Microwave ablation plus herbal granules for early lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining microwave ablation (a procedure that uses heat to destroy cancer cells) with a herbal medicine called Huaier granules is safe and effective for people with early-stage lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. If you qualify, you may receive this combination to help control the cancer and improve your quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether Huaier granules can help prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with stage II–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who have recently had their tumor completely removed and have not had other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
This trial tests whether Huaier granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, can help people with advanced breast cancer that has not spread to major organs like the liver or lungs. You may join if you've had no more than one prior treatment and your cancer is not curable with surgery or radiation.
This trial tests whether adding Huaier granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, to a chemotherapy pill called capecitabine helps people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. You would take the granules by mouth along with the chemo, and researchers will see if this combination helps control the cancer and improves well-being.
This study looks at two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: using heat from a tiny probe passed through the airways to kill the tumor (microwave ablation), or surgery to remove the tumor and some surrounding tissue. The goal is to find which approach is more effective and safer for people with this type of lung cancer.
This trial tests combining microwave ablation (heat treatment of tumors) with two drugs—tislelizumab (an immune-boosting drug) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)—for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed after initial immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink tumors better than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
