Case reportLimited Surgery and Radiofrequency Ablation for Recurrent Lung Cancer
Section snippets
Comment
Recently the opportunity for limited surgery for early, recurrent, or metastatic lung cancer has been increasing. However, in this surgical mode, narrow resection margins remain a concern. Usually limited surgery is performed to maintain a macroscopically safe margin, and frozen-section histologic examination is routinely performed. However, the resected line of limited surgery cannot always be sufficiently wide owing to anatomic, physiologic, or technical reasons, especially when the patient
