Interventional oncology is a subspecialty field of interventional radiology drat addresses the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and c.micer-related problems by using targeted minimally invasive procedures performed with image guidance. Immuno-oncology is an innovative area of cancer research and practice that seeks to help the patient's own immune system fight cancer.
