Abstract
We report a case of an osteoid osteoma at the scapular glenoid that was treated with cryoablation. The patient presented with shoulder pain with subsequent CT and MRI imaging findings suspicious for an osteoid osteoma. The patient complained of persistent pain despite medical treatment and was referred to interventional radiology for consideration of ablation. CT-guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma and the patient underwent cryoablation of the lesion in the same session. The patient reported a substantial relief in her pain at a follow-up 4 weeks after the procedure. MRI performed 8 weeks after the procedure also confirmed radiographic remission of the lesion.

Percutaneous Cryoablation under Conscious Sedation: A Safe, Effective and Painless Option for the Treatment of Pediatric Osteoid Osteoma. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6889. [PMID: 37959354 PMCID: PMC10650217 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation is an emerging technique for treating bone tumors. However, experience with using this procedure for osteoid osteomas in pediatric patients remains limited. Our study aims to assess its technical feasibility, clinical efficacy, and safety in children treated under conscious anesthesia. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive pediatric patients who underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for osteoid osteomas at our institution between September 2017 and March 2021. All patients received conscious anesthesia. Data on peri-procedural VAS scores, post-procedural VAS scores, imaging findings, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) usage rates were collected for each patient. Technical success was defined as proper cryoprobe placement at the nidus center, while clinical success referred to pain relief without NSAID use. Intra- and post-operative complications were also evaluated. RESULTS Nine patients underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for osteoid osteomas under conscious sedation, with a 100% overall success rate with low peri-procedural and median VAS scores (p < 0.01). No complications were observed during or after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation of pediatric osteoid osteomas is an effective and safe minimally invasive procedure feasible under conscious anesthesia, holding promise as a valuable treatment option.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate complications associated with cryoablation in a pediatric population and review preventive measures to mitigate these complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study including all the image guided cryoablations performed on pediatric population. Immediate and delayed complications were analyzed, and we identified the different protective measures used and the clinical outcomes from follow-up. Point estimates for the percentage of complications were calculated by maximum likelihood, and 95% confidence intervals for the true percentages were calculated using the Clopper-Pearson exact method. RESULTS Eighty-seven ablations were performed on 68 patients (age range of 2-18 years, mean 12.4 years) for non-neoplastic (70%) and neoplastic (30%) lesions. The percentage of ablations resulting in complications was 18% (95% confidence interval (CI) 11% to 28%). Of these, 5% (95% CI 1% to 11%) were grade 3 complications, and 14% (95% CI 7% to 23%) were grade 2 complications. Thermal protection was performed in 27.6% of ablations (n = 24). The mean clinical follow-up duration was 348 days. CONCLUSION Cryoablation in pediatric patients is relatively safe, with a major complication rate per ablation of 5%. Thermal protective measures can be considered to mitigate these complications.

Abstract
In the rapidly evolving field of interventional oncology, minimally invasive methods, including CT-guided cryoablation, play an increasingly important role in tumor treatment, notably in bone and soft tissue cancers. Cryoablation works using compressed gas-filled probes to freeze tumor cells to temperatures below -20 °C, exploiting the Joule-Thompson effect. This cooling causes cell destruction by forming intracellular ice crystals and disrupting blood flow through endothelial cell damage, leading to local ischemia and devascularization. Coupling this with CT technology enables precise tumor targeting, preserving healthy surrounding tissues and decreasing postoperative complications. This review reports the most important literature on CT-guided cryoablation's application in musculoskeletal oncology, including sarcoma, bone metastases, and bone and soft tissue benign primary tumors, reporting on the success rate, recurrence rate, complications, and