Clinical Application of CT-Guided Percutaneous Microwave Ablation for the Treatment of Lung Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer

Figure 3

A 66-year-old female with nodular lung metastatic lesion with a diameter of 2.5 cm (a). Ablation was performed after accurate insertion of MWA probe into the focus of tumor (b). The lesion reduced obviously with some fiber cable around it on 3 months follow-up (c). However, the volume of the tumor increased again on 6 months follow-up ((d) lung window; (e) soft tissue window; (f) contrast-enhanced CT), which was consistent with the description of local tumor progression.
