[PMID: 39988332 DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2025.2468764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2024] [Revised: 12/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2025] [Indexed: 02/25/2025] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of co-ablation (Co-A) for lung malignancies in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 1,537 consecutive patients treated for malignant lung tumors. UIP was assessed using standard-dose computed tomography (CT). Overall, 14 patients (12 men and two women; mean age ± standard deviation: 71.68 ± 7.83 years, range: 60-87 years) with UIP underwent CT-guided percutaneous Co-A. The mean tumor size was 29.14 mm (standard deviation: 12.60; range: 12-45 mm). Follow-up was performed using CT 1 and 3 months after Co-A. Complications and safety outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS The median follow-up duration for all patients was 3 months (range: 1-5 months). The mortality rate was 0% within 30 d of ablation. Major complications, including pneumonia and bronchopleural fistula, occurred in 14.3% (2/14) of patients. The technical success rate was 100%. CONCLUSION Co-A appears to be a safe and effective treatment for lung malignancies in patients with UIP.

Eur Radiol 2024; 34:4708-4715. [PMID: 38114848 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10510-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted in patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who underwent CT-guided MWA from Nov 2016 to Oct 2021. The patients were divided into the IPF group and the non-IPF group. The primary endpoints were 90-day adverse events and hospital length of stay (HLOS). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS A total of 107 patients (27 with IPF and 80 without IPF) were finally included for analysis. No procedure-related acute exacerbation of IPF or death occurred post-MWA. The rates of adverse events were similar between the groups (48.6% vs. 47.7%; p = 0.998). The incidence of grade 3 adverse events in the IPF group was higher than that in the non-IPF group without a significant difference (13.5% vs. 4.6%; p = 0.123). Median HLOS was 5 days in both groups without a significant difference (p = 0.078). The 1-year and 3-year OS were 85.2%/51.6% in the IPF group, and 97.5%/86.4% in the non-IPF group. The survival of patients with IPF was significantly poorer than the survival of patients without IPF (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference for PFS (p = 0.271). CONCLUSION MWA was feasible in the treatment of stage I NSCLC in patients with IPF. IPF had an adverse effect on the survival of stage I NSCLC treated with MWA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT CT-guided microwave ablation is a well-tolerated and effective potential alternative treatment for stage I non-small cell lung cancer in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. KEY POINTS • Microwave ablation for stage I non-small cell lung cancer was well-tolerated without procedure-related acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and death in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. • No differences were observed in the incidence of adverse events between patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and those without idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis after microwave ablation (48.6% vs. 47.7%; p = 0.998). • The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates (85.2%/51.6%) in the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis group were worse than those in the non- idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis group (97.5%/86.4%) (p < 0.001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to describe lesion-specific management of thoracic tumors referred for consideration of image-guided thermal ablation (IGTA) at a newly established multidisciplinary ablation conference. METHODS This retrospective single-center cohort study included consecutive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or thoracic metastases evaluated from June 2020 to January 2022 in a multidisciplinary conference. Outcomes included the management recommendation, treatments received (IGTA, surgical resection, stereotactic body radiation therapy [SBRT], multimodality management), and number of tumors treated per patient. Pearson's chi-square test was used to assess for a change in management, and Poisson regression was used to compare the number of tumors by treatment received. RESULTS The study included 172 patients (58 % female; median age, 69 years; 56 % thoracic metastases; 27 % multifocal primary lung cancer; 59 % ECOG 0 [range, 0-3]) assessed in 206 evaluations. For the patients with NSCLC, IGTA was considered the most appropriate local therapy in 12 %, equal to SBRT in 22 %, and equal to lung resection in 3 % of evaluations. For the patients with thoracic metastases, IGTA was considered the most appropriate local therapy in 22 %, equal to SBRT in 12 %, and equal to lung resection in 3 % of evaluations. Although all patients were referred for consideration of IGTA, less than one third of patients with NSCLC or thoracic metastases underwent IGTA (p < 0.001). Multimodality management allowed for treatment of more tumors per patient than single-modality management (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Multidisciplinary evaluation of patients with thoracic tumors referred for consideration of IGTA significantly changed patient management and facilitated lesion-specific multimodality management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) facilitates accurate probe placement in percutaneous ablation of lung tumors but may increase risk for adverse events, including systemic air embolism. