Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally.
  • Percutaneous ablation and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are key nonsurgical options for early-stage NSCLC.
  • Microwave ablation (MWA) presents advantages over radiofrequency ablation for NSCLC treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence supporting Microwave Ablation (MWA) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • To discuss technical aspects, patient selection, planning, complications, and outcomes of MWA in NSCLC.
  • To explore future trends of ablation in NSCLC, including combination therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current evidence on Microwave Ablation (MWA) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Discussion of technical considerations, patient selection, and planning strategies for MWA.
  • Analysis of potential complications and reported outcomes associated with MWA treatment.

Main Results:

  • MWA demonstrates advantages over traditional ablation techniques for early-stage NSCLC.
  • Evidence supports MWA as a viable locoregional treatment option.
  • Technical considerations and outcomes are detailed, alongside potential complications.

Conclusions:

  • Microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Future applications include combination therapy with SBRT, managing recurrence, and adjuvant treatment.
  • MWA shows promise in improving outcomes for NSCLC patients, including those with treatment resistance.
