Educational review for development of a musculoskeletal oncology clinical service involving a multidisciplinary approach to management of adult and pediatric bone and soft-tissue tumors. In this exhibit we review a spectrum of Interventional procedures in the diagnosis, management and treatment in musculoskeletal oncology. 

A. Review of imaging anatomy and pathology of bone and soft tissue tumors. B. Interventional Procedures   1. Biopsies.   2. Ablations       -Radiofrequency       -Cryoablation       - Microwave    3. Embolization D. Musculoskeletal oncology clinical service and multidisciplinary conference and clinic.

There are a vast number of procedures in musculoskeletal oncology including CT, US and MR guided percutaneous procedures from radiofrequency ablations to biopsies. Additionally endovascular procedures can utilize cone beam CT techniques along with digital subtraction angiography to analyze vascularity and perform embolizations for pre-surgical devascularization or targeted chemoembolization. Furthermore endovascular and percutaneous procedures can be performed for palliative or pain management consideration. In this exhibit we review several interventional procedures in musculoskeletal oncology while providing framework for developing a clinical service with mutidisciplinary conference and clinic.