technical aspects to maximize success for cryoablation in the musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is often difficult to clinically and radiologically diagnose intra-articular osteoid osteomas and osteoid osteomas of the hip joint. Treatment can also be difficult due to complex locational relationships. CT-guided radiofrequency ablation is currently the standard form of treatment.In this paper we report on a minimally-invasive concept for treating osteoid osteomas near the hip joint in children and adolescents which does not involve using computed tomography. MATERIAL AND METHOD 10 patients with an average age of 12.1 years underwent treatment for osteoid osteomas in the hip joint region. The diagnosis was made using a contrast-enhanced MRI. The osteoid osteomas were marked percutaneously using x-ray and MRI guidance. MRI-guided drilling/curettage was performed in 4 cases and arthroscopic resection in 6 cases. RESULTS All lesions were successfully treated using the MRI-guided method. All patients were free of pain after the treatment. There was no instance of recurrence during the follow-up period, which averaged 10 months. The effective dose for marking the lesion was between 0.0186 mSv and 0.342 mSV (mean 0.084 mSV). CONCLUSIONS Our MRI diagnostics protocol, the MRI-guided drilling and the minimally invasive hip arthroscopy represent an alternative to CT-guided radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of osteoid osteomas. Radiation exposure can thereby be significantly reduced. Hip arthroscopy can also be used to treat secondary pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a single center's experience evaluating the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional database research identified 33 symptomatic patients (≤ 18 years of age; male/female ratio: 21/12, mean age 13.09 ± 3.66) with osteoid osteoma who were treated by CT-guided RFA. Technical and clinical success as well as complication rates were recorded. The duration of the procedure, the number of computed tomography scans and the results of the biopsy were assessed. Pain, prior, the following morning and 1 week, 1/6/12 months after the procedure were compared by means of a numeric visual scale (NVS) questionnaire. RESULTS Mean lesion size was 8.28 ± 4.24 mm. Mean follow-up was 23.33 ± 17.61 months (range 12-62). Mean pain score prior to radiofrequency ablation was 9.06 ± 0.80 NVS units. On week 1 and 1/6/12 months, all patients were pain-free reporting 0 NVS units (p < 0.05). The mean procedure time was 54 min (range 51-59) and a mean of 7 CT scans were performed during the ablation session. RF electrode was successfully placed in the center of the nidus in all cases. In our study, none of our patient experienced recurrence of the pain, nor complications. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that percutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency ablation constitutes a safe and effective technique for osteoid osteoma treatment in children.

Abstract
AIM We sought to systematically assess and summarize the available literature on the clinical outcomes and complications following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for painful spinal osteoid osteoma (OO). METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and CENTRAL databases were searched in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Studies with available data on safety and clinical outcomes following RFA for spinal OO were included. RESULTS In the 14 included studies (11 retrospective; 3 prospective), 354 patients underwent RFA for spinal OO. The mean ages ranged from 16.4 to 28 years (Females = 31.3%). Lesion diameters ranged between 3 and 20 mm and were frequently seen in the posterior elements in 211/331 (64%) patients. The mean distance between OO lesions and neural elements ranged between 1.7 and 7.4 mm. The estimated pain reduction on the numerical rating scale was 6.85/10 (95% confidence intervals [95%CI] 4.67-9.04) at a 12-24-month follow-up; and 7.29/10 (95% CI 6.67-7.91) at a >24-month follow-up (range 24-55 months). Protective measures (e.g., epidural air insufflation or neuroprotective sterile water infusion) were used in 43/354 (12.1%) patients. Local tumor progression was seen in 23/354 (6.5%) patients who were then successfully re-treated with RFA or open surgical resection. Grade I-II complications such as temporary limb paresthesia and wound dehiscence were reported in 4/354 (1.1%) patients. No Grade III-V complications were reported. CONCLUSION RFA demonstrated safety and clinical efficacy in most patients harboring painful spinal OO lesions. However, further prospective studies evaluating these outcomes are warranted.

