Precise parenchyma-sparing lung resection and ablation for the management of multifocal lung cancers: How to preserve more?

Precise parenchyma-sparing lung resection and ablation represent valuable strategies for managing multifocal lung cancers while maximizing parenchymal preservation. Augmented fluoroscopic bronchoscopy lung marking is particularly useful in cases where lung lesions are small, deep within the lung tissue, or difficult to access by traditional methods. It aids in improving the accuracy and safety of subsequent interventions, such as lung resections or biopsies, by ensuring that the targeted lesion is precisely identified and localized. Image-guided lung ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat lung tumors or lesions, particularly for patients who may not be suitable candidates for traditional surgical resection. This technique combines advanced imaging technology with precise ablation methods to target and destroy abnormal tissue within the lungs. These techniques contribute to improved postoperative lung function and overall patient well-being. This study underscores the importance of personalized approaches to lung cancer treatment and encourages the broader adoption of such strategies in clinical practice.
