Abstract
Imaging and image processing is the fundamental pillar of interventional oncology in which diagnostic, procedure planning, treatment and follow-up are sustained. Knowing all the possibilities that the different image modalities can offer is capital to select the most appropriate and accurate guidance for interventional procedures. Despite there is a wide variability in physicians preferences and availability of the different image modalities to guide interventional procedures, it is important to recognize the advantages and limitations for each of them. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the most frequently used image guidance modalities for interventional procedures and its typical and future applications including angiography, computed tomography (CT) and spectral CT, magnetic resonance imaging, Ultrasound and the use of hybrid systems. Finally, we resume the possible role of artificial intelligence related to image in patient selection, treatment and follow-up.

Abstract
Percutaneous thermal ablation is widely used for local control and palliation of a variety of lesions throughout the musculoskeletal system. In this setting, safe ablation is predicated on the avoidance of unintentional injury to vulnerable neural structures that are often in proximity to ablation targets. This article highlights key periprocedural considerations in musculoskeletal ablation and reviews the array of active and passive thermoprotective measures that are critical to safe and successful treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report techniques and results of 16 cryoablation procedures in 11 patients treated for recurrent head and neck cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective study reviewed 11 consecutive patients with head and neck cancer recurrence after primary treatment by surgery and radiotherapy, treated with cryoablation between 2016 and 2020. Efficacy was measured by local control rate evaluated on MRI or/and PET. Tumor characteristics, number of cryoprobes, thermoprotective measures and complications were documented. RESULTS Sixteen cryoablation procedures were performed in 11 patients with head and neck cancer recurrence after surgery or radiotherapy, deemed ineligible for classic salvage treatment. Among 11 patients, four were treated for an epidermoid carcinoma, four for an adenocarcinoma and three for other types: 1 muco-epidermoid carcinoma, 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 esthesioneuroblastoma, 10/11 patients had prior surgery, 7/11 patients had prior chemotherapy and 3/11 patients had prior radiotherapy. Median number of cryoprobes was 4, [IQR, 3-6 cryoprobes], thermoprotective measures to protect surrounding organs were required for 10/16 procedures. After cryoablation, local control rate was 45.4% at a mean follow-up of 11.7 months (range 3-34 months). Among the 16 cryoablation procedures, four resulted in complications, two were considered major complications: one septic shock on inhalation pneumopathy during extubation, requiring intensive care; and one dysphonia due to a recurrent nerve injury. CONCLUSION Cryoablation as a salvage treatment for recurrence of head and neck tumors after surgery and/or radiotherapy is an effective option, especially for patients that cannot benefit from salvage surgery.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system is commonly involved by metastases, and skeletal-related events such as intractable pain due to direct osseous tumor involvement, pathologic fracture, and neurologic deficits as a result of nerve compression often adversely affect patient's quality of life. There have been substantial advances in percutaneous minimally invasive musculoskeletal oncologic interventions for the management of patients with musculoskeletal metastases including thermal ablations, cementation with or without osseous reinforcement via implants, osteosynthesis, neurolysis, and palliative injections which are progressively incorporated in clinical practice. These interventions are performed, in conjunction with or supplemented by adjuvant radiation therapy, systemic therapy, surgery, or analgesics, to achieve durable pain palliation, local tumor control, or cure. This article reviews minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided musculoskeletal oncologic interventions for the management of patients with extraspinal musculoskeletal metastases.

