Pulmonary artery coil embolisation prevented tumour progression in a patient with advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma.
Conclusion: The long-term clinical benefit indicates a direct effect of coil embolisation on tumour progression. We suggest that coil embolisation of tumour-feeding arteries could be considered as a potential treatment method for patients with SqCLC.
