Microwave Ablation for Lung Neoplasms: A Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term Results

Purpose To determine the long-term safety and efficacy of microwave (MW) ablation in the treatment of lung tumors at a single academic medical center. Materials and Methods Retrospective review was performed of 108 patients (42 female; mean age, 72.5 y ± 10.3 [standard deviation]) who underwent computed tomography (CT)–guided percutaneous MW ablation for a single lung malignancy.
