RF ablation reduces pain in bone cancer patients
Image-guided radiofrequency ablation significantly reduces the level of pain experienced by cancer patients with bone meta-stases, limiting the need for strong narcotic pain management, and supporting improved patient frame of mind, according to a study published in the journal Cancer.
Image-guided radiofrequency ablation significantly reduces the level of pain experienced by cancer patients with bone meta-stases, limiting the need for strong narcotic pain management, and supporting improved patient frame of mind, according to a study published in the journal Cancer.
In the American College of Radiology Imaging Network study the researchers examined 55 patients who had a single painful bone metastasis. Each received CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of the tumor. Patients experienced statistically significant pain reduction at one- and three-month follow-up for all pain assessment measurements including pain relief, intensity, and severity (Cancer 2009 Dec 29.

New CT Angiography Study Shows Impact of COVID-19 on Coronary Inflammation and Plaque
February 5th 2025Prior COVID-19 infection was associated with a 28 percent higher progression of total percent atheroma volume (PAV) annually and over a 5 percent higher incidence of high-risk plaque in patients with coronary artery lesions, according to CCTA findings from a new study.
