High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Treatment of Bone Malignancies—20 Years of History

Abstract: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the only non-invasive method for percutaneous thermal ablation of tissue, with treatments typically performed either under magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound guidance. Since this method allows efficient heating of bony structures, it has found not only early use in treatment of bone pain, but also in local treatment of malignant bone tumors. This review of 20 years of published studies shows that HIFU is a very efficient method for rapid pain relief, can provid… Show more

“…The initial success of ultrasound in any disease management process was the non-invasiveness and better spatiotemporal resolution with deeper tissue penetration compared to other imaging or therapeutic technologies [ 69 ]. In the case of pain management due to cancer or any other ailments, the influence of ultrasound was significant and is considered the better alternative to analgesic medications, behavioral treatments, or other types of physical neurostimulation (magnetic or electrical) [ 8 ]. Based on our bibliometric analyses, the future of cancer management depends on ultrasound and its developments.…”

“…HIFU was utilized in several clinical studies involving the management of various complications during tumor/metastases conditions. The major success of HIFU was observed in the management of bone metastasis-induced pain by neuromodulation at the PNS level [ 7 , 8 ]. Reduction of pain sensation was reported after 3–14 days, and pain medication can be discontinued after the relief.…”
