The median overall survival after RFA treatment was 36 months and 5\u2010year overall survival rates of 30%. Univariate analyses demonstrated that histopathological grade (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001), time to RFA treatment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .017), response to treatment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001), repeat RFA treatments (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .001), presence of extrapulmonary metastases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001), presence of mediastinal lymphadenopathy (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .007), and adjunct systemic chemotherapy (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) were associated with overall survival.
