INTRODUCTION The distant metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinomas are often untreatable. In particular, bone metastasis is significantly related to poor prognosis since radioactive iodine therapy is generally less effective. Therefore, surgical resection is considered one of the treatments for patients with bone metastases. We report chest wall resection and reconstruction using titani...

BACKGROUND Painful rib metastasis is common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Pain is often partially or totally refractory to analgesic medications or the side effects of medication are unacceptable. We report the safety and efficacy of a new method: radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating painful NSCLC rib metastasis. METHODS RFA procedures were completed in 12 patients with painful ...

Although many primary malignancies cause metastases, the most important among American males is prostate cancer, with a rate of bone metastasis of at least 50% [1]. The survival time for patients with metastatic disease is approximately 2 years. During this time, patient management must include the treatment of symptoms related to painful bone lesions [2]. Aside from pain, late stage patients a...

Objective: In randomised Dutch Bone Metastasis Study on the palliative effect of single versus multiple fraction irradiation on painful bone metastases all impending fractures were excluded from participation. During intensive follow-up 35 fractures occurred in 1157 patients. A subset of 102 patients with a femoral lesion, in which 8 fractures occurred within 12 weeks after irradiation (8%), wa...
