[PMID: 39236577 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.107952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
This paper highlights developments in diagnostic and nonsurgical local treatment modalities that have changed the management of early-stage lung cancer. These innovations aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, minimize invasiveness, and improve patient outcomes. Liquid biopsies are emerging as promising tools for non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring, enabling earlier intervention without being standardized yet as well as not yet anchored in the guidelines. Endobronchial navigation has emerged as an innovative tool. By combining electromagnetic or GPS-like technology with 3D imaging and a steerable catheter, it enables accurate biopsy of small, peripheral lesions that were once challenging to sample, with a very low pneumothorax rate. Regarding nonsurgical treatments, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) continues to shine as a non-invasive local treatment modality for early-stage lung cancer and is the guideline-recommended standard-of-care for inoperable patients and patients refusing the risk of surgical resection. The low toxicity and excellent local control has made it an attractive alternative to surgery even in fitter patients. Percutaneous ablative techniques utilising energies such as microwave or pulse-field electroporation are options for patients who are not candidates for surgery or SBRT. Bronchoscopic ablation delivers the same energies but with a very lower pneumothorax rate and it is therefore also open to patients with multiple and bilateral lesions.

Combination of Local Ablative Techniques with Radiotherapy for Primary and Recurrent Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5869. [PMID: 38136413 PMCID: PMC10741973 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
In patients with early-stage or recurrent NSCLC who are unable to tolerate surgery, a benefit could derive only from a systemic therapy or another few forms of local therapy. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of radiotherapy combined with local ablative therapies in the treatment of primary and recurrent lung cancer in terms of toxicity profile and local control rate. Six studies featuring a total of 115 patients who met eligibility criteria and 119 lesions were included. Three studies evaluated lung cancer patients with a medically inoperable condition treated with image-guided local ablative therapies followed by radiotherapy: their local control rate (LC) ranged from 75% to 91.7% with only 15 patients (19.4%) reporting local recurrence after combined modality treatment. The other three studies provided a salvage option for patients with locally recurrent NSCLC after RT: the median follow-up period varied from 8.3 to 69.3 months with an LC rate ranging from 50% to 100%. The most common complications were radiation pneumonitis (9.5%) and pneumothorax (29.8%). The proposed intervention appears to be promising in terms of toxicity profile and local control rate. Further prospective studies are need to better delineate combining LTA-RT treatment benefits in this setting.

Abstract
Pulmonary carcinoma represents the second common cancer for human race while its mortality rate ranked the first all over the world. Surgery remains the primary option for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in some surgical traditions. Nevertheless, only less than half of patients are operable subjected to the limited lung function and multiple primary/metastatic lesions. Recent improvements in minimally invasive surgical techniques have made the procedure accessible to more patients, but this percentage still does not exceed half. In recent years, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), one of the thermal ablation procedures, has gradually advanced in the treatment of lung cancer in addition to being utilized to treat breast and liver cancer. Several guidelines, including the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), include RFA as an option for some patients with NSCLC although the level of evidence is mostly limited to retrospective studies. In this review, we emphasize the use of the RFA technique in patients with early-stage NSCLC and provide an overview of the RFA indication population, prognosis status, and complications. Meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of RFA proposed in existing studies are compared with surgical treatment and radiotherapy. Due to the high rate of gene mutation and immunocompetence in NSCLC, there are considerable challenges to clinical translation of combining targeted drugs or immunotherapy with RFA that the field has only recently begun to fully appreciate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and survival outcomes of computed tomography-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for medically inoperable Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients aged ≥70 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a prospective, single-arm, single-center clinical trial. The MWA clinical trial enrolled patients aged ≥70 years with medically inoperable Stage I NSCLC from January 