Abstract

Ablative treatment of metastatic bone tumors and relief of pain associated with metastatic bone tumors is achieved by heat ablation of the bone tumor or tissue near the bone tumor by an ablation probe. In one form the probe is an electrode coupled to a high frequency power supply to provide ablative heating of tissue proximate to an electrode that is placed in or near the bone tumor. Cooling of the electrode by fluid circulation from a cooling apparatus outside the patient's body may be used to enlarge the region of high frequency heating around the electrode.
Image guidance of the electrode placement may be monitored by an imaging device. Tracking of the electrode by an image-guided navigator helps in placement of the electrode with respect to the configuration of the bone and bone metastasis. A set of tools accommodates biopsy and various shapes of electrodes according to clinical requirements. Several forms of electrodes, energy delivery and cooling apparatus and methods accommodate the specific objectives.

Claims (7)

1. A system for treating a cancerous bone tumor or pain associated with a cancerous bone tumor in the body of a patient, comprising:
a cannula adapted to be inserted into the cancerous bone tumor;
a probe adapted to be passed through the cannula into the cancerous bone tumor or tissue nearby to the cancerous bone tumor, the probe adapted to be connected to an external.
apparatus external to the body of the patient which can deliver power through the probe to heat at least a portion of the cancerous bone tumor; and a connection from the probe to the external apparatus to deliver the power from the external apparatus through the probe.
2. The system of Claim 1 wherein the cannula comprises a tubing and a stylet with a pointed distal tip for insertion into the cancerous bone tumor, wherein the probe is a high frequency electrode adapted to be inserted into the tubing when the stylet is removed, the high frequency electrode having an exposed conductive tip that can emerge from a distal end opening of the tubing to be located near to the cancerous bone tumor, wherein the external apparatus is a high frequency generator that supplies high frequency output through the exposed conductive tip via the connection to produce heating of at least a portion of the cancerous bone tumor or tissue near the cancerous bone tumor.
3. The system of Claim 2 and further including a biopsy device adapted to be passed through the tubing when the stylet is removed so that a biopsy of the cancerous bone tumor can be taken prior to insertion of the high frequency electrode in the tubing.
4. The system of Claim 1 wherein the probe comprises a resistive heating element and the external apparatus comprises a power source to supply current to the resistive heating element through the connection.
5. The system of Claim 2 wherein the exposed conductive tip comprises a straight portion that emerges from the distal end opening of the tubing in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the tubing.
6. The system of Claim 2 wherein the exposed conductive tip comprises a curvable portion that is adapted to emerge from the distal end opening of the tubing along a curved path.
7. The system of Claim 2 wherein the external apparatus comprises a cooling system with a cooling connection to the high frequency electrode for delivery of cooling fluid to the high frequency electrode, the high frequency electrode comprising an internal channel for the cooling fluid so that at least a portion of the exposed conductive tip can be cooled by the cooling fluid delivered by the cooling system with resultant cooling of tissue near the exposed conductive tip while the high frequency output is heating the at least a portion of the cancerous bone tumor or tissue near the cancerous bone tumor.
