Brief Summary
Patients with sarcoma and lung metastases have few therapeutic options, with poor response to systemic treatment. Many of them are not eligible to surgical treatments due to the high number and distribution of pulmonary lesions or due to comorbidities, which reduce the survival chances of these individuals. Given the high efficacy and overall increased survival demonstrated by recent studies, the minimally invasive treatments (mainly radiofrequency ablation) have gained ground. Although the microwave ablation is a promising new technique for the treatment of patients with pulmonary metastases, there are few studies in the literature to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in the above population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Survival
Patients with sarcoma pulmonary metastases who are treated with microwave ablation of lung lesions may have higher overall survival rates compared to patients not subject to any kind of treatment or even chemotherapy/ palliative treatment. The literature contains data favorable to treating these patients with microwave ablation, since higher survival rates have been observed, especially when handled all lung lesions (R0).

Microwave ablation arm
EXPERIMENTALSingle arm patients with lung sarcoma metastasis that will be treated with microwave ablation
Interventions
Lung metastasis from sarcoma will be treated with microwave antennas (SOLERO) and Ablation System and microwave generators (Angiodynamics), with power settings of 35-45W and an average ablation time of 15 minutes (range 10-30 minutes). The ablation time will be recorded for all procedures. The manufacturer's recommendations will be observed in all cases, since it is assured that patients are able to tolerate the total ablation time.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients over 18 years;
- Patients with lung metastases arising from sarcoma;
- Patients who are not eligible for surgery for medical reasons, including limited cardiopulmonary reserve. In this cases we will perform a pulmonary function test (PFT) to determine if the patient can withstand ablation;
- Patients with recurrent metastases after pneumectomy or metastases after surgical resection. In this cases we will perform a PFT to determine if the patient can withstand ablation;
- Patients with pulmonary lesions with dimensions up to 3,0 cm in the largest axial diameter;
- Patients with four or fewer lesions. In cases of bilateral metastases, we will evaluate the treatment of only one lung at a time, with an interval of at least two weeks for the treatment of the contralateral lung, respecting the clinical evolution of the patient.
- Patients with no extrapulmonary metastases or just indolent extrapulmonary disease;
- Patients with prior histopathological confirmation of pulmonary lesions.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with primary disease without clinical control;
- Presence of uncontrolled extrapulmonary disease, including lymph node progression;
- Presence of hilar lesions or near the main bronchi;
- Presence of five or more lung lesions and/or lesions larger than 3,0 cm in greatest axial length;
- Presence of tumors infiltrating the chest wall, mediastinal and/or pleural dissemination;
- Patients with severe coagulopathy (international normalized ratio (INR) \> 1,5 or lower platelet count to 50000/mm³);
- Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stage III/ IV;
- Patients with septicemia;
- Patients refusing ablation treatment or participation in the study.
