Research in interventional oncology: How sound is the evidence base?
Journal of medical imaging and radiation oncology(2023)
Abstract
The level of evidence underpinning IO, as well as inclusion of IO in treatment guidelines and recommendations have increased substantially in recent years, indicating the growing importance and acceptance of IO in cancer care. The difficulty in conducting RCTs in IO is mitigated by the observation that they are not necessary to achieve guideline-inclusion. Nevertheless, it is crucial to conduct well-designed research projects to further consolidate the position of IO in the field of oncology. This will ensure that IO continues to evolve and meet the needs of cancer patients worldwide.
