Combination of CT-guided multiple minimally invasive techniques for treatment of lung cancer / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of combination of CT-guided multiple minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of lung cancer. Methods All 34 patients with lung cancer (78 lesions) were treated with CT-guided physical ablation (39 lesions), chemical ablation (14 lesions) and/or 125I seed implantation (25 lesions). The efficacy and safety of the treatment were evaluated. Results CT-guided minimally invasive treatments were successfully performed in all 34 patients. During operation, a small amount of hemoptysis occurred in 5 patients, while mild to moderate pain were observed in 4 patients. Pneumothorax occurred in 4 patients after operation. No serious complication,such as massive hemorrhage or bronchial pleural fistula occurred intraoperation nor postoperation. According to the follow-up with CT, there were 69 (69/78, 88.46%) significantly effective lesions, 5 (5/78, 6.41%) stable lesions and 4 (4/78, 5.13%) advanced lesions. Conclusion Combination of CT-guided multiple minimally invasive techniques are safe and effective for treating lung tumor.
