摘要

In most of the cases Interventional Radiology techniques and therapies are proposed for the management of symptomatic soft tissue benign tumors responsible for pain and/or compression symptoms aiming to offer a curative intent by means of tumor necrosis with subsequent symptoms’ management and improvement of life quality. The ablative therapies include chemical, thermal and non-thermal approaches while, trans-arterial (chemo)embolization also has a distinct role. Adjunct ancillary techniques should be performed whenever necessary to increase efficacy and safety and avoid or reduce complications. The purpose of the current review is to identify the basis for treating soft tissue benign tumors with Interventional Radiology therapies, to offer a detailed review of them, to explain the expected outcomes and describe techniques for avoiding complications. Furthermore, a reflection upon future directions will be suggested.
