I enjoy basic science research, specifically cancer biology, and wanted to explore interventional oncology more. Would basic science research be feasible as a interventional oncologist in an academic setting? Any one have any good resources or can point me to other threads regarding interventional oncology? I wanted to know more about what kind of procedures they though.
Also, any possibility of turf war with medical oncologists/radiation oncologists/surgical oncologists/vascular surgeons??
How would the new clinical IR model fit in with interventional oncologists since I'm assuming medical oncologists would continue to oversee those patients?
Sorry for such ignorant questions, I'm just learning more about interventional radiology and was intrigued by interventional oncology.
Appreciate the help, thanks!
