Enhanced recovery using lung tumour thermal ablation in scleroderma associated interstitial lung disease
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Image-guided thermal ablation is an alternative treatment for non-small cell lung cancer and can be performed in patients for whom general anaesthesia is not desired or contraindicated. This minimally invasive treatment is a promising approach in patients with early-stage lung cancer who are considered inoperable due to comorbidities. This short report describes an improved thermal ablation technique that considers the complexity of treating lung carcinoma in scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease.
