The RFA group exhibited longer overall survival (OS) time (mean difference [MD]: 1.95 [0.43, 3.48] months) and progression\u2010free survival (PFS) time (MD: 3.00 [2.31, 3.69] months) compared to the MWA group. Progression\u2010free survival rates (PFSR) at 1 and 2\u2009years were superior in the RFA group, with the advantage of PFSR increasing with prolonged survival time. However, the ablation duration (MD: 5.78 [3.54, 8.01] min) was longer in the RFA group. Both groups showed similar rates of recurrence, complete ablation (initial and subsequent sessions), total complications, as well as grade 1\u20132 and grade 3\u20134 complications. The top 5 complications in the total population were pneumothorax (26.63%), pleural effusion (17.22%), subcutaneous emphysema (14.31%), intra\u2010alveolar haemorrhage (9.72%), and post\u2010ablation syndrome (8.88%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>RFA appears to be more effective than MWA in the treatment of LC\/LM, showing improved survival (OS and PFS) and comparable safety.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.19376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]],"date-time":"2024-12-27T11:24:08Z","timestamp":1735298648000},"page":"56-65","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Radiofrequency ablation versus microwave ablation for lung cancer\/lung metastases: a meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Xiaomei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology Jiujiang Third People's Hospital  Jiujiang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuting","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology Jiujiang Third People's Hospital  Jiujiang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huimin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology Leping Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital  Leping China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqin","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology Leping Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital  Leping China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8747-5023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Youguo","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology Leping Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital  Leping China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21820"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2024.01.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16071410"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resinv.2022.01.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lungcan.2022.12.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diii.2019.07.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","first-page":"105","article-title":"Ablation techniques in non\u2010small cell lung cancer patients: experience of a single center","volume":"26","author":"Botsa E","year":"2022","journal-title":"Hippokratia"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11547-011-0741-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1759-7714.12822"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.23.30300"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11547-022-01508-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12032-017-0946-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","first-page":"820","article-title":"Ablation therapy of non\u2010colorectal cancer lung metastases: retrospective analysis of tumour response post\u2010laser\u2010induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA)","volume":"33","author":"Nour\u2010Eldin NA","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int.
