Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In oncological emergencies, rapid disease identification and evaluation are crucial. Fundamental to the diagnosis and management of oncological patients are medical imaging, lab tests, and clinical evaluations.
Computed tomography (CT) scans have become the cornerstone of these patients’ diagnostic and prognostic pathway to obtaining the best and most personalized treatment.
CT’s rapid timing should not be underestimated in the evaluation of oncological patients, as it makes their clinical and therapeutic management more efficient, in the shortest possible time. Moreover, medical history and remote and pharmacological anamnesis evaluations are essential to better define patients’ clinical–pathological conditions and, consequently, the best personalized therapeutic path.
Interventional radiologists, with their various mini-invasive procedures using medical devices and medical imaging guidance, such as X-rays, CT, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound, have also found their space in oncological diseases, undoubtedly improving patients’ survival parameters, prognosis, and management costs.
