Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Percutaneous cryoablation may help relieve pain caused by bone metastases.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well percutaneous cryoablation works in treating patients with painful bone metastases.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* To confirm the safety of percutaneous cryoablation in the palliative treatment of patients with painful bone metastases.

* To determine the benefits of cryoablation of painful bone metastases by assessing pain intensity using a standardized Cleeland Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and quality of life using a standardized SF-8 both before and after treatment.

* To determine the secondary benefits of cryoablation of painful bone metastases by assessing change in analgesic use following therapy.

* To determine the level of anesthesia required for cryoablation with a baseline level of conscious sedation planned for each treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo percutaneous cryoablation to one or two sites of metastatic disease using the Endocare Cryocare system. Patients with a good initial response to treatment (≥ 2 decrease in pain intensity rating on the Brief Pain Inventory) who develop recurrent pain at the same site or a new painful site ≥ 1 month after initial treatment may undergo one additional cryoablation treatment.

Patients complete pain and quality of life questionnaires periodically.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 2 years.
