Abstract

We describe a case of a 74-year-old male patient with squamous cell carcinoma lung who was not a candidate for surgical resection due to tumor size and multiple comorbidities. The patient underwent percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) followed by chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Post procedure, he developed tumor liquefaction and succumbed to hemorrhage. This case underscores the importance of individualized ablation planning for large tumors, optimization of ablation parameters, and careful timing of subsequent systemic therapy in order to reduce severe complications.

肺部肿瘤微波消融后肿瘤液化出血致病死率1例

我们描述了一例74岁男性鳞状细胞癌患者，由于肿瘤大小和多种合并症，他不适合手术切除。患者行经皮微波消融（MWA）后化疗及靶向治疗。手术后，他出现肿瘤液化并死于出血。该病例强调了对大肿瘤进行个体化消融计划、优化消融参数和仔细选择后续全身治疗时机的重要性，以减少严重并发症。
