Image-guided cancer care: Why interventional oncology deserves greater consideration

Cancer treatment is no longer limited to surgery, radiotherapy and systemic therapies. Advances in medical imaging have opened the door to increasingly precise, minimally invasive approaches that can expand treatment options and improve the way cancer is managed.

 

Yet, despite these advances, interventional oncology (IO) is too often under-represented in multidisciplinary team discussions, clinical guidelines and cancer care pathways. Ensuring that patients can benefit from the full range of available treatment options requires closer collaboration between the different specialists involved in cancer care.

 

To address this challenge, the European Cancer Organisation (ECO), through its Young Cancer Professionals (YCP) group, is joining forces with the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) for a timely discussion on the role of image-guided therapies in modern oncology.

 

Join us on Wednesday, 9 December, from 16:00 to 17:30 CET, and discover why interventional oncology deserves a stronger place in the European cancer conversation. Registration is now open.

Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) bring together specialists to plan cancer treatment. Their meetings, often known as tumour boards, are central to collaborative, evidence-based treatment planning. Ensuring that specialists from different disciplines contribute to these discussions is essential to making informed treatment decisions.

This roundtable will explore how image-guided therapies can be better integrated into multidisciplinary cancer care, clinical guidelines and cancer pathways. Participants will also get the chance to examine real-world clinical scenarios through interactive case studies on liver metastasis and superior vena cava syndrome.

Join us to:

  • Explore minimally invasive procedures, including tumour ablation and embolisation
  • Understand how image-guided therapies can complement surgery, radiotherapy and systemic treatments
  • Discuss how interventional oncology can be better integrated into tumour board decisions and cancer care pathways

The roundtable will be co-chaired by:

  • Amil Družić, Oncology and Radiotherapy Specialist, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo & Steering Committee Member, Young Cancer Professionals
  • Ignacio González-Huebra, Vascular & Interventional Radiologist, University Hospital of Fuenlabrada and University Hospital La Zarzuela and Hospital Blua Sanitas Valdebebas Madrid & Representative of the European Trainee Forum Subcommittee, Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE)
