Article Abstract
Although surgical resection is the primary means of curing both primary and metastatic lung cancers, about 80% of lung cancers cannot be removed by surgery. As most patients with unresectable lung cancer receive only limited benefits from traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, many new local treatment methods have emerged, including local ablation therapy. The Minimally Invasive and Comprehensive Treatment of Lung Cancer Branch, Professional Committee of Minimally Invasive Treatment of Cancer of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association has organized multidisciplinary experts to develop guidelines for this treatment modality. These guidelines aim at standardizing thermal ablation procedures and criteria for selecting treatment candidates and assessing outcomes; and for preventing and managing post-ablation complications.

Background: In catheter-based radiofrequency ablation (RFA), energy is delivered to heterogeneous thin-walled tissues to induce therapeutic heating. Variations in electrical and mechanical properties of tissue contents have a great effect on outcomes.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to develop models that replicate tissue heterogeneity and visualize ablation zones for effective evaluation and optimization.

ObjectiveLower extremity varicose veins are a common chronic venous disorder, affecting approximately 23% of adults globally. Although endovenous thermal ablation, particularly radiofrequency ablation (RFA), has become the preferred treatment, post-procedural deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a concern. The necessity of pharmacologic prophylaxis following RFA remains controversial.

Cervical cancer continues to be a major global threat to women's health, with approximately 660,000 women diagnosed annually, 94% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The high disease burden in LMICs is partly due to suboptimal adoption and widespread implementation of effective preventive interventions. This study explored drivers of implementation success and failure for a future single-visit, screen, and treat approach with thermal ablation (SV-SAT + TA), referred to as TIBA in Kenya.

Purpose: To analyze the effects of ablation interruption on ablation depths and clinical refractive outcomes to characterize the impact of ambient temperature changes and ablation interruption on ocular surface temperature (OST) during excimer laser ablation.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted on laser ablations in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) plates and porcine corneas to simulate laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatments using the EX500 laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) at ambient temperatures of 18, 20, and 22 °C. Ablation interruption was performed for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 seconds at the 10th second of the treatment of -9.