2021 to October 2021. All patients received biopsy and MWA synchronously with the coaxial technique. The primary endpoints were 1-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoint was adverse events. RESULTS A total of 103 patients were enrolled. Ninety-seven patients were eligible and analyzed. The median age was 75 years (range, 70-91 years). The median diameter of tumors was 16 mm (range, 6-33 mm). Adenocarcinoma (87.6%) was the most common histologic finding. With a median follow-up of 16.0 months, the 1-year OS and PFS rates were 99.0% and 93.7%, respectively. There were no procedure-related deaths in any patient within 30 days after MWA. Most of the adverse events were minor. CONCLUSION MWA is an effective and safe treatment for patients aged ≥70 years with medically inoperable Stage I NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer incidence has greatly increased over the past century. Moreover, the lung is the most common site of metastatic involvement. Despite improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung malignancies, patient prognosis is still unsatisfactory. Locoregional chemotherapeutic techniques for the treatment of lung malignancies are the current focus of research. The aim of this review article is to present different locoregional intravascular techniques and their treatment principles and to assess the pros and cons of each of them as a palliative and neoadjuvant treatment method in the treatment of lung malignancy. METHOD The different methods for the treatment of malignant lung lesions such as isolated lung perfusion (ILP), selective pulmonary artery perfusion (SPAP), transpulmonary chemoembolization (TPCE), bronchial artery infusion (BAI), bronchioarterial chemoembolization (BACE), and intraarteriel chemoperfusion (IACP) are evaluated comparatively. RESULTS Locoregional intravascular chemotherapy procedures are proving to be promising treatment options in the management of malignant lung tumors. In order to achieve optimal results, the locoregional technique should be used to achieve the highest possible uptake of the chemotherapeutic agent into the target tissue with rapid systemic clearance. CONCLUSION Among the various treatment options for lung malignancies, TPCE is the best evaluated treatment concept. However, further studies are necessary to define the optimal treatment concept with the best clinical outcomes. KEY POINTS · There are various intravascular chemotherapy methods for the treatment of lung malignancies.. · Transpulmonary chemoembolization (TPCE) is currently the most extensively evaluated treatment method for lung malignancies.. · Thermoablation after neoadjuvant chemoperfusion is a promising therapy for treating lung malignancies..

Abstract
Lung cancer is managed using conventional therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both. Each of these therapies has its own limitations, such as the indiscriminate killing of normal as well as cancer cells, the solubility of the chemotherapeutic drugs, rapid clearance of the drugs from circulation before reaching the tumor site, the resistance of cancer cells to radiation, and over-sensitization of normal cells to radiation. Other treatment modalities include gene therapy, immunological checkpoint inhibitors, drug repurposing, and in situ cryo-immune engineering (ICIE) strategy. Nanotechnology has come to the rescue to overcome many shortfalls of conventional therapies. Some of the nano-formulated chemotherapeutic drugs, as well as nanoparticles and nanostructures with surface modifications, have been used for effective cancer cell killing and radio sensitization, respectively. Nano-enabled drug delivery systems act as cargo to deliver the sensitizer molecules specifically to the tumor cells, thereby enabling the radiation therapy to be more effective. In this review, we have discussed the different conventional chemotherapies and radiation therapies used for inhibiting lung cancer. We have also discussed the improvement in chemotherapy and radiation sensitization using nanoparticles.

Abstract
Lobar resection has been the established standard of care for peripheral early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Over the last few years, surgical lung sparing approach (sublobar resection [SLR]) has been compared with lobar resection in T1N0 NSCLC. Three nonsurgical options are available in those patients who have a prohibitive surgical risk, and those who refuse surgery: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), percutaneous ablation, and bronchoscopic ablation. Local ablation involves placement of a probe into a tumor, and subsequent application of either heat or cold energy, pulsing electrical fields, or placement of radioactive source under an image guidance to create a zone of cell death that encompasses the targeted lesion and an ablation margin. Despite being in their infancy, the bronchoscopic ablative techniques are undergoing rapid research, as they extrapolate a significant knowledge-base from the percutaneous techniques that have been in the radiologist's armamentarium since 2000. Here, we discuss selected endoscopic and percutaneous thermal and non-thermal therapies with the focus on their efficacy and safety.

