Among pediatric and young adult patients with aneurysmal bone cysts, what treatment options are the most successful?
Started June 30, 2025
Abstract or project description
Maya plans to write a review paper evaluating available treatments for aneurysmal bone cysts. Her paper will address the question: "Among pediatric and young adult patients with aneurysmal bone cysts, what treatment options are the most successful?" She will perform a high quality literature review. She will then evaluate the literature to allow comparison of success, safety, and recurrence rates of both existing and experimental treatment options. Her project will compare various types of sclerotherapy and cryoablation, treatment success rates, complication rates, and rates of recurrence will be compared. She plans to both present her findings orally and as a published research paper.
