Thermal and chemical ablation are effective for musculoskeletal tumors, offering benefits in pain relief and quality of life. These minimally invasive techniques are safe and well-tolerated, with rare complications.

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal oncology
  • Interventional radiology
  • Minimally invasive procedures

Background:

  • Ablation techniques are increasingly used for musculoskeletal (MSK) tumors.
  • Principles from other body systems are adaptable to MSK applications.
  • Limited large-scale studies demonstrate long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and applications of thermal and chemical ablation for bone and soft tissue tumors.
  • To highlight the safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes associated with these procedures.
  • To emphasize the importance of an integrated approach in managing MSK lesions with ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on thermal and chemical ablation for MSK lesions.

  • Discussion of technical aspects including probe design, image guidance, and complication reduction.
  • Analysis of clinical series focusing on osteoid osteomas and palliation of metastatic bone disease.

    • Main Results:

    • Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a first-line treatment for osteoid osteomas.
    • Thermal ablation safely palliates painful metastatic bone disease, reducing pain and analgesic use.
    • Improved quality of life is observed in cancer patients undergoing ablation for bone metastases.
    • Procedure-related complications are infrequent and generally manageable.

    Conclusions:

    • Ablation is a widely accepted locoregional treatment for MSK tumors.
    • Integrated patient care plans are crucial for optimizing ablation technique selection and timing.
    • Further research on longitudinal benefits and cost-effectiveness is warranted.