Long-Term Outcomes From a Phase 2 Trial of Radiofrequency Ablation Combined With External Beam Radiation Therapy for Patients With Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term outcomes after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are not well known. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients with medically inoperable early-stage NSCLC were enrolled in a prospective single-arm, phase 2 study between June 2007 and October 2008 and were treated with RFA followed by EBRT. Radiation was delivered using hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT; 70.2 Gy in 26 fractions) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (54 Gy in 3 fractions). RESULTS Twelve patients were evaluable; 10 patients were treated with HFRT. The cumulative incidence of local progression at 5 years was 16.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0-37.8). Median progression-free survival was 37.8 months (95% CI, 11.1 to not reached) and median overall survival was 53.6 months (95% CI, 21.0 to not reached). There were no mortalities within 30 days after RFA and no grade ≥4 toxicity. CONCLUSIONS The combination of RFA with EBRT appears feasible with favorable long-term local control. However, because SBRT alone has similar or better rates of control, we do not recommend routine combined RFA and EBRT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intratumoral chemotherapy (ITC) has been used by many groups; the combination of heat and cytotoxic drugs increases the ability to destroy the malignant cells. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous injection of hyperthermic chemotherapy in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy as a palliative management of peripheral inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to conventional systemic chemotherapy.
Results
There was a statistically significant improvement in quality of life score in group A and B, but deterioration in group C after 6 months. As regards radiology, after 6 months in group A, one patient (10%) showed complete response, 6 patients (60%) showed partial response, one patient (10%) stable response, and two patients (20%) showed progression; in group B, 6 patients (60%) showed partial response, two patients (20%) showed stable response, and two patients (20%) showed progression; and in group C, 7 patients (70%) showed progression, two patients (20%) showed partial response, and one patient (10%) showed stable response. There were few controllable complications. Median survival in group A was 16 months, in group B was 15 months, and in group C was 8 months.
Conclusion
Intratumoral hyperthermic chemotherapy is a promising, effective, harmless palliative therapy for inoperable peripheral NSCLC.

Abstract
Thermal ablation involves the application of heat or cold energy to the lung under image guidance to eradicate tumors. It is indicated for treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer in nonsurgical patients. Ablation technologies have advanced, such that nearly all small tumors can now be treated safely and effectively. Ablation does not cause a lasting decline in pulmonary function tests and may therefore be used to treat multiple synchronous and metachronous lung tumors, a chief advantage over other treatments. Large series with intermediate- and long-term data have been reported showing favorable overall survival, similar to radiation therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the overall survival (OS) outcomes of sublobar resection (SLR) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or ablation for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Patients with clinical stage I (T1-T2aN0M0) NSCLC from 2004 to 2014 who were treated with SLR, SBRT, or ablation as the sole treatment were identified from the National Cancer Database. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by log-rank test, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, and propensity score-matched analysis. Relative survival analyses compared with age- and sex-matched US population were performed. RESULTS A total of 53,973 patients were identified. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year relative survival rates were 96%, 90%, 84%, and 71% for SLR (n = 30,451); 93%, 78%, 65%, and 46% for SBRT (n = 22,134); and 90%, 73%, 58%, and 37% for ablation (n = 1388). Propensity score matching resulted in 9967 patients in the SBRT group versus 9967 in the SLR group and 1062 patients in the ablation group versus 1984 in the SLR group. After matching, both SBRT (hazard ratio, 1.559; 95% confidence interval, 1.497-1.623; P < .001) and ablation (hazard ratio, 1.906; 95% confidence interval, 1.730-2.101; P < .001) were associated with shorter OS when compared with SLR. These results persisted in patients with tumor size ≤2 cm. CONCLUSIONS Preliminary results suggest SLR may be associated with longer OS in patients with early-stage NSCLC compared with SBRT or ablation. Future prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trials comparing these treatments are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Lung cancer ranks first in incidence and mortality in China. Surgery is the primary method to cure cancer, but only 20-30% of patients are eligible for curative resection. In recent years, in addition to surgery, other local therapies have been developed for patients with numerous localized primary and metastatic pulmonary tumors, including stereotactic body radiation therapy and thermal ablative therapies through percutaneously inserted applicators. Percutaneous thermal ablation of pulmonary tumors is minimally invasive, conformal, repeatable, feasible, cheap, has a shorter recovery time, and offers reduced morbidity and mortality. