Abstract
Rationale and Objectives
The objective of this study was to measure the safety and efficacy of thermal ablation, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), for patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials and Methods
The databases PubMed was searched from inception to November 2023 to identify relevant studies. Statistical analyses were performed with R version 3. 6. 3.
Results
Thirty-three studies involving 1400 patients were finally included. According to our study, the incidence of patients with stage I NSCLC who were older than 60 years old was 98 % (95 % CI [94–100 %]); the lesions were mostly located in RUL (Right Upper Lobe) and LUL (Left Upper Lobe), and the incidence of the two sites was 29 % (95 % CI [23–35 %]) and 27 % (95 % CI [21–33 %]), respectively; the types of lung cancers mainly included adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma, and large-cell lung cancer, of which adenocarcinoma accounted for the largest proportion of 63 % (95 % CI [56–70 %]); the causes of death were mainly categorized into cancer-related (57 %, 95 %CI[40–74 %]) and noncancer-related (40 %, 95 %CI [23–58 %]); the common complications in the postoperative period were pneumothorax and pain, with the incidence of 33 % (95 %CI[24–44 %]) and 33 % (95 %CI[19–50 %]), and the rate of the postoperative complications in MWA was slightly higher than those in RFA; the local recurrence rate was 23 % (95 %CI[17–29 %]) and the distant recurrence rate was 18 % (95 %CI[7–32 %]); the pooling result showed the rate of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate were 96 %, 81 %, 68 %, and 42 %, the Cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 98 %, 88 %, 75 %, and 58 %, Disease-free survival (DFS) rates at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 87 %, 63 %, 57 %, and 42 %, there were no significant differences existed between the RFA group and MWA group in survival rate, CSS and DFS.
Conclusion
Ablation therapy is safe and effective for stage I NSCLC patient. MWA and RFA have comparable efficacy, safety, and prognosis, which could be recommended for patients with stageⅠNSCLC, especially for patients who cannot tolerate open surgery.
