Abstract:
Percutaneous ablation allows to treat tumours with temperature modifications. These non-invasive techniques are useful to treat metastatic lung tumours in patients with a slowly evolving disease, which requires multiple local treatment. Ablation is therefore proposed as a locoregional treatment because it has a minimal impact on the lung. Other advantages are its efficacy and a low morbidity. Limits may be the tumour size and its location.
