Tumor metastases are the basic biological characteristics of malignant tumors, and the lungs are the second most prominent metastatic organs in which these develop after the liver. Currently, with the rapid development of ablation technology, ablation therapy as a local treatment is playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of lung metastases.
