Abstract

Thoracic surgical professors from the Faculty performed Asia-Pacific’s first non-invasive Bronchoscopic Microwave Ablation (BMA) in a hybrid operating room for lung cancer treatment. Combining hybrid operating room thoracic procedures with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, our world-renowned experts delivered a BMA probe right into the lung tumors and used microwave energy emitted from the catheter tip to destroy cancer cells.

Patients this non-invasive technique were all discharged home one to two days after the procedure without scars and with no complications.
