Can international lung cancer patients travel to China for microwave ablation?

Yes, international patients can seek assessment for interventional cancer treatment in China. Suitability depends on the tumor's location, size, anatomy, previous treatments, overall health and the specific clinical objective. A specialist review of medical records and imaging should take place before travel.

Can microwave ablation be used when lung cancer is blocking the airway?

Microwave ablation can be used in selected circumstances to destroy targeted tumor tissue. When a tumor is obstructing a major airway, the treatment approach depends on the exact location and extent of the obstruction and may involve bronchoscopy, ablation, stenting or other interventional techniques.

How can I find out whether this type of treatment is suitable for my lung cancer?

Start with your pathology report, recent CT or PET-CT scans, bronchoscopy reports and previous treatment records. ChinaCureLink can arrange a medical-record review with an appropriate Chinese specialist and determine whether an interventional treatment pathway should be considered.
