Interventional Radiology in Palliative Care

“This is an excellent and timely overview of an increasingly important crossover area that can yield considerable benefits for patients and healthcare systems in general. It is well illustrated and referenced throughout. I would recommend it to any radiology department as a reference, and suggest it for the personal library of interventional radiologists and those in training.” (David Maudgil, RAD Magazine, March, 2023)
