Interventional Oncology (IO), the youngest and most rapidly growing offshoot of interventional radiology, has successfully established itself as an essential and independent pillar within the firmament of multidisciplinary oncologic care, alongside Medical, Surgical, and Radiation Oncology.
The toolbox of an IO practitioner builds upon common services for cancer patients such as venous and enteral access, biopsies, and palliative procedures, ablation and chemoembolization, to mention a few.
