SYNPOSIS
The doctors begin by discussing how they became interested in interventional oncology, with most of them recognizing opportunities to address unmet needs in the field. Each guest shares insights on the timelines and challenges involved in starting their IO practices, which vary significantly today. For instance, telehealth clinics are particularly viable in private practice IO, thanks to conferencing software and virtual translators. Hybrid care models, which combine in-person and remote consultations, can help overcome patient-level barriers such as time and transportation. The panel also emphasizes how increased clinic availability can significantly drive growth in procedural volume. Finally, they offer advice for starting an IO practice, including the importance of having clinic support staff, building strong relationships with referring physicians, and staying up to date with new technologies.
