Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous Cool-tip Radiofrequency ablation guided by computerized tomography (CT) for the treatment of advanced lung cancer. Methods 32 patients of advanced lung cancer with 102 different pathological types were treated with MERP technique. The patients' blood pressure,pulse rate and oxygen saturation were monitored during the procedure. The hepatic, pulmonary and renal functions were examined before and after the procedure. The tumor bulk was compared with CT before and after the treatment. Results There were no any changes in the blood pressure, pulse rate and oxygen saturation in the whole series before, immediately after the term ination and one month after the procedure, nor did the hepatic,pulmonary and renal function as well. The bulk of the tumor in this group as a whole enlarged by the end of the first month after the therapy. The CT scanning of the tumor at the end of the third month revealed that there had 23 CR, 53 PRa, 24 PRb, and 2 NR among 102 tumors. Conclusion The Cool-tip Radiofrequency ablation is a promising mini-invasive technique for the treatment of advanced lung cancer with the satisfactory efficacy and safety.
