Abstract
With the advancement of oncologic treatments, advanced cancer patients with bone involvement survive longer. Cancer involving weight-bearing bones of pelvic girdle results in mechanical pain that interferes with ambulation, deteriorates quality of life, and causes serious complications that may accelerate their demise. Among common treatments for bone metastases, radiation therapy does not reinforce bone and surgical fixation is often complex with high risks of complications and may not be possible due to comorbidities in this patient population. Image guided percutaneous stabilization techniques have been proven as viable options in this setting.
期刊介绍：
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