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), the most commonly used thermal ablation technique, has a reported 80-90% rate of complete ablation, with the best results obtained in tumors < 3 cm in diameter. Because the clinical efficacy of RFA of pulmonary tumors has not yet been determined, this clinical guideline describes the techniques used in the treatment of localized primary and metastatic pulmonary tumors in nonsurgical candidates, including mechanism of action, devices, indications, techniques, potential complications, clinical outcomes, post-ablation surveillance, and use in combination with other therapies. In the future, the role of RFA in the treatment of localized pulmonary tumors should ultimately be determined by evidence from prospective randomized controlled trials comparing sublobar resection or stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Abstract
Objective Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is less effective for large tumors > 3 cm in diameter. Various studies of combination therapy using RFA and other treatments have been conducted to improve the results of RFA treatment of lung tumors, survival was extended in a tumor model when RFA was followed by concomitant use of systemic chemotherapy. Bevacizumab (BCM) is a one of molecular target drugs. Numerous clinical trials and reports have shown BCM’s effect when used in combination with cisplatin (CDDP) in lung tumor. Our objective is to evaluate the survival of concurrent, combined use of radiofrequency ablation and BCM, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy [CDDP/paclitaxel (PTX)] in a rabbit VX2 lung tumor. Results Survival times of the RFA alone, CDDP/PTX, CDDP/PTX/BCM, RFA/CDDP/PTX, and RFA/CDDP/PTX/BCM groups were significantly prolonged compared to that of the control group (P = 0.0055, P = 0.0055, P = 0.0004, P = 0.0002, P = 0.0019, respectively). Survival of the RFA/CDDP/PTX/BCM group was not significantly prolonged compared to the RFA alone (P = 0.53) and CDDP/PTX/BCM group (P = 0.68), while showing a significantly shorter survival time than that of the RFA/CDDP/PTX group (P = 0.017). The addition to BCM with combination RFA and systemic therapy with CDDP/PTX did not have a positive effect on survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) for patients with lung cancers using meta-analysis. METHODS AND MATERIALS A literature search (PubMed, Embase, Web of science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) was undertaken until August 2017 to identify sufficient studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of RFA. Pooled proportions of estimates were calculated by performing the random effect model, including technical success rate, recurrence rate, local tumor progression rate and complications. RESULTS A total of 25 eligible studies were collected, giving a sample size of 1989 patients with 3025 lung tumors. In the present series, the pooled technical success rate was 96%(95%CIs: 93%-100%). Further, we observed pooled recurrence rate of 35%(95%CIs: 12%-59%) following RFA. Additionally, the pooled rate of local tumor progression was 26%(95%CIs: 20%-32%). One hundred and ninety major complications of RFA were reported in 20 studies, giving a pooled proportion of 6% (95%CIs: 3%-8%) for major RFA complications. Pooled rate of minor complications was 27% (95%CIs:14%-41%). CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis, RFA was found to be a safe and efficient treatment for the patients with lung cancers. The efficacy and safety of RFA for lung cancer deserve future investigation in further well-designed randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Thermal dose and absorbed radiation dose have historically been difficult to compare because different biological mechanisms are at work. Thermal dose denatures proteins and the radiation dose causes DNA damage in order to achieve ablation. The purpose of this paper is to use the proportion of cell survival as a potential common unit by which to measure the biological effect of each procedure. Survival curves for both thermal and radiation doses have been extracted from previously published data for three different cell types. Fits of these curves were used to convert both thermal and radiation dose into the same quantified biological effect: fraction of surviving cells. They have also been used to generate and compare survival profiles from the only indication for which clinical data are available for both focused ultrasound (FUS) thermal ablation and radiation ablation: essential tremor thalamotomy. All cell types could be fitted with coefficients of determination greater than 0.992. As an illustration, survival profiles of clinical thalamotomies performed by radiosurgery and FUS are plotted on a same graph for the same metric: fraction of surviving cells. FUS and Gamma Knife have the potential to be used in combination to deliver a more effective treatment (for example, FUS may be used to debulk the main tumour mass, and radiation to treat the surrounding tumour bed). In this case, a model which compares thermal and radiation treatments is valuable in order to adjust the dose between the two.

