Summary

This study tests a new way to treat small lung tumors by freezing them. Doctors use a special scope to guide a freezing probe directly to the tumor. The trial includes 40 adults with early-stage or limited metastatic lung cancer. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and can completely destroy the tumor.
