Background: To evaluate the analgesic effects between thoracic epidural block (TEB) and conscious sedation with intercostal nerve block (CSINB) in patients undergoing thermal lung tumor ablation.
Methods: Medical records of patients with primary or secondary lung tumors who underwent thermal lung tumor ablation between 2011 and 2022 were reviewed. Primary outcome measures were pain intensity evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and additional morphine use within 48 hours after the procedure.

Aim: To assess whether ultrasound (US)-guided intercostal nerve blocks (ICNBs) provide non-inferior efficacy in the management of acute zoster pain (ZAP) and potential prophylaxis for post-herpetic neuralgia as compared to conventional thoracic paravertebral blocks (TPVBs).
Material And Methods: A total of 192 patients with ZAP were reviewed. Their records were stratified into two cohorts: those who underwent US-guided TPVBs (TPVB cohort) and those who received US-guided ICNBs (ICNB cohort).

Objective: To identify risk factors and develop a validated nomogram for predicting pneumothorax after CT-guided coaxial biopsy with synchronous Microwave Ablation (MWA) in Ground-Glass Nodules (GGNs).
Methods: 383 GGN patients were divided into a training set (n = 268) and a validation set (n = 115) in a 7:3 ratio. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were employed to identify risk factors, followed by the construction of a nomogram model.

Background: With advances in lung cancer management, there is a growing need for larger tissue samples to enable tumor genomic analysis and characterization.This study aims to determine whether the core number obtained during Ultrasound-guided percutaneous lung core needle biopsy(US-PLCNB) is associated with post-procedural complications.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled consecutive patients who underwent US-PLCNB for subpleural primary lung cancer at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital between July 2019 and September 2021.

Elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often have limited tolerance for standard therapies and experience reduced efficacy with lower-intensity treatments. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of single-agent chemotherapy combined with either microwave ablation (MWA) or radioactive iodine-125 seed ablation brachytherapy (RSABT) as first-line treatments, aiming to establish personalized, high-efficacy, and low-toxicity options for this vulnerable population. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 128 untreated elderly patients with advanced NSCLC from November 2013 to November 2023.
