What Is Interventional Oncology and How Will It Shape the Future of Cancer Care?
The main goals of cancer diagnosis and treatment programmes are to cure or considerably prolong the life of patients and to ensure the best possible quality of life for cancer survivors.
INTERVENTIONAL ONCOLOGY is an emerging subspecialty of INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY that “uses image-guided procedures to enhance cancer care,” according to a recent paper published in The Oncologist. IO has evolved over the past decade as imaging capabilities have improved and new procedures have been developed. And now, with the most advanced imaging, it is possible to use minimally invasive techniques to treat tumors. Its role in cancer treatment has been steadily growing in importance; as that same study says, “Interventional oncology can now be considered the fourth pillar of modern oncology care” (the other three being medical, surgical, and radiation).
