Abstract
Bone metastases occur in about 40% of all patients with cancer. This substantial proportion reflects the significant challenge faced by patients and clinicians as well as the need for treatment advancements, particularly since life expectancy has increased due to the introduction of precision medicine. The primary goal of treatment of these patients is to alleviate symptoms while the secondary goal is to maintain or restore patient function. As patients often experience pain with conservative management of this condition, which impacts quality of life and can lead to reduced mobility, depression, and anxiety, interventional radiologists (IRs) have recently been successfully integrated into the standard treatment team alongside surgeons and radiation oncologists.
