Radiofrequency ablation of lung tumours – new perspective in treatment of lung neoplasms
Image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of solid tumours that has only been introduced recently into every day clinical practice. Now it is considered to be a feasible treatment option for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma or limited metastatic liver disease.1,2 With the improvement of the technology RFA is now bei...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of lung tumours
Pulmonary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become an increasingly adopted treatment option for primary and metastatic lung tumours. It is mainly performed in patients with unresectable or medically inoperable lung neoplasms. The immediate technical success rate is over 95%, with a low periprocedural mortality rate and 8-12% major complication rate. Pneumothorax represents the most frequent com...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of lung tumours
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a well-established local therapy for hepatic malignancies. It is rapidly emerging as an effective treatment modality for small lesions elsewhere in the body, in particular, the kidney and the lung. It is a relatively safe and minimally invasive treatment for small lung malignancies, both primary and secondary. In particular, it is the preferred form of treatment...
متن کامل[Survival after radiofrequency ablation for 100 cases of lung neoplasms].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Surgical resection is the preferred treatment in selected patients with pulmonary neoplasms. In older than 70 years or have compromised cardiopulmonary status or coexistent medical problems patients, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may offer an alternative option. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects after RFA in 100 patients with pulmonary neoplas...
متن کاملAblation 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...
