Effect of CT-guided microwave ablation for non-small cell lung cancer combined with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective: To investigate the perioperative complications and safety of microwave ablation (MA) therapy for patient's non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) combined with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: A total of 28 patients with NSCLC combined with severe COPD in our center were analyzed for complications during MA therapy and post-treatment outcomes.
