Multicentre study of microwave ablation for pulmonary oligorecurrence after radical resection of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Background: Microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective minimally invasive technique for lung tumours. We aim to evaluate its role for pulmonary oligorecurrence after radical surgery of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: From June 2012 to Jan 2020, a total of 103 patients with pulmonary oligorecurrence after previous radical surgical resection of NSCLC were retrospectively analysed.
