ABSTRACT
IR has a wide application in the diagnosis, active management, and palliation of malignant disease. However radiological interventions in cancer patients require a comprehensive assessment of the patient and careful consideration of the risks and benefits of the procedure. Factors unique to oncology patients must be evaluated, and decisions regarding therapeutic benefit must be made in light of the patient’s prognosis and quality of life considerations. Effective communication of information about nature, benefits, and potential complications are an integral part of the treatment (2) .
