A member asked:
Interventional radiology: about how long after an ire for cancerous tumor til a ct/pet scan is done to ascertain the results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is IRE?: It is best to avoid abbreviations...they can only delay interpretation of what is wrong and where it is! As for your answer to your question... your oncologist is in a better position to address them than an interventional radiologist.