Abstract
Background Cryoablation is playing an increasing role in the percutaneous treatment of bone tumors. However, despite its potential advantages over heat-based ablation techniques, the clinical safety and efficacy of cryoablation have not been established for osteoid osteoma treatment. Purpose To evaluate percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in young patients and adults. Materials and Methods This retrospective study reviewed data from 50 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma between January 2013 and June 2019 in a single institution. In 30 of 50 patients (60%), the procedure was carried out with the patient under local anesthesia and conscious sedation, with the cryoprobe covering the lesion from an extraosseous position, avoiding direct penetration of the nidus. Clinical and radiologic features, procedure-related data, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, complications, and overall success rate were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed by using the nonparametric Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed rank test for repeated measures. Results Fifty patients (median age, 24 years; interquartile range [IQR], 19-38 years; 31 men) underwent CT-guided cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma, with a 96% (48 of 50 patients) overall clinical success rate. Of the two patients without clinical success, one patient had incomplete pain relief and the other experienced a recurrence of osteoid osteoma at 11 months, which was successfully treated with a second cryoablation procedure. The median VAS pain score was 8 (IQR, 7-8) before the procedure and 0 (IQR, 0-1; P < .001) after the procedure at both primary (6 weeks) and secondary (18-90 months) follow-up. Three of the 50 patients had minor complications (6%); no major complications were reported. Conclusion Osteoid osteoma was safely, effectively, and durably treated with CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation. In the majority of patients, treatment could be performed without general anesthesia, with the cryosphere covering the nidus from an extraosseous position. © RSNA, 2021.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 31:1611-1624. [PMID: 33839926 PMCID: PMC8578134 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-021-02946-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Osteoid osteoma is the third most common benign bone tumor, with well-known clinical presentation and radiological features. Although surgical excision has been the only therapeutic option for a long time, to date it has been replaced by minimally invasive techniques, which proved satisfactory success rates and low complication occurrence. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review was to describe the main updates of these recent procedures in the field of interventional radiology, with particular attention paid to the results of the leading studies relating to the efficacy, complications, and recurrence rate. Nevertheless, this study aimed to analyze the peculiarities of each reported technique, with specific focus on the possible improvements and pitfalls. Results proved that all mininvasive procedures boast a high success rate with slight number of complications and a low recurrence rate. Radiofrequency ablation is still considered the gold standard procedure for percutaneous treatment of osteoid osteoma, and it has the possibility to combine treatment with a biopsy. Interstitial laser ablation's advantages are the simplicity of use and a lower cost of the electrodes, while cryoablation allows real-time visualization of the ablated zone, increasing the treatment safety. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery is the most innovative non-invasive procedure, with the unquestionable advantage to be radiation free.

PeerJ 2021; 9:e10724. [PMID: 33520471 PMCID: PMC7812921 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.10724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The traditional treatment for osteoid osteoma is the nidus’ surgical resection, which was difficult to eradicate with more invasive and complications because of osteosclerosis surrounding the nidus. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of osteoid osteoma at different sites (especially refractory sites such as the spine). Methods Fifteen patients with osteoid osteoma who underwent cryoablation at our institution were analyzed retrospectively on their imaging data and clinical visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores before and after the procedure. Fifty-three patients underwent surgical resection during the period were also included in this study as a control group. Treatment efficacy was assessed primarily by comparing the differences in VAS scores at different time points in each group of patients by paired-sample t-test. Differences in length of hospital stay and complications between the two groups were also compared. Results The technical success rate was 100% in both the cryoablation and surgical resection group. Cryoablation had a significantly shorter hospitalization time than surgery (p = 0.001). Clinically, the post-operative VAS scores were all significantly improved compared to the pre-operative period, and the clinical cure was achieved in both groups. Surgical operations had more complications than cryoablation, although there was no significant difference. In the group of cryoablation, only one patient had mild numbness of the left lower extremity, which relieved itself; two patients had mild post-operative pain. No patients in the cryoablation group experienced recurrence during the follow-up period. In the surgery group, three of the patients experienced massive bleeding (>500 ml), and two underwent transfusion therapy. Only one patient in the surgical resection group experienced a recurrence at 29 months postoperatively and underwent a second resection. All patients had local scars on the skin after surgical resection. Conclusion Cryoablation is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective treatment strategy for osteoid osteoma, and is fully comparable to surgical resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe current advances in pediatric precision therapy through innovations in technology and engineering. A multimodal approach of chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy has improved survival outcomes for pediatric cancer but with significant early and late toxicities. The pediatric population is particularly vulnerable given their age during treatment. Advances in precision interventions discussed include image guidance, ablation techniques, radiation therapy and novel drug delivery mechanisms that offer the potential for more targeted approach approaches with improved efficacy while limiting acute and late toxicities. RECENT FINDINGS Image-guidance provides improved treatment planning, real time monitoring and targeting when combined with ablative techniques and radiation therapy. Advances in drug delivery including radioisotopes, nanoparticles and antibody drug conjugates have shown benefit in adult malignancies with increasing use in pediatrics. These therapies alone and combined may lead to augmented local antitumor effect while sparing systemic exposure and potentially limiting early and late toxicities. SUMMARY Pediatric cancer medicine often requires a multimodal approach, each with early and late toxicities. Precision interventions and therapies offer promise for more targeted approaches in treating pediatric malignancies and require further investigation to determine long-term benefit.

