Lung tumor ablation registry study
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tracks patients with small lung tumors that are treated with a robotic bronchoscope to destroy the tumor using heat. It aims to learn how well this procedure works over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung tumor that is in the outer part of the lung (not near the center).
- The tumor may be a primary lung cancer or cancer that spread to the lung from another part of the body.
- You are scheduled to have the tumor removed using a robotic bronchoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera).
- The procedure must be completed (not stopped early for technical reasons).

This trial tests a robotic system to freeze and destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or standard treatments haven't worked.
This trial combines a special type of bronchoscopy (a tube inserted into your lungs) with imaging and heat treatment to both diagnose and treat small lung nodules that may be cancer. It's designed for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to have it.
This study tests a robot that helps doctors freeze lung tumors using a CT scanner. It is for people with lung cancer who cannot have surgery and may benefit from a less invasive freezing treatment.
This trial tests a robotic procedure to safely take a sample from and treat small suspicious lung nodules without surgery. It may help patients who cannot or do not want traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
This trial tests a new way to treat small lung cancers using a special tool during bronchoscopy (a scope down the windpipe). The goal is to see if the ablation (heat treatment) works well before the tumor is surgically removed.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.
