Advanced diffusion techniques, including intravoxel incoherent motion, diffusion kurtosis, diffusion tensor imaging, and specific implementations such as restriction spectrum imaging, purport even better discrimination, but are more technically challenging. The inherent T1 and T2 of tissue also provide diagnostic value, with more advanced techniques deriving luminal water imaging and hybrid-multidimensional MRI. Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, primarily using a modified Tofts model, also shows independent discriminatory value.

Percutaneous cryoablation may provide a complementary minimally invasive option in this setting. <b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article was to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation performed for local control of treatment-refractory recurrent or metastatic STS. <b>METHODS.</b> This single-institution retrospective study included adult patients who underwent percutaneous cryoablation from January 2016 to April 2023 to achieve local control of recurrent or metastatic STS after earlier treatment (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy). For each treated lesion, a single interventional radiologist rereviewed intraprocedural images to assess for adequate coverage by the ice ball of the entire lesion and a 5-mm or greater margin in all dimensions. Complications and outcomes were extracted from medical records. The primary end point for procedure efficacy was 1-year local progression-free survival. <b>RESULTS.</b> The study included 141 patients (median age, 66 years; 90 women, 51 men) who underwent 217 cryoablation procedures to treat 250 recurrent or metastatic STS lesions. The most common STS histologic types were leiomyosarcoma (56/141) and liposarcoma (39/141). Lesions had a mean long-axis diameter of 2.0 cm (range, 0.4-11.0 cm). Adequate ice-ball coverage was achieved for 82% (204/250) of lesions. The complication rate was 2% (4/217), including three major complications and one minor complication. Patients' median postablation follow-up was 25 months (range, 3-80 months). Local progression-free survival rate was 86% at 1 year and 80% at 2 years. The chemotherapy-free survival rate was 45% at 1 year and 31% at 2 years. The overall survival (OS) rate was 89% at 1 year and 80% at 2 years. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, leiomyosarcoma, in comparison with liposarcoma, had significantly higher local progression-free survival but no significant difference in OS. In multivariable analysis, factors independently associated with an increased risk for local progression included inadequate ice-ball coverage (HR = 7.34) and a lesion location of peritoneum (HR = 3.63) or retroperitoneum (HR = 3.71) relative to lung. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Percutaneous cryoablation has a favorable safety and efficacy profile in patients with recurrent or metastatic STS after earlier treatments. <b>CLINICAL IMPACT.</b> Percutaneous cryoablation should be considered for local control of treatment-refractory STS.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141857258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
