International consensus on use of focused ultrasound for painful bone metastases: Current status and future directions INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYPERTHERMIA Huisman, M., Ter Haar, G., Napoli, A., Hananel, A., Ghanouni, P., Loevey, G., Nijenhuis, R. J., Van den Bosch, M. A., Rieke, V., Majumdar, S., Marchetti, L., Pfeffer, R. M., Hurwitz, M. D. 2015; 31 (3): 251-259Abstract
Focused ultrasound surgery (FUS), in particular magnetic resonance guided FUS (MRgFUS), is an emerging non-invasive thermal treatment modality in oncology that has recently proven to be effective for the palliation of metastatic bone pain. A consensus panel of internationally recognised experts in focused ultrasound critically reviewed all available data and developed consensus statements to increase awareness, accelerate the development, acceptance and adoption of FUS as a treatment for painful bone metastases and provide guidance towards broader application in oncology. In this review, evidence-based consensus statements are provided for (1) current treatment goals, (2) current indications, (3) technical considerations, (4) future directions including ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ priorities, and (5) economic and logistical considerations.
