Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Pulmonary metastases are frequent in cancer patients.
  • Surgery is a standard treatment but not suitable for all patients due to comorbidities or extensive disease.
  • Alternative treatments are needed for unresectable pulmonary metastases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the rationale and outcomes of non-surgical treatment strategies for pulmonary metastases.
  • To discuss radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and microwave ablation as treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of non-surgical approaches for pulmonary metastases.
  • Analysis of outcomes for radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and microwave ablation.

Main Results:

  • Non-surgical methods provide potential treatment strategies for patients unsuitable for surgery.
  • Radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and microwave ablation are discussed as viable options.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive ablative techniques are important alternatives for managing pulmonary metastases.
  • These approaches expand treatment options for cancer patients with lung metastases.
