Thermal ablation: an alternative to bone cancer
Keywords:
bone tumor, thermotherapy, thermal ablation, bone metastasis, modelingAbstract
The present work is a bibliographic review about the most
common therapies to treat bone tumors (surgery, radiotherapy and chem-
otherapy). An analysis of the most important advantages, disadvantage,
side effects and costs of each therapy was done. On the other hand, an
exhausted research of the new treatment techniques called thermothera-
pies (ablation specifically) is presented. The main goal is to define, taking
into account its characteristics, if thermal ablation can be considered as a
new alternative to treat bone tumor, and even if it can be a better option
than the conventional therapies. Some clinical studies and modelling
analysis have shown good results in the treatment of bone tumors with
thermal ablation (tumor temperatures above 70°C). According to some
studies, thermal ablation is very useful in bone metastasis, due to the pain
reduction in the patients. Finally, a simple model of a MW antenna for
thermal ablation is presented in order to show its interaction with bone
tissue.