Abstract
Approximately 30% of early stage lung cancer patients are not surgical candidates due to medical co-morbidities, poor cardiopulmonary function and advanced age. These patients are traditionally offered chemotherapy and radiation, which have shown relatively modest improvements in mortality. For over a decade, percutaneous image-guided ablation has emerged as a safe, cost-effective, minimally invasive treatment alternative for patients who would otherwise not qualify for surgery. Although radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is currently the most extensively studied and widely utilised technique in the treatment of lung malignancies, there is a growing body of evidence that microwave ablation (MWA) has several unique benefits over RFA and cryoablation in the lung. This article reviews our institution's clinical experiences in the treatment of lung malignancies with MWA including patient selection, procedural technique, imaging follow-up, treatment outcomes and comparison of ablation techniques.

Abstract
Lung cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In advanced cases of lung cancer, a multimodality approach is often applied, however with poor local control rates. In early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgery is the standard of care. Only 15-30% of patients are eligible for surgical resection. Improvements in imaging and treatment delivery systems have provided new tools to better target these tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has evolved as the next best option. The role of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is also growing. Currently, it is a third-line option in stage 1 NSCLC, when SBRT cannot be performed. More recent studies have demonstrated usefulness in recurrent tumors and some authors have also suggested combination of RFA with other modalities in larger tumors. Following the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), screening by low-dose computed tomography (CT) has demonstrated high rates of early-stage lung cancer detection in high-risk populations. Hence, even considering the current role of RFA as a third-line option, in view of increasing numbers of occurrences detected, the number of potential RFA candidates may see a steep uptrend. In view of all this, it is imperative that interventional radiologists be familiar with the techniques of lung ablation. The aim of this article is to discuss the procedural technique of RFA in the lung and review the current evidence regarding RFA for NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with an internally cooled electrode for twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence. METHODS From April 2008 through December 2014, we retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent RFA with an internally cooled electrode for TRAP sequence at 3 tertiary referral centers in Japan. RESULTS Twenty-five monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies underwent RFA with an internally cooled electrode for TRAP sequence at 16-27 weeks of gestation. In all cases, umbilical cord blood flow cessation in the acardiac twin was confirmed by ultrasonography with color Doppler. There were 2 cases of procedure-related complications: 1 case of unintentional septostomy and 1 case of anemia in a pump twin. Fetal demise of the pump twin occurred in 3 (12%) cases. Twenty-two (88%) of 25 pump twins were delivered alive. The median gestational age at delivery was 36 + 3 weeks (range 25 + 2-40 + 5 weeks). There were 14 cases (64%) of premature deliveries before 37 weeks and 5 (23%) before 32 weeks. CONCLUSION RFA with an internally cooled electrode is a feasible and effective procedure for the treatment of TRAP sequence.