Abstract
Ablative (percutaneous and stereotactic) thermal and radiotherapy procedures for management of both primary and metastatic renal cell carcinoma are increasing in popularity in clinical practice. Data suggest comparable efficacy with lower cost and morbidity compared to nephrectomy. Ablative therapies may be used alone or in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy for treatment of primary tumor and metastatic disease. Imaging plays a crucial role in pre-treatment selection and planning of ablation, intra-procedural guidance, evaluation for complications, short- and long-term post-procedural surveillance of disease, and treatment response. Treatment response and disease recurrence may differ considerably after ablation, particularly for stereotactic radiotherapy, when compared to conventional surgical and chemotherapies. This article reviews the current and emerging role of imaging for ablative therapy of renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Clinical use of MRI for guidance during interventional procedures emerged shortly after the introduction of clinical diagnostic MRI in the late 1980s. However, early applications of interventional MRI (iMRI) were limited owing to the lack of dedicated iMRI magnets, pulse sequences, and equipment. During the 3 decades that followed, technologic advancements in iMRI magnets that balance bore access and field strength, combined with the development of rapid MRI pulse sequences, surface coils, and commercially available MR-conditional devices, led to the rapid expansion of clinical iMRI applications, particularly in the field of body iMRI. iMRI offers several advantages, including superior soft-tissue resolution, ease of multiplanar imaging, lack of ionizing radiation, and capability to re-image the same section. Disadvantages include longer examination times, lack of MR-conditional equipment, less operator familiarity, and increased cost. Nonetheless, MRI guidance is particularly advantageous when the disease is best visualized with MRI and/or when superior soft-tissue contrast is needed for treatment monitoring. Safety in the iMRI environment is paramount and requires close collaboration among interventional radiologists, MR physicists, and all other iMRI team members. The implementation of risk-limiting measures for personnel and equipment in MR zones III and IV is key. Various commercially available MR-conditional needles, wires, and biopsy and ablation devices are now available throughout the world, depending on the local regulatory status. As such, there has been tremendous growth in the clinical applications of body iMRI, including localization of difficult lesions, biopsy, sclerotherapy, and cryoablation and thermal ablation of malignant and nonmalignant soft-tissue neoplasms. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2021.

Abstract
Bone is the third most common site involved by cancer metastases, and skeleton-related events such as intractable pain due to direct osseous tumor involvement, pathologic fracture, and neurologic deficits as a consequence of nerve or spinal cord compression often affect patients' functional independence and quality of life unfavorably. The annual medical-economic burden related to bone metastases is a substantial component of the total direct medical cost estimated by the National Institutes of Health. There have been substantial recent advances in percutaneous image-guided minimally invasive musculoskeletal oncologic interventions for the management of patients with osseous metastatic disease. These advances include thermal ablation, cementation with or without osseous reinforcement with implants, osteosynthesis, thermal and chemical neurolyses, and palliative injections, which are progressively incorporated into the management paradigm for such patients. These interventions are performed in conjunction with or are supplemented by adjuvant radiation therapy, systemic therapy, surgery, or analgesic agents to achieve durable pain palliation, local tumor control, or cure, and they provide a robust armamentarium for interventional radiologists to achieve safe and effective treatment in a multidisciplinary setting. In addition, these procedures are shifting the patient management paradigm in modern-era practice. The authors detail the state of the art in minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided musculoskeletal oncologic interventions and the role of radiologists in managing patients with skeletal metastases. ©RSNA, 2021.

