Geneva University Hospitals
“Enrolling the Abdominal and Interventional Radiology Unit at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) in the IASIOS accreditation program has been a rewarding milestone for our team. Navigating this rigorous process allowed us to thoroughly analyze our service lines and cross-sectionally review our interventional oncology patient pathways.
By aligning our clinical workflows with the CIRSE Standards of Quality Assurance, we have challenged ourselves to further elevate our daily practices. IASIOS places the patient squarely at the center of care while firmly positioning the interventional radiologist as a major, formalized player within the multidisciplinary oncology ecosystem. This certification process has been invaluable in helping us standardize, coordinate, and continuously improve our delivery of high-quality, image-guided cancer treatments. It powerfully affirms our unit’s unwavering commitment to safety, excellence, and optimal clinical outcomes for every patient we treat.”

Ordensklinikum Linz
“For our hospital, the IASIOS accreditation ensures that every oncologic patient is provided with a seamless journey from initial diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It not only fosters vital interdisciplinary teamwork among oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons but also verifies our interventional radiology team’s expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and strict safety protocols. This effectively minimizes risks in minimally invasive oncologic procedures. We’ve refined our clinical pathways for enhanced documentation and committed to ongoing audits and quality improvements, all of which build greater patient trust in every step of their treatment.
IASIOS delivers patient-centered oncology right here, reassuring patients with proven excellence. Our dedicated team feels deeply honored by this recognition, staying motivated to innovate and deliver outstanding results every single day.”

Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology
“IASIOS raises the bar for our institution to bring the most up-to-date IO practices to our patients for the best outcomes. We benefit from this accreditation by being linked to other high-level IO institutions. We are the first institution in the USA to become associated with this esteemed accreditation and hope to lead the way for other IO practices in the USA!”

Leiden University Medical Centre
We are proud that IASIOS accreditation has strengthened how our service is recognised within our institution and beyond. It provides internationally recognised validation of the quality and safety of our practice, reinforcing our position in discussions with hospital leadership, particularly around strategic planning and resource allocation.
The accreditation has also increased confidence among referring clinicians, especially medical oncologists and oncologic surgeons, and strengthened our credibility in research collaborations and referral networks. Most importantly, it has helped formalise interventional oncology as a clinical specialty within comprehensive cancer care.

“We are proud and delighted to have obtained IASIOS accreditation. This achievement represents the culmination of the efforts made by the Campus Biomedico University Hospital Foundation to ensure that cancer patients are treated in accordance with IASIOS standards. All this, together with the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in oncology, guarantees scientific and clinical equity in the treatment of cancer, with the aim of achieving the much-coveted goal of making cancer a chronic disease thanks to all the specialists involved. The IASIOS standard will also guarantee safety and effectiveness in cancer treatment and will be a stimulus for scientific research in the field of interventional oncology”.
