Minimally-invasive vertebral body cement augmentation methods, notably percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PKP), are now well established as surgical modalities for treating persistent and/or severe pain arising from osteoporosis-induced verteb...
Background: Among emerging modalities for the treatment of bone cancers is magnetic hyperthermia treatment (MHT), which, it has been envisaged, will be used as an adjuvant to either of the two well-established ones (surgery and radiotherapy). MHT involves intratumoral or systemic...
