Addressing a Critical Need for Interventional Oncology (IO) Research

Interventional Oncology (IO) is playing an increasingly central role in cancer care. This growth has underscored an opportunity to optimize and expand the role of IO even further through cutting-edge basic science, translational, and clinical research. High-quality clinical trials hold the potential to change guidelines that determine practice and reimbursement. These trials develop on a backbone of pre-clinical science that establishes pathways and mechanisms to enable the integration of image-guided therapies into the continuum of cancer care. The Society of Interventional Oncology’s (SIO) physician community is leading the way in supporting and facilitating this critical research. A strategic priority for our society, we seek to identify new opportunities for research that will improve outcomes for patients as we continue to build interventional oncology as the fourth pillar of cancer therapy. To realize this goal, we are committed to partnering with industry to support and enable groundbreaking science that seeks to discover and develop innovative approaches in oncology research that will improve access and adoption of these life-changing interventions.
