The management of cancer-related pain is still problematic worldwide with 40 to 50% of patients still being undertreated. A significant proportion of cancer patients will require discontinuation of traditional analgesic treatments such as opioids due to unsuccessful pain relief or severe unmanageable toxicity and may, therefore, benefit from alternative treatments. Over the last few decades, several interventional radiology (IR) minimally invasive treatment options have been introduced into the cancer pain management toolbox and can be proposed to cancer patients.

It assists in reducing thrombus progression and the occurrence of PE, but incomplete DVT resolution increases the risk of recurrent VTE, valvular insufficiency, and PTS.
