Standardizing percutaneous Microwave Ablation in the treatment of Lung Tumors: a prospective multicenter trial (MALT study).

• Percutaneous MWA treatment of primary and secondary lung tumors is a repeatable, safe, and effective therapeutic option. • It provides a fairly reproducible performance on both the long and short axis of the ablation zone. • When using pre-defined treatment duration and power settings according to tumor histology and size, LPR does not increase with increasing tumor size (up to 4 cm) for both primary and metastatic tumors.
