“…The rate of pneumothorax in this study (38%) is within the reported range for cryoablation (12%-62%) (6,8,13,(20)(21)(22) and equivalent to that reported in a metaanalysis for RF ablation (23). The percentage of cases in this study in which chest tube placement was required (15%) is higher than average for percutaneous cryoablation (8,22), is 5% above the average for RF ablation (23,24), but is equivalent to the reported rate for microwave ablation (25).…”

“…Following cryoablation (n = 46 patients) complete response is reported in 83.7% of cases (24-month follow-up) (33). For laser-induced thermal ablation too, only individual case series are available to date; fiveyear survival following treatment of pulmonary metastases (64 patients) is 27% (21).…”

SUMMARYBackground: About 50 000 new cases of non-small-cell carcinoma of the lung are diagnosed in Germany each year. More than 20% of the affected patients cannot be offered radical resection because of comorbidity alone. The lung is also the second most common site of distant metastases of extrathoracic tumors; it is the only site of such metastases in 20% of cases. In recent years, image-guided thermoablation has been used with increasing frequency in patients who are unable to undergo surgery for medical reasons.

“…Prior reports have focused on the feasibility, safety, and local control rate of CT-guided cryoablation of lung tumors in general; however, these reports provided no detailed information regarding tumor location and did not discuss the issues relevant to the treatment of central tumors (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Wang et al (19) placed straight cryoablation applicators into tumors tandem to a guidance needle outside the CT gantry, as their CT gantry could not accommodate the entire length of straight cryoablation applicators.…”

“…Heat-based ablation methods may not be safe in the treatment of central lung tumors because of a possibility of bronchial disruption or perforation, which may result in bronchopleural fistula formation (19). Although cryoablation has been used to treat lung malignancies (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31), there are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous cryoablation of central lung tumors. In this study, we describe our experience with CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation of central lung tumors and the role of ice ball monitoring.…”