Abstract
Osteoid osteoma represents 10%-12% of all benign bone tumors, and is composed by osteoid tissue and reticular and immature bone tissue. Acetabular involvement is very rare (≤1%). In this case report, we describe the treatment of an osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum of a young man using cryotherapy under fluoroscopic guide with the new XperGuide system which is used to reduce X-ray radiation dose and to have a more accurate localization of the lesion compared to computed tomography-guided or surgical ablation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This prospective phase I trial was conducted to evaluate the safety of percutaneous cryoablation for osteoid osteoma (OO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine patients with OO (mean tumor size: 5.9 mm; tibia, n = 5; femur, n = 2; lumbar spine, n = 2) were enrolled and treated with percutaneous cryoablation. The primary endpoint was the evaluation of the treatment safety as determined using step-by-step registration. The secondary endpoints were the incidence and grade of adverse events by CTCAE version 4.0, and the short-term efficacy of this treatment. Based on a decrease in the numerical rating scale (NRS) score, efficacy was classified as significantly effective (SE ≥ 5 or reached 0-2), moderately effective (ME 2-4), or not effective (NE < 2 or increase). RESULTS Cryoablation procedures were completed in all patients. Major adverse events (≥ grade 3) related to the procedure were not observed. Minor adverse events (≤ grade2) were observed in 22-67%. The mean NRS score was 7 before treatment, 0.6 at 4-week, 0.1 at 6-month, and 0 at 1-year post-treatment. All procedures were classified as SE. CONCLUSION Percutaneous cryoablation is a safe treatment for OO. Future phase II trials with large patient cohorts are warranted.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) in the treatment of osteoid osteoma (OO), a painful, benign bone tumor. As MRgFUS is a noninvasive and radiation-free treatment, it stands to replace the current standard of care, percutaneous radiofrequency, or laser thermal ablation. Within an institution, creation of a clinical OO MRgFUS treatment program would not only provide cutting edge medical treatment at the current time but would also establish the foundation for an MRgFUS clinical service to introduce treatments currently under development into clinical practice in the future. The purpose of this document is to provide information to facilitate creation of a clinical service for MRgFUS treatment of OO by providing (1) recommendations for the multi-disciplinary management of patients and (2) guidelines regarding current best practices for MRgFUS treatment. This paper will discuss establishment of a multi-disciplinary clinic, patient accrual, inclusion/exclusion criteria, diagnosis, preoperative imaging, patient preparation, anesthesia, treatment planning, targeting and treatment execution, complication avoidance, and patient follow-up to assure safety and effectiveness.

Abstract
The field of cryosurgery began nearly 40 years ago with the open application of liquid nitrogen to ablate tumors. Recent developments in imaging and cryoprobe technology allow for percutaneous ablation of tumors. Computed tomography (CT)-guided cryoablation has particular use in treating musculoskeletal neoplasms because of the ability to image the lethal ice zone around both bone and soft tissue structures. This manuscript will review the development, indications, and results of cryoablation as applied to musculoskeletal neoplasms. This technique holds promise for the treatment of benign conditions as well as the palliation and durable treatment of musculoskeletal metastases; it is not commonly indicated in the curative treatment of primary malignant bone or soft tissue sarcomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the initial clinical experience of computed tomography (CT) imaging-guided percutaneous cryotherapy of bladder cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was approved by the human subjects committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Thirty-two patients (22 males and 10 females; mean age, 62.7 years) with muscle-invasive bladder cancer were treated with CT imaging-guided percutaneous cryoablation. By using CT imaging system and local anesthesia in patients, a single or multiple 1.47 mm cryoprobes were used to freeze the target bladder tumor (mean tumor size, 2.8 cm; range, 1.3-4.5 cm) with a dual freeze-thaw cycle. Follow-up was performed to assess the clinical and technical outcome of patients treated with cryoablation for a minimum of 6 months (mean, 33 months; range, 6-48 months). Tumors were considered completely ablated if there was no evidence to suggest tumor enhancement at follow-up CT images. RESULTS Bladder cryoablation was clinically and technically successful in all 32 cases, 30 of which required only one treatment session. Bladder integrity was maintained in all patients. Major complications were not observed in any patient. CONCLUSION Our initial experience of a minimally invasive method for ablating bladder tumors with CT imaging-guided percutaneous argon-helium cryoablation appears to be favorable, with acceptable operative and short-term clinical outcomes. The technique is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer; however, long-term follow-up is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case series over a 30-month period