Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects,CT features and side-effects of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) in the treatment of peripheral lung cancer.Methods CT-guided PMCT was applied to 16 cases of peripheral lung cancer from August 2003 to October 2004 in this hospital.Pathological or cytological findings showed 9 cases of squamous carcinoma and 7 cases of adenocarcinoma.A needle microwave antenna was applied into the tumor percutaneously under CT guidance.In each emission of microwave,the tumor was ablated with a 2 450 Hz microwave coagulation output of 65~75 W for 3~5 min.According to the size and shape of the tumor,single or multiple ablation emission was selected.Results The operation time was(15~60) min(mean,35 min).Complete remission(CR) was achieved in 1 case,partial remission(PR) in 4 cases,and no changes(NC) in 11.Follow-up observations in the 16 cases for 3~15 months(mean,9.5 months) found 2 cases of tumor metastasis and 1 case of death.Conclusions Percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy is a safe,micro-invasive,and effective treatment for the management of peripheral lung cancer.
