Surviving Cancer: A Patient's Radioembolization Journey

As providers, we know firsthand how impactful interventional radiology procedures can be. Today, we hear the perspective of Suzanne Martin, a patient who underwent life-saving radioembolization for stage 4 colorectal cancer. Suzanne shares her story with host Dr. Eric Keller, including how things took a positive turn when she was introduced to interventional radiologist Dr. Charles Nutting after initially undergoing ineffective chemotherapy treatment.
