[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 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 کاملBilateral empyema thoracis treated by staged thoracotomies.
Pleural effusion is a common finding following pneumonia. It can become infected with accumulation of pus, forming empyema thoracis (ET), which is frequently encountered in childhood. Proper drainage and broadspectrum antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment. However, operative intervention is another mode of therapy in later stages of the condition. Election of either mode of therapy is a co...
متن کاملResolution of a life-threatening complication after lung radiofrequency ablation.
Lung radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an option for the treatment of unresectable lung cancer. Clinical investigators have previously warned against severe complications associated with this procedure. We report a case of life-threatening complication after lung RFA for non-operable non-small-cell lung cancer consisting of pulmonary abscess evolving into a bronchopleural fistula, severe pneumot...
