Ablation of lung tumours
Radiofrequency, laser, microwave and cryotherapy have all been used for the ablation of lung tumours. However, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation are the most widely used technologies. RFA has been successfully applied to tumour measuring from <3 to 3.5 cm, either primary or secondary. Lung function usually recovers to pre-ablation values following an initial reduction and the...
متن کاملComputed tomography‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation of early stage non‐small cell lung cancer in a pneumonectomy patient
A squamous cell lung cancer patient was treated with pneumonectomy. A recurrent lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) was found 45 months later and successfully biopsied and treated with microwave ablation. After 18 months of follow up, no evidence of tumor recurrence was observed.
متن کاملLung tumour ablation – where are we now?
Ablation of lung tumours is the fastest expanding area within interventional oncology. Radiofrequency, laser, microwave and cryotherapy have all been shown to be effective. Which of these ablation technologies becomes the preferred technique for lung tumours remains to be seen.
متن کاملExperimental study of image-guided percutaneous microwave ablation in rabbit lung VX2 tumor model.
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation. METHODS Twenty-six rabbits with lung VX2 tumor were randomly divided into experimental and control group. In the experimental group, microwave ablation guided by ultrasound or CT was performed based on location of the tumor. Enhanced CT scan was carried out immediately before and after the ablation for all anim...
متن کاملDDMC-p53 gene therapy with or without cisplatin and microwave ablation
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of death in cancer patients. Severe treatment side effects and late stage of disease at diagnosis continue to be an issue. We investigated whether local treatment using 2-diethylaminoethyl-dextran methyl methacrylate copolymer with p53 (DDMC-p53) with or without cisplatin and/or microwave ablation enhances disease control in BALBC mice. We used a Lewis lung...
