What is ablation therapy for lung cancer? It is a minimally invasive treatment

Lung cancer is a very common cancer and is very harmful to the patient's health. Ablation treatment for lung cancer is a minimally invasive therapy that involves physical or chemical ablation of the tumor through the skin. The more common ablation for lung cancer is physical therapy, while chemical ablation is rarely used.

When it comes to lung cancer, everyone is familiar with it. It is a very common disease. The occurrence of this disease has caused great harm to the patient's lung health, especially to the patient's normal life and normal work. There are still many treatments for lung cancer. So, what is ablation treatment for lung cancer?
Lung cancer is a very common disease, which is very harmful to the patient's lung health. The ablation treatment for lung cancer is physical or chemical ablation of the tumor through the skin. The conventional ablation for lung cancer is physical therapy. Physical therapy mainly includes thermal ablation and cold ablation, including radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation. Cold ablation includes argon-helium knife, etc., which mainly causes tumor cell necrosis by temperature, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying the tumor. Chemical ablation is rarely used to treat lung cancer.
Ablation is a minimally invasive technique for treating solid tumors. Lung cancer patients can consider this method to treat the disease, which can not only better relieve the condition but also have fewer postoperative complications. However, ablation is not the first choice for treating non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic lung cancer. The disadvantage is that a slight deviation in percutaneous puncture of the tumor can lead to puncture failure or incomplete lesion ablation, and when the tumor is in a deeper position, the adjacent large blood vessels and bronchi may be damaged.
In the ablation treatment of lung cancer, thermal ablation is divided into radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation. Radiofrequency ablation is a more common surgical method and has obvious advantages in the liver. Microwave ablation has the advantages of fast speed, large ablation range, high ablation, and complete ablation for lung cancer. Microwave ablation does not require electrode connection. The main disadvantage of microwave ablation in the treatment of lung cancer is that it is easy to cause chest tightness and bleeding in patients.
The above content is an introduction to what ablation therapy for lung cancer is. I hope that the above content introduction will be helpful to the questions raised by everyone. It is necessary to remind everyone that although there are many treatments for lung cancer, patients need to choose the best treatment method based on their own condition.
