Radiofrequency ablation of inoperable non-small cell lung cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radio frequency ablation (RFA) of lung tumors is a relatively new procedure allowing local treatment with minimal parenchymal damage. This technique is able to induce coagulative necrosis in a limited pulmonary area.1 This emerging technology is used to achieve local treatment of primary and secondary lung tumors in patients with poor clinical status or technical contraindications to surgical resection.2,3

متن کاملEvaluation and Definitive Management of Medically Inoperable Early-Stage Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Part 1
Lung cancer is estimated to be the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women in 2006, and the leading cause of cancer mortality. Non-small-cell lung cancer represents the majority of such cases. Most of these patients have locally advanced disease at presentation and are not eligible for curative resection. For the minority of patients who are technically resectable at present...
