Objectives
1. Personalized Medicine / Interventional
Radiology (IR) and Oncology
2. Operating versus Interventional Radiology
3. Technology allows scientists to tailor drug
delivery to an individual's genetic code
4. Receiving chemotherapy medication
5. How does this effect the role of the nurse?
6. New technologies = less invasive procedures
Operating Room Interventional
Radiology
Open surgery
VS Needle biopsy
Tailored drug therapy
One size doesn’t fit all
With certain genetic mutations, some
drugs work better than others.
Who will benefit?
