MWA and thoracoscopic lobectomy for stage I NSCLC demonstrate similar one and two-year OS and DFS, with no significant differences between the two groups. MWA involved a shorter hospital stay and lower cost, thus should be considered a better option for patients with severe cardiopulmonary comorbidity and patients unwilling to undergo surgery.
