title: Sacrum colon-rectal cancer metastasis: microwave ablation for palliative pain treatment.
abstract: Local treatment of bone metastasis (BM) remains controversial in colon-rectum carcinoma for pain control. A patient developed a sacrum BM 4years after a left colectomy for an adenocarcinoma. Metastasis was treated in one session of CT-guided microwave ablation showing good pain control immediately after and on follow-up at four months.
