Progress of percutaneous cementoplasty for bone metastases / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Percutaneous cementoplasty has been widely used to treat bone metastases in clinic, with the main purpose of relieve pain and other symptoms. However, in addition to routine complications, there were still some other problems, such as local insufficient antitumor effect and even promoting tumor progress. Combining with physical ablation, arterial embolism, metal implantation, radiotherapy or other means may be helpful to improve the curative effect of percutaneous cementoplasty. The present situation, existing problems and combined application of bone cement in treatment of bone metastases were reviewed in this article.
