Assessment of the Effectiveness of Local Ablathermy Radio Frequency Bronchial Tumors Primitive (PARF2008)

January 12, 2021 updated by: Institut Bergonié

Assessment of the Effectiveness of Local Ablathermy Radio Frequency (RF) Bronchial Tumors Primitive Stage IA Non-surgical Patients. Phase II Multicenter National

Lung tumors of non-small cell stage 1A are usually treated surgically but many patients are not operable because of their condition or respiratory problems associated with it. The treatment is then suggested that local radiotherapy is conventionally carried out in split mode for 6 weeks at a dose of 60-65 Gy irradiation mode This exposes the patient to complications, including post-radiation pneumonitis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Lung tumors of non-small cell stage 1A are usually treated surgically but many patients are not operable because of their condition or respiratory problems associated with it.

The treatment is then suggested that local radiotherapy is conventionally carried out in split mode for 6 weeks at a dose of 60-65 Gy irradiation mode This exposes the patient to complications, including post-radiation pneumonitis.

This can be problematic in patients with respiratory failure for which surgical treatment has been challenged. Radiofrequency pulmonary developed as a therapeutic alternative, it has the advantage of being performed in a session with less toxicity in the lung parenchyma

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Radiofrequency ablathermy
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
Computed tomography (CT) was used to treat tumors under general anesthesia. Thoracic epidural anesthesia was administered in case of contraindication to general anesthesia mostly due to poor respiratory function. All patients were treated with the same multitine electrodes (LeVeen; Boston Scientific, Nattick. MA) measuring 3, 3.5, or 4 cm in diameter and at least 10 mm larger than the diameter of the target tumor. Multiple overlapping ablations were performed, when needed, in different parts of the tumor in order to cover the entire volume.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Local Tumor Control Rate 1 Year After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Time Frame: one year after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
local control is defined as the absence of progression of the ablated site. rate is defined as the number of alive patient without local progression divided by the number of patients alive at one year.
one year after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Local Tumor Control Rate 3 Years After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Time Frame: three years after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
local control is defined as the absence of progression of the ablated site. rate is defined as the number of alive patient without local progression divided by the number of patients alive at thee years.
three years after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
1-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate
Time Frame: 1 year after RFA
OS was defined as the time from RFA treatment to death, whatever the cause. If the patient was still alive at the end of study or lost to follow-up, the patient was censored at the date of last news. 1-year overall survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.
1 year after RFA
3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate
Time Frame: 3 years after RFA
OS was defined as the time from RFA treatment to death, whatever the cause. If the patient was still alive at the end of study or lost to follow-up, the patient was censored at the date of last news.
3 years after RFA
