Dr. Juan Camacho

Dr. Juan Camacho is a fellowship trained Vascular and Interventional Radiologist as well as a borad certified Body Imager. As a Clinical Associate Professor at Florida State University’s College of Medicine, and throughout his prior academic appointments, Dr. Camacho gained experience conducting clinical and translational research in interventional radiology and abdominal imaging. Most recently, while developing the clinical ENT service line at the institutions where Dr. Camacho practiced, he started to clinically treat patients with benign and malignant thyroid conditions with percutaneous and endovascular interventions. Additionally, Dr. Camacho led translational research in the ablation literature by developing a large animal model to perform thyroid ablation and evaluate the histological changes produced which led to an industry-funded ablate and resect study for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Currently, he has been applying Thyroid Artery Embolization (TAE) for the treatment of large thyroid glands that are ineligible for ablative techniques and will be leading the first multiinstitutional trial on the subject (the PROTECT registry). Dr. Camacho has also been designing clinical trials to study intravascular delivery of treatments for thyroid pathology alone or in combination with percutaneous techniques.
