TY - JOUR T1 - Inflammation caused by radiofrequency ablation for lung cancer is worse after radiotherapy and in large tumours JF - Thorax JO - Thorax SP - 998 LP - 998 VL - 63 IS - 11 AU - S Roy-Choudhury Y1 - 2008/11/01 UR - http://thorax.bmj.com/content/63/11/998.abstract N2 - The use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of solid primary and metastatic pulmonary tumours in poor-risk surgical patients is increasing. The authors report on percutaneous RFA with particular reference to inflammation-related complications in a series of 130 patients undergoing 327 ablation sessions using C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker for inflammation. RFA was performed with CT guidance using the internally-cooled impedance-modulated Cool Tip system (Valleylab, … ER -