Abstract
In the last decade, many energy devices have entered day-to-day practice in thoracic surgery. Some have proven and recognized applications, whereas others still require further trials. Nevertheless, currently used devices continue to be improved on and new applications for current devices will be evaluated. Ultimately, novel applications of energy in thoracic surgery and refinement in technology will hopefully allow for safer and less invasive techniques for patients requiring thoracic surgical procedures. In this article, we review the present and future applications of energy devices in thoracic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic therapy is recommended for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, conventional first-line treatment has generated a plateau in response rate of 25% to 35%. Few studies have shown patients benefit from microwave ablation (MWA) in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of percutaneous computed tomography-guided MWA as maintenance after first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC. METHODS Patients with histologically verified NSCLC stage IIIB or IV between January 2010 and March 2014 were involved. After completion of first-line treatment with partial response or stable disease, 35 patients with 39 tumors underwent 39 MWA procedures. Complications, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and correlated predictors were analyzed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 17.7 months and 10.8 months after initial MWA, local efficacy was 87.2%, median MWA-related local control time was 10.6 months, and tumor size was the only predictor (P=0.002). Median MWA-related PFS, MWA-related OS, PFS, and OS were 5.4, 10.6, 11.8 and 17.7 months, respectively. Local efficacy was significantly correlated with MWA-related PFS (P=0.003), MWA-related OS (P=0.000), and OS (P=0.001). There were no procedure-specific deaths. Total incidence of major complications was 12.8%, including pneumothorax resolved by closed pleural drainage and pneumonia controlled by antibiotics in a short time. CONCLUSION This study concluded two points, including: 1) patients benefited from MWA as maintenance both in local control and survival; 2) as maintenance MWA was superior to conventional maintenance therapy with improved survival and well-tolerated complications. Therefore, MWA was a safe and effective maintenance after first-line treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE aim of this study was to identify outcomes in pain relief and quality of life in patients with a solitary painful osseous metastasis treated by radiotherapy, cryoablation or the combination using a propensity score matching study design. MATERIALS AND METHODS 175 patients with painful bone metastases were included in the study. Twenty-five of them underwent a radiation course (20 Gy in five daily fractions) 15 days after the cryoablation. These subjects were retrospectively matched by propensity analysis with a group of subjects treated by radiotherapy (125 subjects) and with a group treated byCryoablation (25 subjects). The pain relief in terms of complete response, rate of subjects requiring analgesics after treatments and the changes in self-rated quality of life were measured. Informed consent was obtained from the subject and the study was approved by the local Ethical Committee. RESULTS An higher proportion of subjects treated by cryoablation (32%) or cryoablation followed by RT (72%;) experienced a complete response compared with patients treated by radiotherapy alone (11.2%). After Bonferroni correction strategy, the addition of radiotherapy to cryoablation significantly improved the rate of complete response compared with cryoablation alone (p = 0.011) and this paralleled with an improved self-rated quality of life. Seventeen subjects (13.6%) of patients in the radiotherapy group, 9 (36%) in the cryoablation group, and 19 (76)% in the cryoablation- radiotherapy group did not require narcotic medications. CONCLUSIONS The addition of radiotherapy to cryoablation favorably impacts on perceived pain, with a favorable toxicity profile. However, our data should be interpreted with caution and could serve as a framework around which to design future trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the 2-year overall survival rate, adverse event rate, local control rate, and impact on pulmonary function tests for medically inoperable patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in a prospective, multicenter trial. METHODS Fifty-four patients (25 men and 29 women) with a median age of 76 years (range, 60-89 years) were enrolled from 16 US centers; 51 patients were eligible for evaluation (they had biopsy-proven stage IA NSCLC and were deemed medically inoperable by a board-certified thoracic surgeon). Pulmonary function tests were performed within the 60 days before RFA and 3 and 24 months after RFA. Adverse events were recorded and categorized. Patients were followed with CT and fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Local control rate and recurrence patterns were analyzed. RESULTS The overall survival rate was 86.3% at 1 year and 69.8% at 2 years. The local tumor recurrence-free rate was 68.9% at 1 year and 59.8% at 2 years and was worse for tumors > 2 cm. In the 19 patients with local recurrence, 11 were re-treated with RFA, 9 underwent radiation, and 3 underwent chemotherapy. There were 21 grade 3 adverse events, 2 grade 4 adverse events, and 1 grade 5 adverse event in 12 patients within the first 90 days after RFA. None of the grade 4 or 5 adverse events were attributable to RFA. There was no significant change in the forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration or the diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide after RFA. A tumor size less than 2.0 cm and a performance status of 0 or 1 were associated with statistically significant improved survival of 83% and 78%, respectively, at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS RFA is a single, minimally invasive procedure that is well tolerated in medically inoperable patients, does not adversely affect pulmonary function tests, and provides a 2-year overall survival rate that is comparable to the rate reported after stereotactic body radiotherapy in similar patients.

