title: Embolization of musculoskeletal tumors.
abstract: Transarterial embolization should be considered in the treatment algorithm of primary or secondary bone tumors. Specific benefit is present where there is a high risk of bleeding at surgery, where there is spinal involvement and neural encroachment, where active bleeding is present, or in awkward surgical locations where prolonged surgery is anticipated.
