Image‐guided percutaneous cryoablation of unresectable sacrococcygeal chordoma: Feasibility and outcome in a selected group of patients with long term follow‐up
Abstract:BackgroundChordoma is a rare malignant tumor of the axial skeleton. Percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) is a minimally invasive technique that allows freezing of tumors under imaging control. The purpose of our retrospective study was to investigate the outcome of PCA in a selected cohort of patients with sacrococcygeal chordoma, with a minimum of 5 years follow‐up.Materials and MethodsFour patients were treated in 10 sessions. The mean follow‐up was 57.3 months. We evaluated the feasibility, the procedure‐related… Show more
