Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Oncology
Interventional Radiology

Background:

Sarcomas are rare cancers requiring diverse treatment strategies.
Percutaneous thermal ablation presents a minimally invasive approach for managing these tumors.
Current evidence supports ablation for specific sarcoma subtypes and metastatic disease.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current applications and advancements in percutaneous thermal ablation for sarcoma treatment.
To highlight the role of ablation as an adjunct to traditional therapies like surgery and radiation.
To discuss emerging ablative modalities and combination therapies.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on percutaneous thermal ablation in sarcoma.
Analysis of safety and efficacy data for various ablation techniques.
Exploration of novel ablative technologies and combination treatment strategies.

Main Results:

Percutaneous thermal ablation demonstrates safety and efficacy for local tumor control and palliation in select sarcoma patients.
Ablation is particularly beneficial for extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis and oligometastatic disease.
Combination therapies (e.g., cryoablation with immunotherapy) and histotripsy are areas of active research.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous thermal ablation is a valuable tool in the multidisciplinary management of sarcoma.
While high-level evidence is limited, ablation offers a safe and effective option for local control and pain relief.
Emerging non-thermal modalities like histotripsy may broaden future treatment possibilities.
