Percutaneous Cryoablation for Sternal Bone Metastases: A Retrospective Study

Key Points

• Cryoablation significantly improves pain relief in patients with sternal metastases, leading to better quality of life.
• Patients experienced a notable reduction in pain, with many reporting a decrease in symptoms following treatment.
• Retrospective analysis evaluated the outcomes of cryoablation for sternal bone metastases over a defined period.
• Findings indicate cryoablation may offer an effective intervention, though external validation is needed for broader application.
