Minimally invasive treatments of painful bone lesions: state of the art

Antonio Barile et al. Med Oncol. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

The role of the interventional radiology (IR) in the musculoskeletal system, and in particular in the bone, is a field of knowledge that is growing significantly in the last years with indications for treatment of both benign and malign lesions. In this paper, we review the state of the art of this application of the IR in the bone (bone metastasis and benign bone lesions) with discussion about all the techniques today used.

Keywords: Bone metastasis; Bone pain management; Embolization; Interventional radiology; Laser; MRgFUS; Microwaves; Painful bone lesions; RFA.
