European Conference on Interventional Oncology (ECIO) 2015
ECIO is now well established as an annual event, and the interest shown and the feedback received have demonstrated that the move to an annual format was a wise one.
The field of interventional oncology is growing rapidly, and ECIO offers a structured space in which practitioners can stay abreast of the latest developments and learn new techniques. Oncology is a field that requires inter-disciplinary collaboration.
Patients now benefit from a vast array of specialist knowledge, but this brings its own challenges, and ECIO is striving to ensure its educational programme reflects and supports a collaborative approach. This includes working with diverse partner societies on a variety of joint sessions, and we are delighted that such sessions will again be offered.
The president of the Japanese Society of Interventional Radiology, which has been strongly focused on interventional oncology for many years, will be delivering this year’s Honorary Lecture. Dr. Yasuaki Arai, who has been at the forefront of the discipline in the Asia-Pacific, will be giving a speech entitled Beyond the evidence – the true goal of interventional oncology.
