Transarterial Embolization and Percutaneous Ablation of Primary and Metastatic Soft Tissue Tumors

Soft tissue tumors (STTs) include a range of benign and malignant originating from soft tissues. Transarterial percutaneous therapies are image-guided minimally invasive approaches for managing primary metastatic STTs. The objective this review is to discuss transarterial by examining the current literature, including indications, patient selection, safety, effectiveness. (e.g., bland embolization chemoembolization) involve delivery either embolic or chemotherapeutic particles using catheter into arteries feeding tumor, resulting in localized tumor destruction. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, irreversible electroporation, laser magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound) hot cold temperatures, electrical current, laser, ultrasound specifically target cells. Both have been shown be safe effective reducing morbidity local control STTs, patients who surgically inoperable unresponsive conventional therapies. Accurate diagnosis, staging, histological subtype identification crucial treatment selection. A multidisciplinary approach, thorough understanding anatomy surrounding structures, as well individualized strategies based on assessment essential optimal care.
