Résumé
Several interventional radiology procedures are available for the management of cancer pain. In this article, we will briefly review the different procedures and their value in the setting of cancer pain management under two main categories: indirect action (regional anesthesia from neurolysis) and direct action on the tumor. Percutaneous ablation of bone tumors: alcohol, laser, radiofrequency, microwaves, ultrasound, and cryoablation. Several indications have previously been validated, including thermal ablation of bone metastases with results superior to conventional therapies. Additional applications should be validated over the next few years.
