Inclusion Criteria

  • One to 2 painful vertebrae (T1-L5) with evidence of osteolytic metastatic lesion with known primary histology with pathologic fracture(s) at index vertebra by MRI
  • Pain score ≥ 4 on the numerical rating pain scale
  • Life expectancy of ≥ 6 months

Exclusion Criteria

  • Primary tumors of the bone at index vertebra
  • Benign tumors of the bone at index vertebra
  • Osteoblastic tumors at index vertebra
  • Index vertebra with more than one (1) pedicle involved
  • Epidural extension of tumor within 5 mm of the spinal cord or without sufficient room for thermal protective maneuvers
  • Spinal cord compression or canal compromise requiring decompression
  • Radiation therapy is planned to be started on the index vertebra within 4 weeks post procedure
  • Radiation therapy was performed on the index vertebra within 2 months before enrollment
  • Major surgery of the spine was performed within 3 months before enrollment
  • Index vertebra(e) had previous spine surgery including vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty
  • Additional non-kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty surgical treatment is required for the index vertebra
