Percutaneous extra-spinal cementoplasty in patients with cancer: A systematic review of procedural details and clinical outcomes
Résumé
Purpose: To perform a systematic review of technical details and clinical outcomes of percutaneous extra-spinal cementoplasty in patients with malignant lesions.
Materials and methods PUBMED, MEDLINE, MEDLINE in-process, EMBASE and the Cochrane databases were searched between January 1990 and February 2019 using the keywords «percutaneous cementoplasty», «percutaneous osteoplasty» and «extra-spinal cementoplasty». Inclusion criteria were: retrospective/prospective cohort with more than 4 patients, published in English language, reporting the use of percutaneous injection of cement inside an extra-spinal bone malignant tumour using a dedicated bone trocar, as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with another percutaneous intervention, in order to provide pain palliation and/or bone consolidation.
Results Thirty articles involving 652 patients with a total of 761 lesions were reviewed. Mean size of lesion was 45 mm (range of mean size among publications: 29–73 mm); 489 lesions were located in the pelvis, 262 in the long bones of the limbs and 10 in other locations. Cementoplasty was reported as a stand-alone procedure for 60.1% of lesions, and combined with thermal ablation for 26.2% of lesions, implant devices for 12.3% of lesions, and balloon kyphoplasty for 1.4% of lesions. The mean volume of injected cement was 8.8 mL (range of mean volume among publications: 2.7–32.2 mL). The preoperative visual analogic scores ranged between 3.2 and 9.5. Postoperative scores at last available follow-up ranged from 0.4 to 5.6. Thirteen papers reported a reduction of the visual analogic scores of 5 points or more. Nerve injury was the most frequent symptomatic leakage (0.6%).
Conclusion Percutaneous extra-spinal cementopasty is predominantly performed as a stand-alone procedure and for lesions in the bony pelvis. It appears to be an effective tool to manage pain associated with malignant bone tumours. There is however a lack of standardization of the technique among the different publications.
