Abstract

Percutaneous ablation has become a mainstay of oncologic treatment within numerous organ systems, including the respiratory, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal systems. Utilizing a variety of ablation modalities, such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation, interventional radiologists can achieve excellent oncologic results for select patients with primary or metastatic disease. Patient selection, procedural planning, and disease surveillance are crucial to success. Technology continues to rapidly progress from its initial usage in the early 1990s to today with markedly improved results and fewer complications. Data supports the use of percutaneous lung ablation for the significant population of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who are not surgical candidates. Small renal cell carcinomas are frequently being treated using percutaneous ablation with outcomes approaching that of partial nephrectomy. Ablation has become the primary treatment modality for osteoid osteomas. Pain palliation can be effectively achieved through ablation in patients with osseous metastatic disease. As a minimally invasive approach with a low major complication profile, percutaneous ablation utilization is increasing and is now an invaluable tool for the interventional oncologist.
