Introduction to Issue on Yttrium-90 Radioembolization

Interventional oncology (IO) has developed into a subspecialty within interventional radiology and is evolving into the fourth pillar of cancer care in conjunction with medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. Interventional oncology is one of the most exciting and growing areas in minimally invasive interventions with the advent of innovative therapeutic platforms and dedicated devices. Yttrium-90 radioembolization, also known as selective internal radiation therapy or simply Y90, has become established as a very important therapeutic modality in the armamentarium of the interventional oncologist.
