Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used to treat pulmonary malignancies. Although
preliminary results are suggestive of a survival benefit, local progression rates are …

Although radiofrequency ablation for lung cancer is generally safe (with a mortality rate<
1%), it may cause various complications. Common complications include pneumothorax …

Image-guided thermal ablation is an evolving and growing treatment option for patients with
malignant disease of multiple organ systems. Treatment indications have been expanding to …

Background Microwave ablation of lung nodules may provide a faster, larger and more
predictable ablation zone than other energy sources, while bronchoscopic transbronchial …

OBJECTIVE. This study retrospectively evaluates complications after lung radiofrequency
ablation (RFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Complications were assessed for each RFA …

OBJECTIVES: Stereotactic body radiation therapy has been proposed as an alternative local
treatment option for high-risk patients with early-stage lung cancer. A direct comparison of …

Background The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the incidence of and risk
factors for major complications after microwave ablation (MWA) of lung tumors. Methods …

Percutaneous image-guided thermal ablation is gaining attraction as an effective alternative
to surgical resection for patients with primary and secondary malignancies of the lung …

Lung ablation is ever more recognized since its initial report and use almost two decades
ago. With technological advancements in thermal modalities, particularly microwave …

Objectives To compare the incidence of persistent air leak (PAL) following cryoablation vs
