Musculoskeletal interventional oncology is an emerging field that addresses the limitations of conventional therapies for bone and soft-tissue tumors. The field's growth has been driven by evolving treatment paradigms, expanding society guidelines, mounting supportive literature, technologic advances, and cross-specialty collaboration with medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. Safe, effective, and durable pain palliation, local control, and stabilization of musculoskeletal tumors are increasingly achieved through an expanding array of contemporary minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided treatments, including ablation, osteoplasty, vertebral augmentation (with or without mechanical reinforcement via implants), osseous consolidation via percutaneous screw fixation (with or without osteoplasty), tumor embolization, and neurolysis. These interventions may be used for curative or palliative indications and can be readily combined with systemic therapies. Therapeutic approaches include the combination of different interventional oncology techniques as well as the sequential application of such techniques with other local treatments, including surgery or radiation. This article reviews the current practice of interventional oncology treatments for the management of patients with bone and soft-tissue tumors with a focus on emerging technologies and techniques.
