Table 2. Characteristics of patients with multiple nodules received combined treatment.

No.	Surgical lesion			MWA lesion		Surgical procedure for all lesions	Reason for MWA but not resection
	Surgical procedure	Size (cm)		location	Size (cm)
1	LLL wedge	1.6		LS10	1.1	Ipsilateral, lobectomy	Previous right upper lobectomy, potential increased morbidity for another large resection
2	RUL wedge, RLL wedge	1.7, 0.7		RS5	0.5	Ipsilateral, lobectomy + wedge*2	Pulmonary function compromised, intolerant for large resection
3	RML lobectomy	2.1		RS9	1.7	Ipsilateral, Bilobectomy	Elderly patient, intolerant for large resection
4	LLL wedge	1.2		LS3	1.0	Ipsilateral lobectomy/seg + wedge	Intolerant for large resection
5	LS1+2 seg, LLL wedge	2.0, 0.5		RS3	0.8	Contralateral, seg*2 + wedge	Potential increased morbidity for contralateral resection
6	RLL lobectomy, RLL lobectomy	3.2, 3.1		RS5	1.5	Ipsilateral, Bilobectomy	Intolerant for bilobectomy
7	LS1+2+3 seg	1.8		RS10	1.7	Contralateral, seg*2	Elderly patient, Potential increased morbidity for contralateral resection
8	RLL wedge	0.6		RS3	0.9	Ipsilateral, lobectomy/seg + wedge	Previous left lung surgery, intolerant for another large resection
9	RS6 seg	1.2		RS3	0.9	Ipsilateral, lobectomy/seg + seg	Pulmonary function compromised, Potential increased morbidity for large resection
10	RS6 seg	2.4		RS3	0.8	Ipsilateral, lobectomy/seg + seg	Pulmonary function compromised, Potential increased morbidity for large resection

MWA, microwave ablation; Seg, segmentectomy; RUL, right upper lobe; RML, right middle lobe; RLL, right lower lobe; LLL, left lower lobe.
