Abstract

The standard treatment of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection. Some patients are poor surgical candidates due to severe comorbid medical conditions. Radiotherapy alone has historically been used in this patient population with limited success. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an image-guided, thermally mediated ablative technique recently applied to lung tumors. Combination therapy with both these treatments has not been previously performed. We report our experience with combined CT-guided RFA and conventional radiotherapy in 24 medically inoperable patients with a minimum of 2-year study follow-up in surviving patients. Twenty-four consecutive, medically inoperable patients with biopsy-proven, stage I NSCLC were treated with CT-guided RFA followed by radiotherapy to a dose of 66 Gy. RFA was performed with a single or cluster cool-tip F electrode; 21 patients were staged before therapy using fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography. There were 14 women and 10 men (median age, 76 years; range, 58 to 85 years). The histologic subtypes were squamous cell (n = 13), adenocarcinoma (n = 5), and undifferentiated (n = 6). All patients received RFA followed by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy...Continue Reading
