Chair of the 2022 and 2023 European Conference on Interventional Oncology (ECIO), Philippe L Pereira muses on the status of interventional oncology (IO) in 2021, following more than a year of disruption from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Through his work on various European guidelines delineating cancer care pathways, he has been instrumental in shaping the discipline and flying the flag for IO within multidisciplinary working groups. “Most oncologists recognize the value of our minimally invasive therapies and know very well how to integrate our treatments into the therapeutic armamentarium that currently exists for cancer patients,” he says
