Typically we give chemotherapy intravenously, in other words, through the vein. But sometime it’s necessary to give Chemotherapy another way, a more specific way. So we use Intra-Arterial administration and typical the specialists will use a special catheter, to put that catheter into an artery instead of a vein. And in the chemotherapy that is given down that catheter which is directed through the blood vessel that goes to that specific tumor. Most commonly is done for liver liaisons or Primary Liver Cancer; it also can be done with other kinds of Cancers like Melanomas or Skin cancers that involve the extremities.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
