The Pain From a Bone Tumor Biopsy Biopsy of a bone tumor can be painful, and this is something that we typically do in an operating room with the patient either asleep or with the arm or leg numb so they can’t feel what we are doing. There are nerves that are around bones and so those hurt when you try to move them, which is why people have pain when they break a bone, because every time that broken bone shifts it irritates the nerve and makes it hurt. Also, bones are very deep, so to get to a bone to do a bone biopsy, you’ve got to move the muscles out of the way, and so if there’s a concern about someone having a bone tumor and we’re looking at a biopsy, this is something, again, that we usually do in the operating room with someone asleep.

Zapping bone brings relief from tumor pain

Scientists have eliminated serious pain in people with cancer by unleashing radio waves inside bone. Tumors appearing inside bone when cancers develop may be extremely painful. The new technique, called radio-frequency ablation, releases energy via a needle inserted into bone to reach the edge of the tumor. According to study coauthor Matthew R. Callstrom of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the radio waves produce warmth that kills tumor cells within about 10 minutes. He claims that targeting the surface where the tumor meets the bone seems to be dangerous. “Our thought is that ne......
