Summary
Interventional radiology (IR) offers palliative-curative treatments for bone metastases (BM), the most common bone tumors. Techniques include consolidative procedures like osteoplasty and ablation methods such as cryoablation.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Orthopedics
Background:
- Bone metastases (BM) are the most frequent bone tumors.
- Interventional radiology (IR) plays an increasing role in managing bone tumors.
- Current IR management follows a palliative-curative paradigm.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current applications of interventional radiology in bone metastases management.
- To provide an overview of IR techniques for bone tumor palliation and cure.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of interventional radiology techniques for bone metastases.
- Analysis of consolidative and ablative procedures in IR for bone tumors.
Main Results:
- IR utilizes osteoplasty, osteosynthesis, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and electrochemotherapy for BM.
- These techniques are integral to the palliative-curative approach for bone metastases.
Conclusions:
- Interventional radiology is a key modality in the multidisciplinary management of bone metastases.
- IR offers diverse therapeutic options for improving patient outcomes in bone tumor treatment.

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
