This guideline is based on a comprehensive review of the literature on pulmonary nodules
and expert opinion. Although the management pathway for the majority of nodules detected …

The main contents of the Clinical Practice Guidelines on Image-Guided Thermal Ablation
(IGTA) of Primary and Metastatic Lung Tumors (2022 Edition) include the following …

Background Image-guided thermal ablation can be used for the treatment of medically
inoperable primary and metastatic lung cancer. These techniques are based on the heating …

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 …

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

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of cryoablation for lung tumors as well as
the incidence of, and risk factors for, complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study …

Lung ablation can be used to treat both primary and secondary thoracic malignancies.
Evidence to support its use, particularly for metastases from colonic primary tumours, is now …

Objectives To compare the incidence of persistent air leak (PAL) following cryoablation vs
MWA of lung tumors when the ablation zone includes the pleura. Methods This bi …

The aim of our study is a retrospective evaluation of effectiveness and safety of Computed
Tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy of primary and metastatic …

Today, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of primary and metastatic lung tumor is increasingly
used. Because RFA is most often used with curative intent, preablation workup must be a …