Abstract
Objectives: Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a non-invasive targeted tissue ablation technique that can be applied to the nervous system. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can visualize and evaluate nervous system microstructure. Tractography algorithms can reconstruct fiber bundles which can be used for treatment navigation and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics permit the quantitative assessment of nerve microstructure in vivo. There is a need for imaging tools to aid in the visualization and quantitative assessment of treatment-related nerve changes in MRgFUS. We present a method of peripheral nerve tract reconstruction and use DTI metrics to evaluate the MRgFUS treatment effect. Materials and Methods: MRgFUS was applied bilaterally to the sciatic nerves in 6 piglets (12 nerves total). T1-weighted and diffusion images were acquired before and after treatment. Tensor-based and constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) tractography algorithms were used to reconstruct the nerves. DTI metrics of fractional anisotropy (FA), and mean (MD), axial (AD), and radial diffusivities (RD) were measured to assess acute (<1-2 h) treatment effects. Temperature was measured in vivo via MR thermometry. Histological data was collected for lesion assessment. Results: The sciatic nerves were successfully reconstructed in all subjects. Tract disruption was observed after treatment using both CSD and tensor models. DTI metrics in the targeted nerve segments showed significantly decreased FA and increased MD, AD, and RD. Transducer output power was positively correlated with lesion volume and temperature and negatively correlated with MD, AD, and RD. No correlations were observed between FA and other measured parameters. Conclusions: DWI and tractography are effective tools for visualizing peripheral nerve segments for targeting in non-invasive surgical methods and for assessing the microstructural changes that occur following MRgFUS treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess efficacy and safety of percutaneous cryoablation (CA) for advanced and refractory extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study reviewed 30 consecutive patients with symptomatic desmoid tumors evolving after "wait and watch" periods, and despite medical treatment, treated by CA between 2007 and 2019. Progression free survival (PFS), objective response rate, pain reduction (decreased of visual analogic scale pain (VAS)[Formula: see text] 3 or disappearance of pain), total volume lesion (TVL) and complications were documented. Kaplan Meier method was used to outline PFS. Paired sample t test was used to compare volume of tumors before treatment and at 1 and 3 year. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 18.5 months (range 6-93 months, interquartile range (IQR): 12-55), the PFS was 85.1% at 1 year and 77.3% at 3 years. Objective response was obtained for 80% of patients with a complete response for 43% patients. Pain reduction was obtained for 96.7% (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 90.3, 100) of patients. Median volume of desmoid tumor before treatment was 124.1cm3 (range 2-1727cm3, IQR: 54-338cm3). Median change of TLV after ablation was 66.6% (95% CI: 37.2, 72.3; p = 0.002) at 1 year and 76.4% (95% CI: 59.1, 89.8; p = 0.002) at 3 year. Adverse events rate was 36.6%, the most common was edema and temporary increase of pain in the days following CA. Four patients experienced a major complication (13.3%): 2 skin necrosis, 1 infection and 1 brachial plexopathy. CONCLUSION CA is an effective treatment for advanced and refractory extra-abdominal desmoid tumor, that induces durable responses.

Abstract
As interventional oncology services within radiology mature, image-guided ablation techniques are increasingly applied to recurrent gynecologic malignancies. Ablation may be performed using thermal techniques like cryoablation, microwave ablation, or radiofrequency ablation, as well as non-thermal ones, such as focused ultrasound or irreversible electroporation. Feasibility and approach depend on tumor type, size, number, anatomic location, proximity of critical structures, and goals of therapy. Current indications include local control of limited metastatic disease or palliation of painful bone metastases refractory or unsuitable to conventional therapies. Technical aspects of these procedures, including methods to protect nearby critical structures are presented through illustrative examples. Cases amenable to image-guided ablation include, but are not limited to, hepatic or pulmonary metastases, musculoskeletal metastases, retroperitoneal nodal metastases, pelvic side wall disease, abdominal wall disease, and vaginal or vulvar tumors. Protective maneuvers, such as hydro-displacement of bowel, neuromonitoring, and retrograde pyeloperfusion through ureteral stents, permit safe ablation despite close proximity to vulnerable nerves or organs. Image-guided ablation offers an alternative modality to achieve local tumor control without the risks associated with surgery or systemic treatment in appropriately selected patients. A multidisciplinary approach to use of image-guided ablation includes collaboration between gynecologic oncology, interventional radiology, anesthesia, urology and radiation oncology teams allowing for appropriate patient-centered case selection. Long-term follow up and additional studies are needed to determine the oncologic benefits of such techniques.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal (MSK) image-guided oncologic intervention is an established field within radiology. Numerous studies have described its clinical benefits, safety, cost effectiveness, patient satisfaction, and improved quality of life, thereby establishing image-guided oncologic intervention as a preferred pathway in treating patients presenting with specific benign MSK tumors. But there is a paradigm shift on the horizon because these techniques may also support established pillars (surgery, systemic treatment, radiotherapy) in the treatment of malignant MSK tumors. Unlike benign tumors, where they are used as primary therapy lines with curative intent, such interventions can be selected for malignant tumors as adjuvant treatment in painful or unstable bone or soft tissue lesions or as more palliative therapy strategies. Using examples from our clinical practices, we elaborate on the benefits of applying a multidisciplinary approach (traditionally involving MSK radiologists, oncologists, orthopaedic surgeons, microbiologists, pathologists, physiotherapists, and pain management experts), ideally within a sarcoma treatment center to deliver a patient-specific therapy plan and illustrate methods to assess the benefits of this model of care.In this article, we review the current repertoire of ablation techniques, demonstrate why such procedures offer value-based alternatives to conventional treatments of specific tumors, and reflect on future directions. Additionally, we review the advantages and limitations of each technique and offer guidance to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Management of musculoskeletal (MSK) tumours has traditionally been delivered by surgeons and medical oncologists. However, in recent years, image-guided interventional oncology (IO) has significantly impacted the clinical management of MSK tumours. With the rapid evolution of relevant technologies and the expanding range of clinical indications, it is likely that the impact of IO will significantly grow and further evolve in the near future.In this narrative review, we describe well-established and new interventional technologies that are currently integrating into the IO armamentarium available to radiologists to treat MSK tumours and illustrate new emerging IO indications for treatment.

