Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Device: microwave ablation
Registration Number
NCT02502630
Lead Sponsor
The First People's Hospital of Changzhou
Brief Summary

(MWA) is the most recent development in the field of local ablative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate CT-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation safety and efficacy in pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

From June 2010 to June 2015, 48 unresectable lesions in 32 patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer were selected for CT-guided microwave ablation. Patients were scheduled for a 1 and 3 month CT follow-up to evaluate lesion diameter.We retrospectively evaluated CT-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation safety and efficacy in pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.
