The most common adverse effects of<unk>  for lung tumors include pain, fever, pneumothorax, and pleural effusions.6-12 Rib fractures, following thermal ablation, particularly<unk> , have been newly noted in the literature.13 One of the limitations of thermal-based ablation therapies, including<unk> , is the risk of marginal recurrences and/or residual disease. Residual or recurrent tumor is particularly likely in areas adjacent to heat sinks, such as larger blood vessels or airways. Theoretically, the greater heat intensity generated in<unk>  compared to other thermal modalities should allow for more complete ablations in larger tumors and thus decreased incidence of residual disease or recurrence at the tumor margins.3
