Circulating Tumour Cell Release after Cement Augmentation of Vertebral Metastases

Abstract Cement augmentation via percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for treatment of spinal metastasis is a well-established treatment option. We assessed whether elevated intrametastatic pressure during cement augmentation results in an increased dissemination of tumour cells into the vascu...