involved 10 consecutive adult patients (nine male and one female patients; mean age, 27.9 years; age range, 16-49 years) who underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for management of osteoid osteoma. Clinical and technical success was evaluated with postprocedure MRI at 4-5 weeks and with digital numeric pain scores taken before and immediately after the procedure, as well as at primary follow-up (4-10 weeks; average, 5 weeks) and secondary follow-up (23-29 weeks; average, 24 weeks). RESULTS Clinical and technical success rates were 100%. Average digital numeric pain scores were 7.4 before the procedure, 1.5 after procedure, 0.5 at the primary follow-up, and 0.3 at secondary follow-up. No minor or major complications were noted during the procedure, recovery period, primary follow-up, or secondary follow-up. CONCLUSION CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation is safe and effective in the treatment of osteoid osteoma in adults.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish a novel animal model of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided argon-helium cryotherapy system. A total of 48 rabbits were used to generate the ONFH models. In group I, the left femoral head of the rabbits received two cycles of argon-helium freezing-thawing under MRI guidance, while in group II, the right femoral head of each rabbit received only one cycle of argon-helium freezing-thawing. X-ray and histological examinations were performed. The percentages of lacunae in the femoral heads of group I at weeks 4, 8 and 12 following surgery (49.75±3.17, 62.06±4.12 and 48.25±2.76%, respectively) were higher than those in group II (39.13±4.48, 50.69±3.84 and 37.50±3.86%, respectively). In addition, the percentage of empty lacunae in group I was 62.06% at week 8 following surgery. Therefore, an animal model of ONFH was successfully established using an argon-helium cryotherapy system. The percentage of empty lacunae in group I was higher than that in group II at weeks 4, 8 and 12 after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a painful benign bone tumor of the young that is widely treated by percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) with success rates close to 100%. Nevertheless, some patients have recurrences. We reviewed the literature to understand whether these are true recurrences or incomplete treatments; to analyze safety and efficacy during long-term follow-up in a extremely large cohort of patients; to detail best-practice suggestions from the largest clinical trials as well as report their complications; and to recommend standards for future reporting. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study followed the Cochrane's guidelines for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) prospective or retrospective cohort study for PTA of OO under computed tomography (CT) guidance; (2) CT or magnetic resonance diagnosis; (3) radiofrequency ablation or interstitial laser ablation technique; (4) English language; (5) population <10 patients; (6) follow-up ≥12 months; and (7) original research. Risk of bias was assessed with a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Two hundred fourteen articles were initially found. After applying the criteria mentioned previously, 27 PTA articles concerning 1,772 patients were chosen for inclusion. No exclusions were made due to risk of bias. CONCLUSION The investigators proved the long-term efficacy and superiority of PTA for OO compared with other techniques. In 5% of patients, however, the technique failed, and the researchers did not offer detailed exhaustive explanations. Future clinical trials for OO ablation should consider reporting essential procedure details and follow-up findings to allow for a meta-analysis. We provide both recommended standards for future reporting and suggestions for the prevention of recurrence.

Abstract
CLINICAL ISSUE Primary and secondary liver tumors often limit patient outcome and only a minority of patients are eligible for potential curative surgery. Minimally invasive treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA) and cryoablation are alternative treatment options in a curative and palliative setting. One major limitation of RFA and MWA is the limited size of tumor ablation. Furthermore during the procedure the ablation size can only be roughly estimated using RFA and MWA. STANDARD TREATMENT RFA is the standard modality of minimally invasive tumor therapy. In comparison cryoablation is rarely used despite its advantages. TREATMENT INNOVATIONS Argon-helium-based cryoablation systems of the newest generation combine the advantage of small diameter applicators comparable with those of RFA and MWA systems with intrinsic advantages. ACHIEVEMENTS Cryoablation is a minimally invasive treatment option with advantages, such as virtually unlimited ablation size, real-time visualization using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound and intrinsic analgesic effects. On the other hand it is not very time-efficient in comparison to MWA. Especially in liver metastases RFA is the preferred treatment option. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS Cryoablation is a fascinating treatment option in minimally invasive tumor treatment. It demonstrates good results in hepatocellular carcinoma within the Milan criteria and T1a renal cell carcinoma. Furthermore it is a well-established treatment modality for palliative pain management in bone tumors.
