Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Interventional Oncology will highlight the rapidly evolving role of minimally invasive image-guided therapies in cancer care. Interventional oncology (IO) has emerged as the “fourth pillar” of oncology, complementing surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology. This Special Issue will cover cutting-edge techniques including tumor ablation, embolization, and advanced catheter-directed therapies, alongside their integration into systemic treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted agents. We will explore novel technologies, imaging biomarkers, and AI-driven solutions to enhance precision, efficacy, and safety. Contributions will emphasize clinical outcomes, translational research, multidisciplinary collaboration, and future directions in IO. By gathering perspectives from leading experts, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of current innovations and chart a path forward in the effort to improve survival and quality of life in patients with cancer.
