Share your science with hundreds of professionals in the global interventional oncology community: Submit an abstract to present at SIO2021, taking place 5–8 February 2021!
As the Society of Interventional Oncology monitors the effects of COVID-19 and tracks CDC recommendations, we have determined that we will be adding a virtual component to our live program.
As more information about event programming is finalized, we know one thing for certain: Presenting your abstract at the SIO2021 Annual Scientific Meeting helps you gain exposure for your work. Sharing your science with us contributes to the breadth of research at the forefront of the interventional oncology field.
Whether you join us in-person or virtually, you can make an impact on the future of IO and grow your career simply by submitting an abstract.
The SIO Y90 Master Class is a two-day virtual where thought leaders in interventional oncology will gather to learn about the latest research and techniques using Y90 radioembolization. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in tumor boards Q&A with faculty, and roundtable discussions with attendees while earning 11 CME credits. Members receive discounted rates, click the link below to learn more and register for the event, taking place 2-3 October 2020!

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Existing studies have highlighted significant disparities in HCC outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations, including ethnic minorities, safety-net populations, underinsured patients, and those with low socioeconomic status and high risk behaviors.

Interventional Radiology via J-Stage
To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided biopsy of abdominal para-aortic lesions. CT fluoroscopy-guided biopsy was performed for 30 lesions (median long diameter 2.4 cm; range, 1.3-12.4 cm) in 30 patients (11 women and 19 men; median age 64.5 years; age range 37-90 years) using 18- and/or 20-gauge needles.

Diagnostic Cytopathology via Wiley Online Library
Most patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)‐related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) present with lymph node metastasis. In these patients, fine needle aspiration (FNA) is not only a diagnostic tool, but a means for determining HPV status. HPV status, in turn, is used to determine tumor origin, prognosis, and even guide therapy. Thus, the limited sampling afforded by FNA must be optimized to meet heavy clinical demands. READ MORE
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Pediatric Imaging via Springer Link
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is being increasingly recognized as an important method of imaging a variety of adult malignancies including in the liver, breast, prostate and kidneys. Although most applications have been pursued in adults, children are the ideal patient population for CEUS for numerous reasons including avoidance of exposure to ionizing radiation and sedation.

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology via Science Direct
This study demonstrated that high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) produced with an intra-operative toroidal-shaped transducer causes fast, selective liver tumor ablations in an animal model. The HIFU device is composed of 256 emitters working at 3 MHz. A 7.5 MHz ultrasound imaging probe centered on the HIFU transducer guided treatment. READ MORE

Pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare but severe complication of catheter ablation for arterial fibrillation (AF). Symptoms include dyspnea, hemoptysis, recurrent pneumonia, and pulmonary hypertension. We herein discuss a 27-year-old male patient who presented with hemoptysis and dyspnea three months after catheter ablation for AF. READ MORE
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine via Wiley Online Library
The increasing use of ultrasound (US) for the diagnostic workup of thyroid lesions has subsequently been met with an increasing demand for effective US and US‐guided fine‐needle aspiration models. Although numerous do‐it‐yourself phantoms have been previously described, to our knowledge, this is the first to describe a more realistic US thyroid model using inexpensive consumer‐grade materials.
