This book is an excellent clinical guide for seasoned interventional radiologists as well as trainees in interventional oncology to consult on a day–to–day basis.

Interventional oncology is an exciting, fast-growing, and rapidly changing area within our specialty of interventional radiology. Interventional oncology uses image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat localized cancers in targeted and minimally invasive ways. The specialty of interventional oncology had its origins in the development of specific treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, including transarterial chemoembolization and percutaneous alcohol injection, well before the term interventional oncology had ever been recognized. Interventional oncology has expanded far beyond its scattered origins, with the mature specialty now comprising a variety of new treatment technologies and incorporating the full clinical care of the oncology patient before, during, and after treatment. Supported by ever-increasing clinical expertise and clinical trial data, interventional oncology is cementing its place as one of the four pillars of comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care—medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, and interventional oncology. Given the rapidly advancing field, we envisioned this textbook on interventional oncology to be succinct, clinically focused, and image-rich.

We wanted to create a concise resource on interventional oncology that could be used by trainees as well as seasoned interventional radiologists starting or expanding an interventional oncology practice. Each chapter is laid out with a similar format, including indications, contraindications, patient selection, preprocedure workup, technique (including equipment), postprocedure management and follow-up evaluation, side effects and complications, clinical data and outcomes, pearls, and references. The layout makes for high-yield preparation before seeing the oncology patient in clinical consultation before any proposed intervention, as well as knowing what to expect and look for in terms of patient management after the procedure. We compiled a fabulous and experienced group of authors for the chapters of this book—international leaders and experts in the area. Wehope that you find this book a valuable addition and resource for your interventional oncology practice.
