Interventional Radiology in Oncology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective

Jennifer Rusby*

Interventional Radiology (IR) has become a linchpin in the intricate tapestry of modern oncological care, forging a path through the convergence of diverse medical disciplines. This article delves into the multifaceted realm of Interventional Radiology in the context of oncology, spotlighting its pivotal role as a keystone in the multidisciplinary approach to patient well-being. IR techniques may be used to place central venous access devices with well-established safety and efficacy. Therapeutic applications of IR in the oncology patient include local tumour treatments such as transarterial chemo-embolisation and radiofrequency ablation, as well as management of complications of malignancy such as pain, organ obstruction, and venous thrombosis.