Abstract
AbstractSeveral interventional treatments have recently been integrated into the therapeutic armamentarium available for the treatment of bone tumors. In some scenarios (e.g., osteoid osteoma), interventional treatments represent the sole and definitive applied treatment. Due to the absence of widely shared protocols and the complex multivariate scenarios underlying the clinical presentation of the remaining bone tumors including metastases, therapeutic strategies derived from a multidisciplinary tumor board are essential to provide effective treatments tailored to each patient. In the present review, we present the multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies commonly adopted for the most frequent bone tumors.

Abstract
Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation plays an increasingly important role in the multidisciplinary management of musculoskeletal lesions. Established indications for ablation in this setting include the treatment of osteoid osteomas, palliation of painful skeletal metastases, local control of oligometastatic disease, and consolidation of bone tumors at risk for fracture. Emerging indications include the treatment of symptomatic soft tissue masses such as extra-abdominal desmoid tumors and abdominal wall endometriosis. This review will discuss considerations in patient selection and preprocedural workup, ablation technology and techniques, strategies to avoid complications, and expected outcomes of ablation in the musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
Eight patients who underwent percutaneous cryoablation of mixed and/or motor nerves over a period of 5 years were identified. Distances from the ablation sites to origins of distal musculature were measured, and times to initial clinical recovery were collected. Strength progression over time following muscle activation was also collected and analyzed. All patients demonstrated activation of all muscles distal to the ablation, and the calculated mean rate of nerve regeneration based on distance to the origin of the assessed musculature and time to muscle activation for the group was 1.5 mm/day ± 1.1.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the utility of monitoring transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (TCeMEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) for neural thermoprotection during musculoskeletal tumor ablations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of 29 patients (16 male; median age, 46 y; range, 7-77 y) who underwent musculoskeletal tumor radiofrequency ablation (n = 8) or cryoablation (n = 22) with intraprocedural TCeMEP and SSEP monitoring was performed. The most common tumor histologies were osteoid osteoma (n = 6), venous malformation (n = 5), sarcoma (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (n = 4), and non-small-cell lung cancer (n = 3). The most common tumor sites were spine (n = 22) and lower extremities (n = 4). Abnormal TCeMEP change was defined by 100-V increase above baseline threshold activation for a given myotome; abnormal SSEP change was defined by 60% reduction in baseline amplitude and/or 10% increase in latency. RESULTS Abnormal changes in TCeMEP (n = 9; 30%) and/or SSEP (n = 5; 17%) occurred in 12 procedures (40%) and did not recover in 5 patients. Patients with unchanged TCeMEP/SSEP activities throughout the procedure (n = 18) did not have motor or sensory symptoms after the procedure; 3 (60%) with unrecovered activity changes and 2 (29%) with transient activity changes had new motor (n = 1) or sensory (n = 4) symptoms. Relative risk for neurologic sequelae for patients with unrecovered TCeMEP/SSEP changes vs those with transient or no changes was 7.50 (95% confidence interval, 1.66-33.9; P = .009). CONCLUSIONS Abnormal activity changes of TCeMEP or SSEP during percutaneous ablative procedures correlate with postprocedural neurologic sequelae.

