Abstract:
About 50% malignant tumors may develop bone metastasis in advanced stage. Pain, pathological fractures and dysmotility are the main symptoms of patients with bone metastasis. Image-guided physical ablation can obviously relieve pain caused by bone metastasis, whereas imaging-guided bone cementoplasty can enhance bone stability, and has good effect on preventing and treating osteoporosis and pathological fractures. The progress of imaging-guided physical ablation, bone cementoplasty and the combination of two techniques in treatment of bone metastasis were reviewed in this article.
