Authors synthesize
Interventional oncology (IO) consists of the use of image-guided
minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat patients with
cancer. Alongside medical, surgical and radiation oncology this
constitutes an important approach with potential to improve cancer
treatment and care. A team of experts in interventional oncology
and cancer care have created a new introduction that may be used by
any professional involved in the planning and delivery of
interventional oncology care around the world. The text is
particularly helpful and timely, and will again serve as a valuable
resource for those who develop new interventional oncology
services, as well as provide a source of training and an update for
clinicians working in this challenging clinical area. This title is
formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians.