Abstract
Metastatic disease involving the pelvis is common, often resulting in significant pain and disability. Several percutaneous interventions for unstable pelvic metastatic disease have been described, including osteoplasty, ablation, and screw fixation, that when used alone or in combination can significantly reduce pain and disability from metastatic bone disease. While it is possible to make a significant impact in patient care with basic principles and techniques, certain advanced techniques can extend the application of percutaneous interventions while minimizing morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The aim of this observational study was to assess safety and clinical outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation (CA) to treat osteoblastomas (OBs) at various osseous sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A retrospective search was performed to identify patients presenting with painful OBs who underwent CA at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg between March 2007 and December 2018. Ten patients (seven men, three women; median age, 21 years old) were identified and included. Medical records were reviewed to assess complications and clinical outcomes. RESULTS. Median OB diameter was 16.5 mm (range, 16-28 mm). OBs were located in the spine (n = 7), calcaneus (n = 1), fibula (n = 1), and third metacarpal bone (n = 1). In 90% of cases (n = 9), one or more critical structures were within 1 cm of the OB (median distance, 5 mm; range, 2-8 mm), thus requiring extensive protective measures. Technical success was achieved in all cases. Two (20%) immediate neural complications were noted. One major complication was consistent with a permanent sensory deficit of the arm. One minor complication was consistent with a transient right Horner syndrome, which completely resolved after 48 hours with high-dose steroids. Median clinical follow-up was 12 months. Primary clinical success was 100% and 78% at 1 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively, with two patients presenting with recurring pain. CONCLUSION. Percutaneous image-guided CA represents an effective therapeutic option for patients affected by painful OBs; the safety profile of the procedure is acceptable as long as comprehensive protective measures are deployed in light of the frequent close proximity of critical structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of thermal ablation for the treatment of subpleural lung cancer. METHODS Eighty-nine patients with 101 subpleural lung cancers were identified between January 2012 and July 2018 in our database and included in this study. Tumors were classified as adhering to cervical, costal, diaphragmatic, and mediastinal pleurae. Lesions were categorized based on their relationship to the pleura: close to the pleura, causing pleural indentation, and involving the pleura. The complete ablation rate, local progression-free survival, complications, and associated factors were analyzed. RESULTS Subpleural lung cancers included lesions located under costal (n = 69), mediastinal (n = 17), cervical (n = 8), and diaphragmatic (n = 7) pleurae. The rate of complete ablation was 87.1% and the local progression-free survival rates at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months were 86%, 77%, 75%, and 64%, respectively. Tumor size was the most important factor influencing technique efficacy (P < 0.05), with a complete ablation rate of only 55.6% in lung cancers measuring > 30 mm. There were nine (10.11%) major complications, including one chest abscess, five cases of pneumothorax, and three cases of hemothorax. The occurrence of major complications was associated with increased levels of pain within 48 hours post-procedure (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Local thermal ablation is a safe and effective treatment for subpleural lung cancers. Tumor size was the most significant factor affecting technique efficacy. Post-procedure pain indicated the possibility of major complications.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous cryoablation has been shown to be effective in the management of painful bone tumors. However, knowledge of the complication rate and risk factors for complication is currently lacking. Purpose To report the complication rate and associated risk factors for bone tumor cryoablation. Materials and Methods This retrospective study reviewed complications in 239 consecutive patients (131 men and 108 women; median age, 64 years; age range, 6-86 years) who underwent cryoablation of 320 primary or metastatic bone tumors between January 2008 and November 2017. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events was used to categorize complications as major (grade 3-4) or minor (grade 1-2). Multivariable analysis was performed for variables with P values less than .20, including age, tumor location, adjacent critical structures, number of cryoprobes, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS). Results Among the 320 tumors, the total complication rate was 9.1% (29 of 320; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6%, 12.2%). The major complication rate was 2.5% (eight of 320; 95% CI: 0.8%, 4.2%), with secondary fracture the most frequent complication (1.2% [four of 320]; mean delay, 71 days); cryoablation site infection, tumor seeding, bleeding, and severe hypotension were each observed in 0.3% (one of 320) of procedures. Minor complications included postprocedural pain (2.2% [seven of 320]), peripheral neuropathy (0.9% [three of 320]), and temporary paresthesia (0.9% [three of 320]). For all complications, associated risk factors included ECOG-PS greater than 2 (odds ratio [OR], 3.1 [95% CI: 3, 7.6]; P = .01), long-bone cryoablation (OR, 17.8 [95% CI: 2.3, 136.3]; P = .01), and use of more than three cryoprobes (OR, 2.5 [95% CI: 1.0, 6.0]; P = .04); for major complications, associated risk factors included age greater than 70 years (OR, 7.1 [95% CI: 1.6, 31.7]; P = .01) and use of more than three cryoprobes (OR, 23.6 [95% CI: 2.8, 199.0]; P = .01). Conclusion Bone tumor cryoablation is safe, with a 2.5% rate of major complications, most commonly secondary fracture (1.2%). Major complications are associated with age greater than 70 years and use of more than three cryoprobes. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Pain is a highly prevalent symptom in patients with cancer. Despite therapeutic advances and well-accepted treatment guidelines, a percentage of patients with pain are under-treated.
Currently, it has been recognized that several barriers in pain management still exist and, in addition, there are new challenges surrounding complex subtypes of pain, such as breakthrough and neuropathic pain, requiring further reviews and recommendations. This is an update of the guide our society previously published and represents the continued commitment of SEOM to move forward and improve supportive care of cancer patients.

