Cryoablation safe, effective in treating soft-tissue sarcoma
By Amerigo Allegretto
Percutaneous cryoablation is safe and effective for patients with recurrent or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma after earlier treatments.
August 1, 2024
(A) Axial noncontrast CT chest image shows soft tissue mass in the anterior chest wall (arrow). The lesion was treated by percutaneous cryoablation. (B) Intraprocedural axial CT image obtained during cryoablation. The pink outline represents the target lesion and the blue outline represents ice ball. Based on review, the procedure was classified as achieving adequate ablation. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced CT chest image, obtained three months after ablation (patient’s first follow-up exam), shows involution of the target lesion without evidence of residue.
