I am Dr. Jayson M. Naguit, currently a fellow-in-training in Interventional Radiology in one of tertiary hospitals here in Cebu City, Philippines. I have spent my career bridging the gap between direct patient advocacy and the technical innovations of minimally invasive medicine.
My entry into the healthcare field began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This undergraduate foundation provided me with an essential perspective on the longitudinal care of patients and the intricacies of clinical workflows. This early exposure to the nursing profession continues to inform my practice, ensuring that my approach to complex procedural interventions remains rooted in patient-centered care and holistic management.
I earned my Doctor of Medicine from the Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF). During my medical education, I focused on the integration of diagnostic imaging and clinical pathology. My time at FEU-NRMF was instrumental in developing the knowledge necessary for a career in radiology, specifically in understanding how image-based diagnostics serve as the cornerstone for modern therapeutic decision-making.
I completed my residency training at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI), a premiere tertiary specialty center in Quezon City, Philippines. Training at NKTI offered an intensive clinical environment focused on renal diseases and transplant medicine, where the role of the radiologist is vital to successful patient outcomes. As a chief resident, I was able to juggle hospital work with admin work, not sacrificing my passion in the field. During my residency training, I became increasingly focused on the therapeutic potential of Radiology, leading me to pursue further specialization in Interventional Radiology.
As a current fellow in Interventional Radiology, my current work focuses on the application of image-guided techniques to manage a diverse range of pathologies. My clinical practice utilizes fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and computed tomography to perform minimally invasive procedures that offer reduced morbidity and enhanced recovery times compared to traditional surgical interventions.
My research interests are primarily centered on Body Interventional Radiology and Interventional Oncology (IO). I am particularly interested in the optimization of locoregional therapies for solid tumors, including the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and thermal ablation techniques in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver disease.
At 37, I am dedicated to the advancement of interventional techniques and the evidence-based application of radiology in chronic disease management. My transition from nursing to a fellowship in interventional radiology allows me to bring a comprehensive clinical viewpoint to the IR suite. I remain committed to contributing to the medical literature and participating in the ongoing evolution of image-guided therapies to improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.
