SIO NCCN Submission
The Society of Interventional Oncology submitted updates to the NCCN Guidelines of Adult Cancer Pain. Submitted by Resten Imaoka, MD, Washington University; Gina Landinez, MD, Miami Vascular Specialists; and Ahmad Parvinian, MD, Mayo Clinic, this letter requests revisions including separating vertebral augmentation from thermal ablation strategies, emphasizing their distinct roles in pain relief and stabilization. New evidence supports ablative therapies in reducing pain, opioid use, and skeletal-related events. Additional updates clarify the use of ablative procedures across bone lesions and expand neurolysis options for localized pain syndromes.
