Abstract

Metastatic disease is the most common neoplasm involving the skeletal system and can result in significant pain and morbidity. Although narcotic medications and external beam radiation therapy remain the standard of care, several image-guided ablation techniques have evolved to play a role in the management of painful bone metastases. This article reviews the percutaneous ablation techniques available for relieving bone pain in patients suffering from cancer.
