Brief Summary

Lung metastasectomy is the only therapeutic option to provide a long-survival in patients with colorectal lung metastases. Recent studies have shown that radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a safe and useful therapeutic option for the treatment of unresectable lung metastases. In this phase-II trial, clinical utility of lung RF ablation will be evaluated in patients with resectable colorectal lung metastases.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Primary Outcome Measures:3-year survival

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Secondary Outcome measures:safety, change in respiratory function, cancer-specific survival, and local tumor progression, Radiological studies

    3 years

Study Arms (1)

Lung radiofrequency ablation

EXPERIMENTAL

A radiofrequency (RF) electrode is placed in the lung metastasis percutaneously. RF energy is applied to the tumor to induce coagulation necrosis.

Device: Lung radiofrequency ablation

Interventions

A radiofrequency (RF) electrode is placed in the lung metastasis percutaneously. RF energy is applied to the tumor to induce coagulation necrosis.

Also known as: Cool-tip radiofrequency ablation system is used.
