title: [POSSIBILITIES OF THE RAOIOFREQUENCY ABLATION METHOD IN TREATMENT OF PULMONARY AND PLEURAL MALIGNANCIES].
abstract: Various methods of radiofrequency ablation, using FOTEK-150 apparatus, were applied in 74 patients for pulmonary and pleural malignancies. Immediate positive effect was achieved in 92% observations, complications have occurred in 13% patients. It is expedient to use the method in patients, suffering pulmonary and pleural malignancies, when radical surgery is impossible. Radiofrequency ablation may be applied as a palliative method of treatment of pulmonary and pleural malignancies.
