BackgroundTo evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of bone metastases. MethodsA single-center prospective study was made involving 17 consecutive patients with symptomatic bone metastases. Patients were treated by Focused Ultrasound (FUs) performed with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance. Surgical treatment or radiotherapy treatment was not indicated for patients who underwent FUs. Lesions were located in the appendicular and axial skeleton and consisted of secondary symptomatic lesions. The clinical course of pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before treatment, at 1 week, and at 1 month after treatment and the Oral Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose (OMEDD) was also recorded. We used Wilcoxon signed rank test to assess change in patient pain (R CRAN software V 3.1.1).ResultsWe observed a significant decrease in the pain felt by patients between pre- procedure and 1 week post-procedure (p=2.9.10-4), and pre-procedure and 1 month post-procedure (p=3.10-4). The proportion of responders according to the International Bone Metastases Consensus Working Party was: Partial Response 50% (8/16) and Complete Response 37.5% (6/16).ConclusionsHIFU under MR-guidance seems to be an effective and safe procedure in the treatment of symptomatic bone lesions for patients suffering from metastatic disease. A significant decrease of patient pain was observed.Trial registrationNCT01091883. Registered 24 March 2010. Level of evidence: Level 3.
