このエピソードについて
“We learn traditionally that bone metastasis is terminal.” 一 Or is it? In this episode of the BackTable MSK podcast, host Dr. Jacob Fleming welcomes Dr. Francis Lee, a leading figure in orthopedic oncology, to discuss advancements in treating skeletal metastasis. Dr. Lee, the Wayne O. Southwick Professor from Yale and President-elect of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, shares his innovative AORIF (Ablation, Osteoplasty, Reinforcement and Internal Fixation) technique, which emphasizes collaboration between orthopedic oncologists and interventional radiologists.
