✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer‐related mortality in the United States. Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for early stage, non‐small cell lung cancer, and limited pulmonary metastases. However, many patients with resectable disease have significant co‐morbidities which preclude surgical resection. Radiofrequency and microwave ablation are emerging modalities of treatment for these high‐risk patients. Here, we review the principles, common devices in use, and treatment results of ablative therapy for lung tumors. J. Surg. Oncol. 2009;100:645–650. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The high incidence of tumor seeding along the needle tract, reported by Llovet et al., 1 has not been reported as a complication of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the cooled needle in studies that date from 1996 and include several hundred patients. [2][3][4][5][
