Percutaneous thermal ablation of lung metastases from thyroid carcinomas. A retrospective multicenter study of 107 nodules. On behalf of the TUTHYREF network.

Purpose: To determine efficacy and safety of thermal ablation (TA) for the local treatment of lung metastases of thyroid cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 47 patients from 10 centers treated by TA (radiofrequency, microwaves, and cryoablation) over 10 years. The endpoints were overall survival (OS), local efficacy, complications (CTCAE classification), and factors associated with survival.

Cryoneurolysis in Patients with Dorsal Neuropathic Pain Secondary to Tumor Invasion.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoneurolysis (CNL) in patients with refractory thoracic neuropathic pain related to tumor invasion.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2013 and May 2017, this single-center and retrospective study reviewed 27 computed tomography-guided CNLs performed on 26 patients for refractory thoracic neuropathic pain related to tumor invasion. Patients with cognitive impairment were excluded.

Percutaneous Cryoablation of Symptomatic Intramuscular Venous Malformation.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation for venous malformations.

Materials And Methods: A total of 12 patients with symptomatic intramuscular venous malformations who underwent percutaneous cryoablation between February 2015 and December 2018 were retrospectively studied. The mean age was 42 y (range, 19-58 y).

Local Control and Analgesic Efficacy of Percutaneous Cryoablation for Desmoid Tumors.

Objective: Cryoablation is being more and more often used to treat desmoid tumors. We report our experience of cryoablation as a local and analgesic treatment for inoperable or recurring desmoid tumors.

Methods: This study includes 34 patients who underwent percutaneous cryoablation of 41 desmoid tumors between July 2012 and September 2016.

Musculoskeletal Metastases Management: The Interventional Radiologist's Toolbox.

The prevalence of patients with painful bone metastases is constantly increasing. This is related to the rising incidence of cancer and increasing life expectancy of patients with metastatic stage. Advances in imaging and development of percutaneous techniques have gradually allowed offering minimally invasive acts on these metastases: cementing, vertebral augmentation, osteosynthesis, percutaneous thermal ablation, neurolysis, embolization.
