Implication

Retrospective analysis evaluates microwave ablation outcomes in lung cancer post video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, suggesting effective management for residual nodules.

Key Points

The study shows a 100% technical success rate for microwave ablation after VATS, ensuring effective treatment for lung cancer.
Complications occurred in 20.8% of cases with pneumothorax being the most common at 12.3%, indicating relatively low adverse outcomes.
A total of 216 patients were treated, and the median follow-up was 58.5 months, demonstrating impressive long-term overall survival rates.
CT-guided microwave ablation is deemed a safe and effective treatment option for patients not suitable for reoperation.
