Percutaneous ablative treatment of metastatic bone tumours: visual analogue scale scores in a short-term series

摘要: Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the role palliative percutaneous secondary lesions bone treatment by comparing visual analogue scale (VAS) scores cryoablation plus vertebroplasty versus radiofrequency (RF) so as determine their feasibility, reliability and efficacy in a short-term series. Methods: Combined RF thermal ablation osteoplasty or performed osteolytic localisations 30 consecutive patients who were suffering from pain refractory conservative therapies. We evaluated with VAS during preoperative period at four hours, 24 one week, month, three months six post procedure. Results: There no statistically significant differences score between treated those week (p-value is 0.34), month 1), 0.68) 0.65) Patients have less hours than 0.001) (p -value vertebroplasty. Conclusion: Both are optimal techniques painful metastatic cancer. Cryoablation achieves treatment-related early follow-up better volume control real-time depiction margins.
