Why is it important?
This is a first report of microwave ablation of lung metastases in a child using jet flow ventilation and a stereotactic system for CT guided targeting.
Perspectives
A new field of immun activating drugs for treating advanced cancers is opening up and this case report is supportive of the concept of immune system activation with a local ablative procedure followed by immune response stimulation
