Interventional oncology

Explore the IO track at the CIRSE 2021 Summit!

Minimally invasive cancer care continues to be a rapidly developing field, and interventional oncology has become an exciting component of the CIRSE Annual Meeting. The broad range of topics covered by IO will once again be featured in this year’s programme.

Focus sessions will cover mCRC and intra-arterial treatment, renal cancer management, and how to know when we’re doing a good job in cancer care. Expert round table sessions will discuss how to treat a medium to large unresectable HCC, and immuno-oncology’s relation to interventional oncology. Additionally, a hot topic symposium will address if there’s still a place for TARE in HCC, and further case based discussions and controversy sessions will shine a spotlight on all aspects of the fourth pillar of cancer care.

TARE in HCC treatment

We sat down with Dr. Edward Kim from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York/US to discuss the current role of TARE in HCC treatment, its key advantages, the specific approaches used at his instruction as well as patient selection and its future as a first-line therapy.

The best IO training offers practitioners education on imaging and image guided therapy, but also on oncology. It should expose them to the full oncology spectrum, namely through multidisciplinary tumour boards, and to patients through pre and post treatment consultation. CIRSE has a played great role in IO training by building a dedicated congress in the form of ECIO, and by including a dedicated IO track every year at the CIRSE Annual Congress.
