Mayo Clinic-led Research Study Finds Image-Guided Cryoablation Useful for Painful Metastatic Bone Disease

During a recent multicenter trial led by Mayo Clinic, 62 adults with painful bone metastases were treated with CT guided and monitored cryoablation, a treatment technique pioneered at Mayo Clinic. These patients were treated at eight medical facilities across the United States using one or more cryoprobes under general anesthesia. Results from the trial were presented Nov. 30 at the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) annual conference in Chicago.  Read news release.
