Image‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation of early‐stage non–small cell lung cancer

Although surgical lobectomy with systematic mediastinal lymph node evaluation is considered as the “gold standard” for management of early stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), image‐guided percutaneous thermal ablation has been increasingly used for medically inoperable patients. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a research‐based technique that has the most studies for medically inoperable early‐stage NSCLC. Other thermal ablation techniques...