Abstract
Since decades the gold standard for treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical lobectomy plus mediastinal lymph node dissection. Patients in worse health status are treated with sublobar resection or radiation treatment. With development of stereotactic-body-radiotherapy (SBRT), outcome of patients treated with radiation was substantially improved. Comparison of SBRT and surgical techniques is difficult due to the lack of randomized trials. However, all available evidence in form of case control studies of population based studies show equivalence between sublobar resection and SBRT indicating that SBRT-when performed by a trained and experienced team-should be offered to all high-risk surgical patients. For patients not willing to take the risk of lobectomy and therefore refusing surgery, SBRT is an excellent treatment option.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate long-term survival outcomes of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of colorectal lung metastases and evaluate factors associated with improved survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-four patients (46 male and 38 female; median age, 65 y) with 172 colorectal lung metastases (median size, 1.2 cm) underwent 113 RF ablation sessions. Thirteen patients had viable extrapulmonary recurrences at the time of RF ablation. The primary endpoint was patient survival. Prognostic factors associated with survival were determined by univariate and multivariate analyses. Secondary endpoints were local tumor progression and adverse events (per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0). RESULTS During follow-up (median duration, 37.5 mo), 36 patients (42.9%) died. The estimated overall survival (OS) rates were 95.2%, 65.0%, and 51.6% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively (median OS time, 67.0 mo). Multivariate analysis revealed that a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level of at least 5 ng/mL before RF ablation (P = .03) and the presence of viable extrapulmonary recurrences at the time of RF ablation (P = .001) were independent negative prognostic factors. The local tumor progression rate was 14.0% (24 of 172 tumors). Grade 3 adverse events were observed after two sessions (1.8%), and grade 4/5 adverse events were not observed. CONCLUSIONS RF ablation of colorectal lung metastases provided favorable long-term survival with a low incidence of severe adverse events. Independent prognostic factors were a high CEA level before RF ablation and the presence of viable extrapulmonary recurrences at the time of RF ablation.

Abstract
Novel therapies for lung cancer are being explored nowadays with local therapies being the tip of the arrow. Intratumoral chemotherapy administration and local microwave ablation have been investigated in several studies. It has been previously proposed that lipiodol has the ability to modify the microenvironment matrix. In our current study we investigated this theory in BALBC mice. In total 160 BALBC mice were divided in eight groups: a) control, b) cisplatin, c) microwave, d) microwave and lipiodol, e) cisplatin and lipiodol, f) microwave and cisplatin, g) lipiodol and h) lipiodol, cisplatin and microwave. Lewis lung carcinoma cell lines (106) were injected into the right back leg of each mouse. After the 8th day, when the tumor volume was about 100mm3 the therapy application was initiated, once per week for four weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed for each tumor when a mouse died or when sacrificed if they were still alive by the end of the experiment (8-Canal multifunctional spool; NORAS MRI products, Gmbh, Germany). Imaging and survival revealed efficient tumor apoptosis for the groups b,c,d,e and f. However; severe toxicity was observed in group h and no follow up was available for this group after the second week of therapy administration. Lipiodol in its current form does assist in a more efficient way the distribution of cisplatin, as the microwave apoptotic effect. Future modification of lipiodol might provide a more efficient method of therapy enhancement. Combination of drug and microwave ablation is possible and has an efficient apoptotic effect.

