Percutaneous ablation: safe, effective treatment of bone tumors.

چکیده
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of osteoid osteomas has replaced surgical excision as the preferred method for treatment of these benign lesions, due to high effectiveness and low morbidity. Both RFA and cryoablation are safe and effective for palliation of pain due to metastatic disease in patients who have failed conventional therapies. These image-guided treatments can be performed precisely, allowing safe treatment of complex metastatic tumors. A single ablation treatment is effective in most patients, is well tolerated, and provides a long duration of pain relief

Lung cancer remains the malignancy with the highest mortality and second highest incidence in both men and women within the United States. Image-guided ablative therapies are safe and effective for localized control of unresectable liver, renal, bone, and lung tumors. Local ablative therapies have been shown to slow disease progression and prolong disease-free survival in patients who are not s...
متن کاملUse of Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of Bone Tumors
Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established treatment tool utilized in musculoskeletal oncology. It is a safe, minimally invasive, and cost-effective treatment for many lesions. Most frequently utilized for treating osteoid osteomas, the technique is also helpful for controlling selected lesions from metastatic bone disease and other benign bone disorders, such as, chondroblastomas and osteob...

BACKGROUND Radiation therapy (RT) is the current gold standard for palliation of painful vertebral metastases. However, other percutaneous modalities such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryoablation, and vertebral augmentation have also been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms. Combined RT and ablation may be more effective than either therapy alone in palliating painful metastatic...
متن کاملPercutaneous ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for liver tumor with artificial pleural effusion or ascites.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thermal ablation is one of the major treatment methods for liver cancer. Tumor location close to the diaphragm or gastrointestinal tract was regarded as the treatment contraindication before due to poor visibility of the tumor or increased risk of thermal injury to the adjacent organs. This study used artificial pleural effusion or ascites...
