American Roentgen Ray Society Minimally Invasive Musculoskeletal Interventional Oncology Masterclass Bone Metastases and Benign Bone Tumors 2025

November 3, 2025
This Online Course provides a comprehensive review of the role of minimally invasive percutaneous interventions and the most recent advances in thermal ablation modalities, thermal protection approaches, vertebral augmentation/cementation techniques, osteosynthesis, and palliative injections for management of musculoskeletal metastases and benign bone tumors in the axial and appendicular skeleton incorporating clinical decision-making strategies and using illustrative cases. Lectures are designed to enhance and optimize patient care focusing on multi-disciplinary approach and patient selection strategies while offering an array of therapeutic armamentarium for practicing radiologists and trainees of all levels.
Learning Outcomes and Modules
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:

Identify pathology that is appropriate for thermal ablation.
Differentiate between available thermal ablation modalities.
Demonstrate appropriate techniques that achieve safe, effective margins.

The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) – Minimally Invasive Musculoskeletal Interventional Oncology Masterclass: Bone Metastases and Benign Bone Tumors 2025 is best for radiologists, interventional oncologists, orthopedic oncologists, and trainees who want to master image‑guided, minimally invasive techniques for managing bone tumors and metastases. It emphasizes cutting‑edge interventional oncology approaches, diagnostic precision, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Who Should Attend

Interventional radiologists performing minimally invasive procedures for bone tumors and metastases.
Musculoskeletal radiologists specializing in advanced imaging and intervention.
Orthopedic oncologists & surgeons collaborating with imaging for tumor management.
Medical oncologists integrating interventional oncology into cancer care.
Residents & fellows in radiology or oncology seeking advanced training in musculoskeletal interventional techniques.

What You’ll Learn

Image‑guided interventions: radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, cementoplasty, and embolization.
Bone metastases management: pain palliation, stabilization, and local tumor control.
Benign bone tumors: minimally invasive treatment strategies for osteoid osteoma and other lesions.
Multimodality imaging: MRI, CT, and PET for diagnosis and procedural guidance.
Clinical correlation: integrating interventional oncology with surgical and systemic therapies.
Case‑based instruction: real examples of minimally invasive musculoskeletal oncology procedures.
