To compare the survival benefits of thermal ablation (TA) and radiotherapy in inoperable patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A retrospective analysis was conducted using the data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Propensity score matching (P...
