Resumen
Up to 56% of lung cancer patients present with metastatic disease at initial diagnosis. Whereas these patients were historically deemed incurable, recent evidence supports the use of thermal ablation in stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma with limited sites of metastasis (oligometastatic disease). In this review, we discuss the main results (local efficacy, overall survival, progression-free survival, safety and quality of life) of studies evaluating thermal ablation as a local ablative therapy for oligometastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma.
