Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Microwave ablation and radioactive seed implantation are therapeutic options for patients with advanced lung cancer and lung metastases lesion who are not surgical candidates. However, reports on therapeutic effectiveness and safety of the two combination treatments methods have been limited to small case series. This research was to assess the clinical outcome and safety of radioactive seed implantation combined with computed tomography (CT)-guided microwave ablation for the treatment of advanced lung cancer and lung metastases lesion.
METHODS:The clinical data of 21 advanced lung cancer and lung metastases patients who received treatment at author hospital during the period from May 2018 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups by whether received extra percutaneous microwave thermal ablation therapy. The short-term effectiveness and safety were analyzed.
RESULTS:The efficacy of control group was 28.75%, and the efficacy of experiment group was 14.28%. The rate of adverse reaction between two groups has no significantly difference (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:Seed implantation combined with CT-guided microwave ablation for advanced lung cancer and lung metastases is safety and effective.
