Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the most rapidly evolving fields in cancer treatment, interventional oncology combines cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques with advanced imaging to precisely target tumors. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent innovations, clinical applications, and future trends in interventional oncology, with a focus on improving patient outcomes.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and specialists to contribute original research, reviews, and case reports that explore novel therapies, breakthroughs in imaging technology, and emerging interventional strategies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ablative techniques (radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation, etc.);
- Bland embolization, radioembolization, and chemoembolization;
- Image-guided drug delivery;
- Innovations in tumor-targeting technologies;
- Combined interventional and systemic treatments;
- Advances in clinical outcomes and quality-of-life improvements.
Submissions for this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer-review process and contribute to advancing our understanding of the potential and limitations of interventional oncology in the fight against cancer.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this timely and impactful Special Issue.
Dr. Mina S. Makary
Guest Editor
