ABSTRACT

Four existing minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of primary and secondary bone tumors-alcoholization (ethanol ablation), cementoplasty, radio frequency ablation, and laser photocoagulation-are reviewed and discussed. Aspects of each technique, including mechanism of action, equipment, patient selection, treatment technique, and recent patient outcome are presented.

KEYWORDS

Bone tumor - radio frequency ablation - intervention
