Abstract
SUMMARY
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and the complicationsof radiofrequency (RF) ablation of metastatic lung tumors
Methods: Eight patients with lung metastatic underwent computed tomography-guided percutaneous RF ablation between May 2016 and
August 2018. A total of 11 tumors (8 metastatic from hepato cellular carcinoma, 2 metastatic from chorio and 1 metastatic from colon cancer) were treated with RF ablation (9 sessions). Tumor diameter ranged from 0.9 to 1.9 cm (median 1.26cm). Effectiveness of treatment and
complications were analyzed.
Results:Success rate was 100 % with only one session, local tumor progression hasn’t occurred in 11 tumors. Complications occurred in 5
sessions (55.5%). Chest pain occurred in 2 sessions andpneumothorax occurred in 3 sessions with one requiring image-guided percutaneous chest tube drainage.
Conclusion: RF ablation is a safe and effective treatment for selected patients with metastatic lung tumors.
