Analysis of microwave ablation efficacy for early small lung cancer
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of microwave ablation in the treatment of early small lung cancer.Method Totally 186 early-stage non-surgical small lung cancer patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Linyi City,Shandong Province from June 1,2019 to June 30,2022 were selected as the study subjects.The patient clinical data was retrospective analyzed,including lung cancer ablation status,lesion characteristics,adverse reactions and incidence of complications.Result The lesions in 186 patients were completely ablated without recurrence.Among 205 lesions,there were 174 fibrous bands(84.88%),10 cavities(4.88%),and 21 nodules(10.24%).In terms of complications,there were 13 cases(6.99%)of pneumothorax,3 cases(1.61%)of pneumothorax with subcutaneous emphysema,28 cases(15.05%)of bloody sputum,and 7 cases(3.76%)of pulmonary infection.Conclusion Early stage small lung cancer pa-tients who cannot undergo surgery can undergo complete ablation of the nodule lesions after microwave ablation treat-ment,with fewer complications and high surgical safety,which can be applied clinically.
