Interventional Radiology (IR) is occupying an increasingly prominent role in the care of patients with cancer, with involvement from initial diagnosis, right through to minimally invasive treatment of the malignancy and its complications. Adequate diagnostic samples can be obtained under image guidance by percutaneous biopsy and needle aspiration in an accurate and minimally invasive manner. IR techniques may be used to place central venous access devices with well-established safety and efficacy. Therapeutic applications of IR in the oncology patient include local tumour treatments such as transarterial chemo-embolisation and radiofrequency ablation, as well as management of complications of malignancy such as pain, organ obstruction, and venous thrombosis.
介入放射学（IR）在癌症患者的治疗中发挥着越来越重要的作用，涵盖从初始诊断到恶性肿瘤及其并发症的微创治疗的各个环节。在影像引导下，可通过经皮活检和针吸术以准确且微创的方式获取足够的诊断样本。IR技术可用于放置中心静脉通路装置，其安全性和有效性已得到充分证实。IR在肿瘤患者中的治疗应用包括局部肿瘤治疗，如经动脉化疗栓塞和射频消融，以及恶性肿瘤并发症的处理，如疼痛、器官梗阻和静脉血栓形成。