Abstract
Understanding and management of vascular anomalies has always been intriguing. These disorders exhibit an expected pattern of clinical presentation and progression, and characteristic imaging findings. Significant progress in understanding and treating patients with vascular anomalies has been made in the past quarter century. Newer multidisciplinary domains for treating these disorders with medical drugs and less invasive image-guided or surgical procedures are constantly evolving. Vascular anomalies can exhibit aggressive tumor-like behavior resulting in recurrence or persistent symptoms after treatment. Thermal ablation has been widely used in tumor treatment. This has generated interest on using thermal ablation for treating vascular anomalies. Percutaneous image-guided cryoablation is increasingly used for this purpose as compared with other ablation technologies. Availability of small caliber cryoprobes and the ability to monitor the freeze zone in real time have made this an attractive option to interventional radiologists. These experiences are relatively new and limited. It is helpful to understand the emerging role of this technology in the treatment of vascular anomalies.

Abstract
Interventional approaches to musculoskeletal tumours have significantly changed over the last several years, and new treatments continue to be developed. All ablative modalities are currently applied to the treatment of bone tumours, including radiofrequency, cryo-, microwave, and laser ablation devices. Indications for ablation of bone and soft-tissue tumours have expanded beyond palliation of painful bone metastases and eradication of osteoid osteomas to the local control of oligometastatic disease from a number of primary tumours and ablation of desmoid tumours. In addition, tools for consolidation of bone tumours at risk of pathological fracture have also expanded. With these developments, ablation has become the primary treatment for osteoid osteomas and, at some institutions, desmoid tumours. It may be the primary or secondary treatment for palliation of painful bone tumours, frequently used in patients with pain refractory to or recurrent after radiation therapy. It is used as a treatment for limited metastatic disease or for metastases that grow disproportionately in patients with multifocal metastases, either in combination with systemic therapy or to reserve systemic therapy and its toxicity for more widespread disease progression. Moreover, percutaneous methods to consolidate bone at risk of fracture have become more commonplace, aided by techniques using materials beyond typical bone cement.

