Abstract
Aim of the work. Analysis of the possibilities of the different methods of RFA of lung and pleura tumors.
Material and methods. There were considered the different methods of radio-frequency ablations using FOTEK-150 apparatus in 186 patients with the malignant tumors of lungs and pleura.
Results. In the result of use of the different methods of radio-frequency ablation the direct positive effect was attained in 91 % of observations. The complications were observed in 9 % of patients. This method must be used for patients with the malignant tumors of lungs and pleura when the radical surgical treatment is impossible.
Conclusions. The radio-frequency ablation can be used as a palliative method of treatment of the malignant tumors of lungs and pleura.
