Bone is among the most common metastasis sites in patients with advanced cancer. Approximately two-thirds of bone metastasis results in pain, the majority of which is moderate to unbearable pain, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. With the development of ablation techniques, microwave ablation (MWA) has great potential to eliminate the pain caused by bone metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of image-guided (computed tomography-guided) percutaneous MWA for metastatic osseous pain.
