Ablation of lung tumours
نویسنده
چکیده
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 complication profile is well understood.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for thoracic tumours has emerged as a minimally invasive therapy option for primary and secondary lung tumours and has gained increasing acceptance for pain palliation. The procedure is well tolerated and the complication rates are low. RFA provides the opportunity for localized tissue destruction of limited tumour volumes with medium and long term follow-up data s...

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...

Image-guided percutaneous local therapy using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) has been used in liver tumours and non-hepatic lesions (e.g. osteoid osteoma) for several years [1–4]. It has been shown to be effective and safe and can usually be performed under local anaesthesia. Recently, percutaneous tumour ablation has also been introduced for l...