Abstract
The image-guided thermal ablation procedures can be used to treat a variety of benign and malignant spinal tumours. Small size osteoid osteoma can be treated with laser or radiofrequency. Larger tumours (osteoblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst and metastasis) can be addressed with radiofrequency or cryoablation. Results on the literature of spinal microwave ablation are scarce, and thus it should be used with caution. A distinct advantage of cryoablation is the ability to monitor the ice-ball by intermittent CT or MRI. The different thermal insulation, temperature and electrophysiological monitoring techniques should be applied. Cautious pre-procedural planning and intermittent intra-procedural monitoring of the ablation zone can help reduce neural complications. Tumour histology, patient clinical-functional status and life-expectancy should define the most efficient and least disabling treatment option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extraabdominal desmoid (EAD) tumors pose a therapeutic challenge because they often recur locally and behave aggressively. Accepted management options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and observation. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation for the treatment of EAD tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective search of our cryoablation database was performed to identify patients with EAD tumors treated with percutaneous cryoablation between June 15, 2004, and June 15, 2014. During this 10-year time period, we treated 18 patients with 26 discrete tumors during 31 treatment sessions. After cryoablation, contrast-enhanced MRI or CT was performed. Any enhancing soft tissue was considered viable EAD tumor and was measured in three planes. RESULTS Of the 26 EAD tumors treated, follow-up imaging with IV contrast material was available for 23 tumors. The mean imaging follow-up was 16.2 ± 20.0 (SD) months. All 31 sessions were technically successful procedures. No residual viable EAD tumor was observed in nine of 23 tumors (39.1%). Some degree of volume reduction was evident in 22 of 23 tumors (95.7%). Progressive disease was observed in one of the 23 tumors (4.3%). Of the cases with residual or progressive disease, the recurrence occurred at the margin of the treated tumor in all cases. No major complications were observed, and none of the complications was more severe than Clavien-Dindo grade I. CONCLUSION Percutaneous cryoablation is a safe, effective, and repeatable treatment for achieving local control of EAD tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to a more effective systemic therapy the survival of patients suffering from malignant tumors has been significantly improved but a longer life span is often associated with a higher incidence of osseous metastases. The majority of these metastases are localized in the spine causing pain, instability and neurological impairments. The interdisciplinary management of spinal metastases previously consisted of stabilization followed by fractionated external body radiation therapy. A reduction in procedural severity and morbidity as well as consideration of self-sufficiency and hospitalization time are important target parameters for these palliative patients. METHOD AND RESULTS Kyphoplasty combined with intraoperative radiotherapy (Kypho-IORT) is one of several modern treatment options, which involves a minimally invasive procedure with local high-dose transpedicular irradiation of the spine with low-energy (50 kV) X-rays. Immediately following irradiation, stabilization of the spine is carried out using kyphoplasty via the same access route so that a single stage procedure with excellent pain reduction and good local tumor control can be achieved. This article presents clinical data for this procedure and the different fields of indications are critically reviewed and compared to other therapy options. Methodological improvements and options for further individualization of therapy are demonstrated. CONCLUSION The Kypho-IORT procedure is a safe, feasible and beneficial modern treatment option for instant stabilization and local tumor control in patients with spinal metastases. More than 100 operations have been successfully performed so that the method can be deemed suitable for inclusion in the clinical routine. A phase II dose escalation study has now been completed and submitted for publication and a 2-arm non-inferiority trial (phase III study) for comparison with conventional irradiation is in progress.

Abstract
A giant cell tumor (GCT) is an intermediate grade, locally aggressive neoplasia. Despite advances in surgical and clinical treatments, cases located on the spine and pelvic bones remain a significant challenge. Failure of clinical treatment with denosumab and patient refusal of surgical procedures (hemipelvectomy) led to the use of cryoablation. We report the use of percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation as an alternative treatment, shown to be a minimally invasive, safe, and effective option for a GCT with extensive involvement of the pelvic bones and allowed structural and functional preservation of the involved bones.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility, safety, and early effectiveness of percutaneous image-guided ablation as second-line treatment for symptomatic soft-tissue vascular anomalies (VA). MATERIALS AND METHODS An IRB-approved retrospective review was undertaken of all patients who underwent percutaneous image-guided ablation as second-line therapy for treatment of symptomatic soft-tissue VA during the period from 1/1/2008 to 5/20/2014. US/CT- or MRI-guided and monitored cryoablation or MRI-guided and monitored laser ablation was performed. Clinical follow-up began at one-month post-ablation. RESULTS Eight patients with nine torso or lower extremity VA were treated with US/CT (N = 4) or MRI-guided (N = 2) cryoablation or MRI-guided laser ablation (N = 5) for moderate to severe pain (N = 7) or diffuse bleeding secondary to hemangioma-thrombocytopenia syndrome (N = 1). The median maximal diameter was 9.0 cm (6.5-11.1 cm) and 2.5 cm (2.3-5.3 cm) for VA undergoing cryoablation and laser ablation, respectively. Seven VA were ablated in one session, one VA initially treated with MRI-guided cryoablation for severe pain was re-treated with MRI-guided laser ablation due to persistent moderate pain, and one VA was treated in a planned two-stage session due to large VA size. At an average follow-up of 19.8 months (range 2-62 months), 7 of 7 patients with painful VA reported symptomatic pain relief. There was no recurrence of bleeding at five-year post-ablation in the patient with hemangioma-thrombocytopenia syndrome. There were two minor complications and no major complications. CONCLUSION Image-guided percutaneous ablation is a feasible, safe, and effective second-line treatment option for symptomatic VA.

