Résumé

Bone invasion by metastatic tumours is the most common cause of pain in cancer patients. The management of cancer pain, pain that often reveals the disease and is always present at advanced stages, is an important and difficult task. High doses of specific medications, chemotherapy and radiation therapy do not always succeed in effectively controlling pain. When these treatments do not provide adequate relief, neurolysis, infiltration, alcoholization, percutaneous vertebroplasty, cementoplasty, and radiofrequency ablation are elegant and efficient complementary alternative pain management methods. The authors helped to develop these new techniques, which rely on CT guidance, and offer their expertise in how to apply them.
