Abstract

Interventional neuro-oncology encompasses an array of image-guided therapies—intra-arterial chemotherapy, regional drug delivery, chemoembolization, tumor ablation—along with techniques to improve therapy delivery such as physical or chemical blood–brain barrier disruption and percutaneous catheter placement. Endovascular and percutaneous image-guided approaches to the treatment of the brain, eye, and other head and neck tumors will be discussed.
