Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for early stage, non-small cell lung cancer, and limited pulmonary metastases. However, many patients with resectable disease have significant co-morbidities which preclude surgical resection. Radiofrequency and microwave ablation are emerging modalities of treatment for these high-risk patients. Here, we review the principles, common devices in use, and treatment results of ablative therapy for lung tumors.
肺癌是美国癌症相关死亡的最常见原因。手术切除仍然是早期非小细胞肺癌和有限肺转移的标准治疗方法。然而,许多可切除疾病的患者存在严重的合并症,这些合并症排除了手术切除的可能性。射频和微波消融是治疗这些高危患者的新兴治疗方法。在这里,我们回顾了消融治疗肺肿瘤的原则、常用设备和治疗结果。
