Minimally Invasive Surgery (Jan 2014)
Minimally Invasive Local Treatments for Bone and Pulmonary Metastases
Abstract
Surgery and chemotherapy have historically been the mainstay of treatment in patients with metastatic disease. However there are many alternative therapies available to relieve the symptoms and morbidity of metastases. In this paper, we review the role and highlight the advantages of minimally invasive techniques employed in patients with pulmonary and bone metastases.
