The evolution of interventional oncology: pioneering a new era in cancer care
Volume 1, article number 1, (2025)
In this editorial, Philippe L. Pereira and Thomas Helmberger trace the evolution of interventional oncology from a subspecialty of interventional radiology to a recognised fourth pillar of cancer care. They discuss the field’s rapid progress, its growing role in multidisciplinary treatment, and emerging synergies with immunotherapy. The article also highlights IASIOS accreditation as a key element in ensuring standardised, high-quality care across institutions, helping to establish shared benchmarks and strengthen IO’s role within the wider oncology community.
