Abstract:
Thoracoscopic surgery is considered to be the best treatment option for pulmonary lesions. However, for patients with clinical stage IIIA, surgery is not always feasible, due to a lack of sufficient lung function. Microwave ablation (MWA) is an appropriate, minimally invasive treatment option for these patients. In this case study, we present our initial experience with MWA guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in a patient with a lesion located in the right lower lobe. The patient was successfully ablated and achieved a long progression-free period.
