One-stop diagnosis and treatment for small lung nodules
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial combines diagnosis and treatment in one procedure for small lung nodules. Doctors use a special tube to look inside the airways, take a sample, and then destroy the tumor with heat or cold (ablation). This may help people who cannot have surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung nodule or tumor that is 3 cm (about 1.2 inches) or smaller.
- You are not able to have surgery or you choose not to have surgery or radiation therapy.
- You agree to a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat or cold to destroy the tumor.
- You must be in reasonably good health, without severe infections, bleeding problems, or other serious medical conditions.
- You must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This trial tests a procedure that uses a robotic scope to biopsy (take a tissue sample) and then destroy lung nodules in one session. It aims to help people who can't have surgery or radiation by treating suspicious nodules with heat ablation.
This trial tests a new way to freeze and kill lung tumors using a thin tube (bronchoscope) guided by a robot. It's for people with small tumors in the outer part of the lung who aren't having surgery or radiation, and it offers another treatment option.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
This trial studies a flexible “microwave heating” probe placed through the airways to treat small lung cancer nodules. It may help some patients avoid more invasive treatment by destroying the tumor during a bronchoscopy procedure.
This study tests a freezing technique, called cryoablation, to destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or other treatments, or if those treatments haven't worked.
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