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare major adverse events and procedural efficiency of percutaneous lung ablation with HFJV under general anesthesia to spontaneous respiration (SR) under moderate sedation. METHODS. This retrospective study included consecutive adults who underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation of one or more lung tumors with HFJV or SR between January 1, 2017, and May 31, 2023. We compared major adverse events (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3) within 30 days postprocedure and hospital length of stay (HLOS) of 2 days or more using logistic regression analysis. We compared procedure time, room time, CT guidance acquisition time, CT guidance radiation dose, total radiation dose, and pneumothorax using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS. Overall, 139 patients (85 women, 54 men; median age, 68 years) with 310 lung tumors (82% metastases) underwent 208 cryoablations (HFJV, n = 129; SR, n = 79). HFJV showed greater rates than SR for the treatment of multiple tumors per session (43% vs 19%, respectively; p = .02) and tumors in a nonperipheral location (48% vs 24%, p < .001). Major adverse event rate was 8% for HFJV and 5% for SR (p = .46). No systemic air embolism occurred. HLOS was 2 days or more in 17% of sessions and did not differ significantly between HFJV and SR (p = .64), including after adjusting for probe number per session, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and operator experience (p = .53). Ventilation modalities showed no significant difference in procedure time, CT guidance acquisition time, CT guidance radiation dose, or total radiation dose (all p > .05). Room time was longer for HFJV than SR (median, 154 vs 127 minutes, p < .001). For HFJV, the median anesthesia time was 136 minutes. Ventilation modalities did not differ in the frequencies of pneumothorax or pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement (both p > .05). CONCLUSION. HFJV appears to be as safe as SR but had longer room times. HFJV can be used in complex cases without significantly impacting HLOS of 2 days or more, procedure time, or radiation exposure. CLINICAL IMPACT. Selection of the ventilation modality during percutaneous lung ablation should be based on patient characteristics and anticipated procedural requirements as well as operator preference.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy with which the iceball predicts the realized ablation zone in patients undergoing cryoablation of the liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS Continuous patients who underwent cryoablation of primary or secondary malignancies of the liver were retrospectively reviewed. Iceball and ablation zone dimensions on 1 month follow up imaging were collected in three orientations, the long axis (LA), perpendicular transverse (PTR), and perpendicular craniocaudal (PCC). Factors which may predict differences in the measurements were evaluated with regression analysis. Oncologic outcomes were also collected. RESULTS The mean size of the iceball was 5.5 ± 1.1 cm, 3.9 ± 1.1 cm, and 4.4 ± 1.4 cm in the LA, PTR, and PCC orientations, respectively. The mean size of the one-month ablation cavity was 4.3 ± 1.3 cm, 3 ± 1.1 cm, and 3 ± 1.3 cm in the LA, PTR, and PCC orientations, respectively. The iceball was significantly larger than the ablation zone in all orientations (p < 0.001). When comparing HCC and non-HCC patients the Kaplan-Meier analysis of TTLP, the Kaplan Meier curves deviated significantly (p = 0.015, HR 2.26 (95%CI 1.17-4.37)). When a similar analysis was performed looking at TTP again the curves diverged significantly (p = 0.002, HR 2.4 (95%CI 1.37-4.19)). CONCLUSION The iceball seems to overestimate the realized ablation zone by about 1 cm in all orientations during hepatic cryoablation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Treatment options for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who develop stage I-II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are severely limited, given that surgical resection, radiation, and systemic therapy are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous ablation of stage I-II NSCLC in patients with ILD. METHODS. This retrospective study included patients with ILD and stage I-II NSCLC treated with percutaneous ablation in three health systems between October 2004 and February 2023. At each site, a single thoracic radiologist, blinded to clinical outcomes, reviewed preprocedural chest CT examinations for the presence and type of ILD according to 2018 criteria proposed by the American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society, Japanese Respiratory Society, and Latin American Thoracic Society. The primary outcome was 90-day major (grade ≥ 3) adverse events, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay (HLOS), local tumor control, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS. The study included 33 patients (19 men, 14 women; median age, 78 years; 16 patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1) with ILD who underwent 42 percutaneous ablation sessions (21 cryoablations, 11 radiofrequency ablations, 10 microwave ablations) of 43 NSCLC tumors ((median tumor size, 1.6 cm; IQR, 1.4-2.5 cm; range, 0.7-5.4 cm; 37 stage I, six stage II). The extent of lung fibrosis was 20% or less in 24 patients; 17 patients had imaging findings of definite or probable usual interstitial pneumonia. The 90-day major adverse event rate was 14% (6/42), including one CTCAE grade 4 event. No acute ILD exacerbation or death occurred within 90 days after ablation. The median HLOS was 1 day (IQR, 0-2 days). Median imaging follow-up for local tumor control was 17 months (IQR, 11-32 months). Median imaging or clinical follow-up for OS was 16 months (IQR, 6-26 months). Local tumor control and OS were 78% and 77%, respectively, at 1 year and 73% and 46% at 2 years. CONCLUSION. Percutaneous ablation appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for stage I-II NSCLC in the setting of ILD after multidisciplinary selection. CLINICAL IMPACT. Patients with ILD and stage I-II NSCLC should be considered for percutaneous ablation given that they are frequently ineligible for surgical resection, radiation, and systemic therapy.

Abstract
Patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) are prone to develop a variety of malignancies due to insufficient activity of the encoded tumor suppressor protein P53, including adrenocortical carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and sarcoma. In the setting of LFS, local treatment options for lung metastases are limited to surgery and thermal ablation since radiotherapy and some systemic therapies predispose patients to additional future malignancies. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with LFS with leiomyosarcoma metastases to both lungs who underwent bilateral wedge resections to treat a total of eight lung metastases followed by six percutaneous cryoablation sessions to treat 15 additional lung metastases over a period of 24 months. Our case demonstrates the option of multimodal local ablative therapies for lung metastases in patients with LFS, including percutaneous cryoablation.