Abstract
Image-guided tumor ablation has become a well-established hallmark of local cancer therapy. The breadth of options available in this growing field increases the need for standardization of terminology and reporting criteria to facilitate effective communication of ideas and appropriate comparison among treatments that use different technologies, such as chemical (eg, ethanol or acetic acid) ablation, thermal therapies (eg, radiofrequency, laser, microwave, focused ultrasound, and cryoablation) and newer ablative modalities such as irreversible electroporation. This updated consensus document provides a framework that will facilitate the clearest communication among investigators regarding ablative technologies. An appropriate vehicle is proposed for reporting the various aspects of image-guided ablation therapy including classification of therapies, procedure terms, descriptors of imaging guidance, and terminology for imaging and pathologic findings. Methods are addressed for standardizing reporting of technique, follow-up, complications, and clinical results. As noted in the original document from 2003, adherence to the recommendations will improve the precision of communications in this field, leading to more accurate comparison of technologies and results, and ultimately to improved patient outcomes.

Cryoablation of sternal metastases for pain palliation and local tumor control. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2014; 25:1665-70. [PMID: 25255705 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2014.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2014] [Revised: 07/22/2014] [Accepted: 08/09/2014] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine safety and effectiveness of cryoablation of sternal metastases for pain palliation and local tumor control. MATERIALS AND METHODS A tumor ablation database was retrospectively reviewed for sternal cryoablation procedures performed between January 2005 and June 2013, which yielded 15 procedures to treat 12 sternal metastases in 12 patients (five men). Median patient age was 57 years (range, 38-80 y). Metastases arose from five primary sites (breast, lung, kidney, ampulla, and thyroid), and median tumor size was 3.8 cm (range, 2.2-7.5 cm). Seven patients (58%) underwent cryoablation for pain palliation, and five (42%) underwent cryoablation for local tumor control of oligometastatic disease. Clinical outcomes (including complications, local tumor control, and pain response) were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS Mean pain scores decreased from 7.0 ± 1.9 (median, 7; range, 4-10) at baseline to 1.8 ± 1.2 (median, 1.5; range, 0-4) following cryoablation (P = .00049). Two patients had durable pain palliation, and four had greater than 1 month of pain relief, with a median duration of 5.7 months (range, 1.5-14.7 mo). Two patients in whom recurrent pain developed underwent repeat cryoablation, with durable pain relief. Allowing for a single repeat treatment, local tumor control was achieved in four of five patients (80%) treated for this indication, with median follow-up of 8.4 months (range, 2.6-13.6 mo). In one patient (8%), an infectious complication developed that was successfully treated with antibiotics on an outpatient basis. CONCLUSIONS Cryoablation is a safe and potentially effective treatment for patients with painful sternal metastases and can achieve local tumor control in select patients.

Abstract
Although percutaneous ablation of small renal masses is generally safe, interventional radiologists should be aware of the various complications that may arise from the procedure. Renal hemorrhage is the most common significant complication. Additional less common but serious complications include injury to or stenosis of the ureter or ureteropelvic junction, infection/abscess, sensory or motor nerve injury, pneumothorax, needle tract seeding, and skin burn. Most complications may be treated conservatively or with minimal therapy. Several techniques are available to minimize the risk of these complications, and patients should be appropriately monitored for early detection of complications. In the event of a serious complication, prompt treatment should be provided. This article reviews the most common and most important complications associated with percutaneous ablation of small renal masses.
