Research Statement

Texas Children’s Hospital is one of only a few institutions in the country that offers advanced treatment options for the management of liver tumors in children by interventional radiology. These advanced treatment methods include: transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). Dr. Kukreja is excited about the potential of liver tumor management by interventional radiology (IR). Interventional radiology has started to play an increasingly important role in the management of liver tumors. He has been involved in researching advanced treatment methods for liver tumors in children. Pediatric liver tumors can be managed by minimally invasive methods of administering chemotherapy directly to the tumor, via arteries supplying the tumor also known as transarterial chemotherapy (TACE). Radiation can also be administered to the tumor via procedure called SIRT (selective internal radiation therapy). Dr. Kukreja’s research interests include the management of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, and researching the role of transarterial and percutaneous therapies in pediatric liver tumors.
