Background The study was conducted to retrospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of computed tomography (CT)‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for peripheral non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 11 patients with a single lung after pneumonectomy. Methods From May 2011 to March...
