Microwave Ablation for Lung Neoplasms: A Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term Results

Safety and clinical outcomes of computed tomography‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation in patients aged 80 years and older with early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer: A multicenter retrospective study

“…The 30‐day mortality rate in the current study was 0.0%, which was consistent with those reported in previous studies . The incidence of pneumothorax requiring drainage in our study was higher than that previously reported.…”

Microwave Ablation and Immune Activation in the Treatment of Recurrent Colorectal Lung Metastases: A Case Report

“…The only side effect was fatigue. This early evaluation did not contradict further therapy, but before continuing with the immunological treatment, local ablative treatment with microwaves was proposed, as this has become a standard treatment for liver tumours, and also evidenced with a growing pile of international publications on treatment of lung lesions [9, 11, 12, 13]. The tumours were deemed treatable and were, after 2 more doses of pembrolizumab, done so in 2 sessions 3 weeks apart using a computer-assisted targeting system (CAS-one; Cascination AG, Bern, Switzerland) and microwaves (Angiodynamics) under immobilization of the lungs with high-flow jet ventilation as described in a previous publication [14].…”

Video‐assisted microwave ablation for the treatment of a metastatic lung lesion in a dog with appendicular osteosarcoma and hypertrophic osteopathy

“…Some patients are not surgical candidates due to medical comorbidities or anatomic location of lesions. In the human literature, tumor ablation techniques are well described for patients that are not surgical candidates for metastasectomy . There are a variety of tumor ablation methods, including microwave, radiofrequency, cryotherapy, and laser ablation.…”

“…Simon et al report MA benefits including higher intratumoral temperatures, larger tumor ablation volumes, faster ablation times, improved convection profile, along with many other benefits . Specifically in the lung, MA has recently emerged as a superior ablation method due to its improved tissue heating profile and ability to ablate larger tumors in shorter times . This technique has also been reported to have a high success rate .…”
