Area of Science:

  • Interventional Oncology
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Percutaneous image-guided thermal ablation is increasingly used for musculoskeletal tumors.
  • Interventional oncology is recognized as a fourth pillar of cancer care.
  • Thermal ablation poses risks to adjacent structures like skin, bowel, and nerves.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review thermal ablation modalities for musculoskeletal tumors.
  • To discuss associated thermal injury risks.
  • To introduce protective techniques for safe and effective ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of thermal ablation mechanisms (hypothermic and hyperthermic).
  • Review of risks associated with radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, etc.
  • Description of active and passive thermal protection strategies.

Main Results:

  • Thermal ablation mechanisms vary, influencing associated risks.
  • Knowledge of mechanisms aids in risk assessment.
  • Active (hydrodissection, pneumodissection) and passive (monitoring) techniques mitigate risks.

Conclusions:

  • Thermal ablation is effective for musculoskeletal tumors but requires careful risk management.
  • Understanding modality-specific mechanisms is key to preventing thermal injury.
  • Implementing protective techniques is critical for safe and effective ablative therapy.
