Interventional oncology is a field of medical science, which includes treatment and diagnosis of cancer and other problems related to cancer using minimally invasive procedures. Interventional oncology uses various techniques such as Ultrasound, computed tomography, X-ray, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to treat tumors located in various organs of the body. Interventional oncology procedures are usually used to treat metastatic or primary cancer. These procedures can be used to treat cancer in pancreas, liver, lung, breast, prostrate, kidney, and bones. Interventional oncology procedures are segmented into two procedures i.e. diagnostic and therapeutic. Therapeutic procedures can be further categorized into ablation techniques and embolization techniques. Ablation techniques uses some form of heat to destroy tumor. Embolization Technique occludes blood vessels, which feed tumors and further destroy the tumor by means of ischemia. Both these procedures are minimally invasive and there is minimal pain, complications, and discomfort with rapid recovery.
