Description: For this phase 2, single group assignment study, researchers are attempting to determine whether cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, or microwave ablation are feasible, safe, and effective methods of treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that is stable on chemotherapy.
Patients with metastatic osteosarcoma or sarcoma that has not progressed on 6 to 12 cycles of chemotherapy are eligible. Depending on tumor characteristics, patients will undergo microwave ablation, cryoablation, or radiofrequency ablation. Patients will also be asked to fill out pain surveys and quality of life questionnaires.
The primary outcome measure is progression-free survival. Secondary measures include overall survival, change in quality of life, and level of pain.
