Metastases from renal cell carcinoma to the humerus or the shoulder girdle

Abstract: Owing to the relatively long survival time, especially in patients with limited tumour burden elsewhere and who are in a good general state of health, long-lasting palliative treatment of the humeral or scapular metastases is aimed for. Renal cell carcinoma tends to be resistant to radiotherapy, and early treatment, combining orthopaedic surgery and high-dose radiotherapy, is advocated.

“…In concordance with literature (20,10,8) and almost identical with the data presented by Erlemann and colleagues (6) was the age of the patients. Benign tumours and tumour -like lesions were encountered mostly at a younger age -predominantly in the first 3 decades (with the leading osteochondromas), as opposed to malignant tumours, which revealed slight predominance for the 4th and 7th decades ( Fig.…”

“…Cryoablation was performed using the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System (Galil Medical; Arden Hills, Minnesota) for 16 tumours (27%, 16/59). The median number of cryoprobes used to treat a single tumour was 5 (range, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. When multiple cryoprobes were needed to produce a contiguous ice ball that encompassed the planned treatment volume, an inter-probe distance of 10-15 mm was implemented.…”

“…7 Moreover, palliative surgical treatment may require both general anaesthesia and long-term rehabilitation and is associated with dismal prognosis in this patient population. 8,9 Minimally invasive percutaneous thermal ablation has been recently described for management of osseous metastases in cohorts consisting of heterogeneous tumour histologies to achieve both pain palliation [10][11][12] and radiographic local tumour control. [13][14][15] The purpose of this study is to systematically and specifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous thermal ablation alone or in combination with cementoplasty for pain palliation and local tumour control of RCC osseous metastases.…”

“…Die Prognose ist beim metastasierten Nieren-Zell-Karzinom wegen des schlechten Ansprechens auf eine Strahlen-und/oder Chemotherapie schlecht [9,10]: Im Fall der Metastasierung werden Überlebensraten von 12-22 Monaten [6,11] und 1und 5-Jahres-Überlebensraten zwischen 41-49 % bzw. 14-15 % [12 -14] nach chirurgischen und nicht operativen Therapien angegeben.…”
