The majority of stage I patients received RT treatment because they were medically inoperable.

Methods: Patients who were medically inoperable were offered stereotactic radiosurgery.

Methods: Patients who were medically inoperable were offered SRS.

Objective: This study evaluated long-term results of radiofrequency ablation for medically inoperable early-stage lung cancer.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy is an emerging treatment option for peripheral non-small cell lung cancer in medically inoperable patients.

Conclusions: Recent advances support the use of MR imaging and 3D planning for brachytherapy treatment for medically inoperable endometrial cancer.

Between 2002 and 2006, 10 medically inoperable patients with T1-2 endometrial carcinoma were treated with radiotherapy alone.

The high rate of comorbid medical illness and poor baseline pulmonary function in this population, however, make many such early-stage patients medically inoperable.

Conclusions: Radiofrequency ablation of medically inoperable early-stage lung cancer in carefully selected patients yields encouraging midterm results without significant loss of pulmonary function.

Thoracic surgeons can perform RFA safely, and should continue to investigate this new image-guided modality that may offer an alternative option in medically inoperable patients.
