| Popis: | Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (UgPMWA) for palliative treatment of advanced head and neck malignancies. Materials and methods This study includes 18 consecutive patients with advanced head and neck malignancies (n = 24), who have undergone UgPMWA for palliative treatment at our institution from December 2016 to April 2020. The maximum diameter and volume of the tumor were assessed by US, CT or MRI before microwave ablation (MWA), 1, 3 and 6 months after MWA and every 6 months thereafter. The quality of life was clinically assessed by the University of Washington Head and Neck Quality of Life questionnaire (UW-QOl). Results The success rate of tumor-targeting microwave antenna placement was 100%. No nerve injury and serious complications or death occurred during the perioperative period. The follow-up duration varied from 1 month to 38 months (11.56 ± 10.23 months) among patients. By the last follow-up before submission, the value of maximum diameter (5.00 ± 2.90 vs 3.28 ± 2.11 cm. p |
