Lung Radiofrequency Ablation: Potential as a Therapy to Oligometastasis and Oligo-Recurrence

Lung Radiofrequency Ablation: Potential as a Therapy to Oligometastasis and Oligo-Recurrence

The early results (e.g., patient survival) of RFA for the treatment of patients with NSCLC and pulmonary metastasis from various primary lesions including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and sarcoma appear encouraging and suggest the potential to offer...
