This Manual of Interventional Oncology by Douglas Coldwell is the culmination of more than 30 years of training, hands-on practice, and skills learned from oncology colleagues. The successful practice of interventional oncology (IO) requires familiarity with all cancer interventions, and the ability to recognize each of their strengths and weaknesses. Acquiring basic knowledge of all facets of the vast, ever-evolving cancer treatment paradigm enables greater understanding of how IO fits into the broad cancer management continuum.


The first five chapters lay a solid foundation, detailing essentials of medical and surgical oncology and radiation, followed by interventional radiology cancer treatments and agents used in cancer chemotherapy. Twelve cancer-specific chapters cover tumor management and discussion of minimally invasive, image-guided tumor ablation techniques for each type of cancer, as well as IO for pain management and palliative care.


Key Highlights



  • IO interventions for prevalent cancers such as colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, liver, bladder, breast, lung, and gynecologic - and less common pathologies including neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and cholangiocarcinoma

  • More than 125 illustrations accompany succinct discussions of pathology, epidemiology, genetics, staging, treatment, outcomes, and IO options for each type of tumor

  • An overview of clinical trials provides a glimpse of future IO innovations

  • A road map to a successful IO career includes pearls gleaned from years of managing a thriving practice


This definitive guide is a must-have for clinicians working in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. It provides interventional radiologists with the necessary building blocks, information, and techniques to thrive in this rapidly evolving specialty.

Douglas M. Coldwell

Dr. Douglas M. Coldwell is an internationally recognized expert in local regional therapy of cancer. He has pioneered numerous treatments for cancer, including the use of radioactive particles delivered through the arteries to treat tumors typically in the liver but which can be found anywhere.

He was the first to use a probe that treats metastatic tumors in the spine by heating them with a bipolar radiofrequency ablation probe and then reinforcing the bone with cement to halt pain. The combination of radiofrequency ablation of the tumor and the reinforcing cement stabilizes the spine and allows improved quality of life.

After Dr. Coldwell received his BA and PhD in Materials Science from Rice University in Houston, TX, he had a stint teaching solid state physics and researching for Texas Instruments, Inc. He attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, performed his internship and residency at the Pennsylvania State University Medical School at Hershey, PA, and followed with his fellowship in Cancer Interventional Radiology at University of Texas System Cancer Center, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

He is Board Certified in both Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. Dr. Coldwell is a Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology, the American College of Radiology, and the American Heart Association. He has been on numerous university faculties, frequently lectures internationally, and has authored over 100 peer reviewed papers.
