The number of small ( Goals of therapy include cure of disease, decreased tumor burden, palliation of symptoms, and increased time to disease progression. Common side effects and possible complications include pain, bleeding, infection, thermal skin injury, and hypothermia. Clinical management of these patients is complex and requires collaboration between the patient's primary care provider, diagnostic radiology, anesthesia, the admitting hospital service, and nursing staff.
