BACKGROUND: The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for treating lung metastases from @entity189 ( @entity189 ). @entity1 AND METHODS: From December 2012 to November 2014, 17 @entity1 (15 males, and two females, averaged 45.7 years old) with lung metastases from @entity189 accepted computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous MWA. The average number of lung metastases was 1.7 (range: 1-4), and the biggest @entity5 diameter was 4.2 cm (range: 0.8-4.2 cm). Nineteen nodules located in the right lung and 10 nodules located in the left lung. A total of 29 ablation sites were performed to 29 lung metastases in 22 MWA sessions. Postoperative assessments of complete @entity5 @entity39 rate, safety, @entity5 progression, and survival period were carried out. RESULTS: Of the 29 lesions, complete response was achieved for 27 lesions; @entity41 was found in one lesion 3 months postoperatively; and another lesion was found enlarged 3-month postoperatively with obvious enhancement. Four @entity1 had a small amount of postoperative parenchyma @entity548 and two @entity1 had a small amount of pneumothorax. Six months after MWA treatment, new metastatic lesions appeared in six @entity1 , five @entity1 had new metastatic lesions inside the lung, and the other @entity1 had metastatic lesions in the thoracic vertebra. The time for the appearance of new pulmonary metastases for the five @entity1 was 4-20 months, averaged 7.2 months. CONCLUSION: CT-guided MWA is a promising treatment alternative for @entity5 control in selected @entity1 with lung metastases from @entity189 .
