Abstract

This article aims to disclose a consensus on the rationale, approaches, and the outcomes of bone ablations in the peripheral skeleton. Despite less numerous prospective studies about peripheral metastasis, interventional radiology has a role in this setting. Scrupulous attention for selection criteria, ablation technique, procedural steps, and clinical and imaging follow-up are required to provide optimal multidisciplinary care for oncologic patients.

Keywords: ablation; bone; cancer; outcomes; pain.