Abstract
Although surgical resection is the primary means of curing both primary and metastatic lung cancers, about 80% of lung cancers cannot be removed by surgery. As most patients with unresectable lung cancer receive only limited benefits from traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, many new local treatment methods have emerged, including local ablation therapy. The Minimally Invasive and Comprehensive Treatment of Lung Cancer Branch, Professional Committee of Minimally Invasive Treatment of Cancer of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association has organized multidisciplinary experts to develop guidelines for this treatment modality. These guidelines aim at standardizing thermal ablation procedures and criteria for selecting treatment candidates and assessing outcomes; and for preventing and managing post-ablation complications.

Abstract
Interventional oncology is an evolving branch of interventional radiology, which relies on rapidly evolving, highly sophisticated treatment tools and precise imaging guidance to target and destroy malignant tumours. The development of this field has important potential benefits for patients and the health-care system, but as a new discipline, interventional oncology has not yet fully established its place in the wider field of oncology; its application does not have a comprehensive evidence base, or a clinical or quality-assurance framework within which to operate. In this regard, radiation oncology, a cornerstone of modern cancer care, has a lot of important information to offer to interventional oncologists. A strong collaboration between radiation oncology and interventional oncology, both of which aim to cure or control tumours or to relieve symptoms with as little collateral damage to normal tissue as possible, will have substantial advantages for both disciplines. A close relationship with radiation oncology will help facilitate the development of a robust quality-assurance framework and accumulation of evidence to support the integration of interventional oncology into multidisciplinary care. Furthermore, collaboration between interventional oncology and radiation oncology fields will have great benefits to practitioners, people affected by cancer, and to the wider field of oncology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies have suggested that low baseline quality-of-life (QOL) scores predict worse survival in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. However, these studies involved average-risk patients undergoing lobectomy. We report QOL results from a multicenter trial, American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z4032, which randomized high-risk operable patients to sublobar resection (SR), or SR with brachytherapy, and included longitudinal QOL assessments. METHODS Global QOL, using the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF36), and the dyspnea score from the University of California, San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (SOBQ) scale, was measured at baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months. SF36 physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores were standardized and adjusted for age and gender normals, with scores <50 indicating below-average health status. SOBQ scores were transformed to a 0-100 (poor-excellent) scale. Aims were to: (1) determine the impact of baseline scores on recurrence-free survival, overall survival, and 30-day adverse events (AEs); and (2) identify subgroups (surgical approach, resection type. tumor location, tumor size, respiratory function) with a ≥ 10-point decline or improvement in QOL after SR. RESULTS Two hundred twelve eligible patients were included. There were no significant differences in baseline QOL scores between arms. Median baseline PCS, MCS, and SOBQ scores were 42.7, 51.1, and 70.8, respectively. There were no differences in grade-3+ AEs, overall survival, or recurrence-free survival in patients with baseline scores ≤ median versus > median values, except for a significantly worse overall survival for patients with baseline SOBQ scores ≤ median value. There were no significant differences between the study arms in percentage change of QOL scores from baseline to 3, 12, or 24 months. Further comparison combining the 2 arms demonstrated a higher percentage of patients with a ≥ 10-point decline in SOBQ scores with segmentectomy compared with wedge resection (40.5% vs 21.9%, P = .03) at 12 months, with thoracotomy versus video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) (38.8% vs 20.4%, P = .03) at 12 months, and T1b versus T1a tumors (46.9% vs 23.5%, P = .020) at 24 months. A ≥ 10-point improvement in PCS score was seen at 3 months with VATS versus thoracotomy (16.5% vs 3.6%, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS In high-risk operable patients, poor baseline QOL scores were not predictive for worse overall or recurrence-free survival, or for higher risk for AEs following SR. VATS was associated with improvement in physical function at 3 months, and improved dyspnea scores at 12 months, lending support for the preferential use of VATS when SR is undertaken.
