New SIO NCCN Bone Cancer Guidelines
The Society of Interventional Oncology (SIO) has submitted updates to the NCCN Bone Cancer Guidelines, authored by Rahul A. Sheth, MD, FSIR; Amy Deipolyi, MD; Sean M. Tutton, MD, FSIR, FCIRSE; and Neil J. Resnick, MD, the recommendation advocates for the addition of a dedicated “Principles of Interventional Oncology” section, modeled on the recently adopted section in the Soft Tissue Sarcoma Guidelines. SIO noted that image-guided ablation and embolization are currently referenced only in limited contexts and argued that harmonization is warranted given overlapping disease biology and treatment paradigms. The request is supported by new prospective and meta-analytic evidence demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and multidisciplinary role of interventional oncology techniques in bone tumors and metastases.

Two Weeks Left to Apply: Master Precision Oncology Strategies for Endovascular Care
With one month remaining to apply, this is your reminder to secure a spot at the POWER Workshop: Precision Oncology With Endovascular Regimens, designed to strengthen your ability to integrate precision oncology into interventional practice. POWER is intentionally therapy-agnostic, focusing on improving decision-making rather than promoting any single modality. By precisely aligning patient biology and disease characteristics with the most appropriate endovascular therapies, we can improve outcomes and further solidify interventional oncology's role as a cornerstone of comprehensive cancer care.
Next steps:
- Applications close 1 May at 11:59 p.m. ET
- Decisions announced 1 June
This workshop is a focused opportunity to refine your clinical approach and stay at the forefront of precision oncology practice.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
- Apply precision oncology principles to endovascular treatment planning
- Integrate emerging minimally invasive and combination therapies into clinical practice
- Translate diagnostic imaging and molecular data into actionable therapeutic pathways
- Strengthen multidisciplinary communication and decision-making
- Explore the future role of interventional oncology in comprehensive cancer care
For more details, you can visit the SIO website.

Thoracic Diseases: Learning from Our Own, Helping Others, and Knowing When to Walk Away
Wednesday, 29 April 2026 | 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET
This webinar will examine real-world complications in thoracic interventional oncology, drawing practical lessons from lung ablation and patient management. Faculty will review strategies to prevent and manage complications related to lung biopsy and lung tumor ablation, including insights on what they would approach differently in hindsight. Attendees will also explore clinical scenarios where thoracic interventional oncology can help optimize outcomes for patients who are not ideal candidates for surgery or radiation therapy.

AI-Assisted OCT Imaging for Core Needle Biopsy Guidance
Diagnostics via MDPI
The heterogeneous nature of cancer, characterized by variations such as fat, necrosis and fibrosis, complicates the acquisition of adequate tissue samples during percutaneous image-guided biopsy. Although ultrasound and CT fluoroscopy aid in locating tumors for needle insertion, they often lack sufficient resolution for assessing tissue composition, leading to repeated biopsies and increased health care costs.
