ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the current status of interventional radiology discipline in the provincial-level and national cancer hospitals of China, and to provide supportive data for the future systematic construction of interventional radiology.

Methods:

A questionnaire was used to survey 32 provincial and national cancer hospitals of China. The survey included data such as discipline settings, medical treatment, medical education, and scientific research. Then descriptive statistical analysis was performed based on the data.

Results:

All 32 provincial and national cancer hospitals of China had interventional radiology services and were equipped with independent wards; the deployment rates of DSA, ultrasound, CT, and radiofrequency ablation equipments were 100%(32/32), 81.3%(26/32), 40.6%(13/32), and 75.0%(24/32), respectively. Of all 32 hospitals, 27 (84.4%) had performed more than 1 000 interventional operations per year. The proportion of hospitals that had interventional subspecialties was 21.9% (7/32). As for the interventional radiology doctors in these hospitals, the ratio of doctors with a background of medical imaging specialty was 69.6%(256/368); the proportion of doctors with ages ≤ 45 years old was 72.0%(265/368); and the ratio of doctors with a master degree was 79.9%(294/368). Among the 32 hospitals, 22 (68.8%) had more than 500 000 yuan research funds in intervention radiology discipline, and 71.9%(23/32) had intervention radiology discipline postgraduate tutors.

Conclusions:

The overall development of interventional radiology discipline in provincial-level and national cancer hospitals is good. The discipline development pattern might set a good example for interventional radiology discipline construction in general hospitals.
