title: Animal models of cancer in interventional radiology.
abstract: Animal models will play an increasingly important role in oncology research, especially for solid tumours such as hepatocellular carcinoma that are resistant to chemotherapy. Many models have been used, but there is a need for increased awareness of the limitations of these models and also a need for guidance for future model development.
