First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a device that uses both cold and radiofrequency to treat lung tumors during a standard bronchoscopy. Twenty people with early-stage lung cancer will receive the treatment before surgical removal of the tumor. The goal is to see if the device can safely and effectively destroy cancer cells, potentially improving outcomes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more effective way to treat lung tumors during routine bronchoscopy, potentially improving outcomes for patients with early-stage lung cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage registry study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of bleeding or other complications from the procedure.
