- Abstract
Interventional oncology uses image-guided procedures to enhance cancer care. Today, this specialty plays an increasingly critical role in cancer diagnosis (e.g., biopsy), cancer therapy (e.g., ablation or embolization), and cancer symptom palliation (e.g., nephrostomies or biliary drainages). Although the number of procedures and technical capabilities has improved over the last few years, challenges remain. In this article we discuss the need to advance existing procedures, develop new ones, and focus on several operational aspects that will dictate future interventional techniques to enhance cancer care, particularly by accelerating drug development and improving patient outcomes.
