Interventional Oncology Institute

About Interventional Oncology Institute

Interventional Oncology Institute (IOI), based in Barcelona, is a specialized medical center focused on minimally invasive, image-guided cancer treatments. With more than 20 years of clinical expertise, our mission is to provide effective, patient-centered solutions that improve quality of life while reducing surgical impact and recovery times. We offer a full spectrum of procedures including tumor ablation (microwave, cryoablation, radiofrequency, and irreversible electroporation), bone stabilization techniques such as vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and cementoplasty, as well as percutaneous biopsies and palliative interventions for pain management. Each case is approached through a multidisciplinary framework, integrating interventional radiology with oncology, radiotherapy, surgery, and pain medicine to deliver truly personalized care. Our philosophy is rooted in innovation and collaboration. IOI specialists have contributed to international research, authored scientific publications and book chapters, and participated in leading congresses such as CIRSE and ECR. We continuously adopt advanced technologies — from navigation systems and ablation platforms to spine implants — ensuring safe and precise treatments even in the most complex anatomical settings. At IOI, patients benefit from short hospital stays, rapid recovery, and a significant reduction in pain and dependency on systemic therapies. Beyond patient care, we are committed to education and training, offering workshops, lectures, and fellowships to shape the future generation of interventional oncologists. Our vision is to become a reference hub for interventional oncology in Europe, expanding the role of image-guided procedures as the “fourth pillar” of cancer care, alongside, medical oncology, surgery and radiotherapy. By combining experience, technology, and compassion, we strive to transform the way cancer is treated today and in the future.
