Abstract
Lung cancer remains the primary cause of cancer-related mortality globally. In the case of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection, such as lobectomy and sub-lobectomy, continues to be the established standard treatment. However, for patients with insufficient cardiopulmonary function and multiple comorbidities who are unable to undergo surgical resection, nonoperative local therapies, including radiotherapy and thermal ablation, are preferred. In recent years, microwave ablation (MWA) has gained popularity for treating early-stage NSCLC due to its high heating efficiency, good tissue conductance, and heat conduction capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current efficacy and safety data regarding MWA for early-stage NSCLC and discusses the potential benefits of combining MWA with other therapies.

J Cancer Res Ther 2023; 19:1669-1674. [PMID: 38156936 DOI: 10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_2048_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the changes in pulmonary function after computed tomography (CT)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in patients with a malignant lung tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2020 to January 2022, 133 patients with a malignant lung tumor who underwent CT-guided percutaneous MWA were included in the study. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed before (the baseline) and 1 month after the MWA. Vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1%, maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF), and diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO-SB) at 1 month post MWA were compared with that at the baseline. The time of procedure and post-procedure length of hospital stay were also recorded. RESULTS The mean VC, FVC, FEV1, FEV1%, MMEF, and DLCO-SB at the baseline and 1 month post MWA were 3.23 ± 0.75 and 3.22 ± 0.77 (P = 0.926), 3.20 ± 0.75 and 3.21 ± 0.77 (P = 0.702), 2.35 ± 0.70 and 2.35 ± 0.71 (P = 0.992), 91.97 ± 23.14 and 91.87 ± 23.16 (P = 0.837), 1.83 ± 0.93 and 1.81 ± 0.95 (P = 0.476), and 6.38 ± 1.67 and 6.32 ± 1.62 (P = 0.389), respectively. There was no significant difference in the PFT results before and 1 month post MWA. The mean time of procedure and post-MWA length of hospital stay were 33 min and 2.5 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MWA is a lung parenchyma-sparing local treatment, and pulmonary function at 1 month post MWA was not statistically different from the baseline, indicating that MWA may not affect pulmonary function.
