  • Microwave ablation data is limited, requiring cautious application.
  • Cryoablation offers ice-ball visualization for enhanced safety.

    • Conclusions:

    • Thermal ablation techniques provide viable treatment options for spinal tumors.
    • Careful planning and monitoring are crucial to minimize neural complications.
    • Treatment selection should be individualized based on tumor characteristics and patient factors.
