title: Percutaneous treatment of a sacral metastasis with combined embolization, cryoablation, alcohol ablation and sacroplasty for local tumor and pain control.
abstract: Multiple treatment options have been introduced for the treatment of sacral tumoral bone pain. These options include pre-operative sacral embolization, percutaneous cryoablation, alcohol ablation, and sacroplasty. We intend to show that in the correct clinical scenario, a combination of the four procedures performed as a two-stage process can effectively treat tumoral bone pain refractory to medical therapy.
