Freezing lung nodules: a new hope for inoperable patients?

NCT ID NCT07232433

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

Summary

This study tests a procedure called cryoablation, which uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy lung nodules that are early-stage cancer. It is for people who cannot have surgery due to age or health issues. The trial will enroll 90 participants and follow them for up to 5 years to see if the cancer comes back and how safe the procedure is.
