Leading Interventional Oncology Network (LION)

The Leading Interventional Oncology Network (LION) comprises specialist consultants who work closely to provide a comprehensive range of image-guided interventions for cancer.

All consultants work in prestigious teaching hospitals and are leading experts in their respective fields.

The consultants meet weekly to discuss cases; given the wide range of interventional expertise, several different techniques may be suitable, all of which can be discussed in the regular clinic in bespoke consulting rooms in Harley Street London.

Interventional oncology includes members of different disciplines who work together to provide a cohesive service. Interventional Oncology uses real-time imaging to guide therapy. This may be for direct tumour treatment, relief of symptoms or for placement of long tubes into vessels that allow delivery of other treatments (such as chemotherapy). Imaging may also be used to obtain small samples of tumour tissue (biopsy).

Specialist treatments include:

Tumour Ablation
Vascular Oncology
Image Guided Pain Management
Vascular Access and Intervention
