About this book
This book’s aim is to provide a clinical guide to interventional oncology for the entire oncology team. Chapters are approached with the same interdisciplinary perspective that is used in the care itself, with each chapter written by an interventional radiologist with contributions from medical, surgical and/or radiation oncologists. Chapters cover the major cancers that can benefit from interventional oncology treatment (including lung, liver, kidney, and bone), as well as some of the physics and physiology behind these interventional modalities. This is an ideal guide for interventional radiologists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, as well as relevant trainees.
Reviews
“The chapters are well written to give an understanding of the epidemiology of the tumour type, and the current position of IO within the treatment paradigm, in particular specifying which particular treatments can best be used for different sizes and locations of different tumours. … This book succeeds in its stated aim of being an excellent guideto IO for the whole multidisciplinary team. It is well referenced and well presented and is highly recommended.” (David Maudgil, RAD Magazine, June, 2021)
