Thermal catalysis is a minimally invasive option for the treatment of lung malignancies in patients who are unfit or unwilling to undergo surgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
It is a new and revolutionary technique, with promising results. Currently, studies are being conducted on the benefits of this particular method and the results are more than encouraging.
Catalysis of metastases of lung tumors is carried out with a minimally invasive method. With the use of a device, a bronchocatheter is inserted into the patient, it locates the areas of the lung and after their position is precisely confirmed through a 3D scanner, it proceeds to catalysis.
With a more favorable safety profile and the ability to also provide diagnosis and nodal staging, bronchoscopic ablation is emerging as a possible future therapeutic alternative for these patients.
