Objective To evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography guided radiofrequency(RF) ablation of non-small cell lung carcinoma with a clustered electrode.Methods 71 patients were allocated to 2 group:the group A(36 patients) were undergone RF tissue ablation 38 times and analysed image data,tumor size before and after the procedure were compared,the group B(35 patients) were treated with the combined chemotherapy of "FAP" or "CAP".Results The group A thirty-six cases at 10 days,twenty at 30 days,fifteen at 60 days after the ablation,all patients were repeatedly examined by CT scans,respectively.The tumor size was decreased by 20% at 10 days in 69% patients,decreased by 30% at 30 days in 75% patients,decreased by 50% at 60 days in 53% patients and disappeared in 13%,no operative death was noted,the effective rates were 66% in group A and 22 9% in group B respectively(P

Objective To discuss the clinical application of internal stent in tracheal stenosis.Methods 101 cases of large airway stenosis were treated with the self-expanding Ni-Ti alloy stents through oral cavity(41 cases)or nasal cavity(60 cases) under X-ray guided.Results The placement of Ni-Ti stents in all cases was successful one time.Of 64 cases,tracheal stents were introduced,bronchial stents,tracheal and bronchial stents were set up in 64,20 and 17 cases respectively.Shortness of breath was relieved obviously after process.Conclusion The placement of Ni-Ti stent is an effective and safe method for the treatment of large airway stenosis.
