Freezing lung nodules: a new alternative to surgery?
NCT ID NCT06848881
First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for small lung spots called ground-glass nodules: freezing them with a probe (cryoablation) or removing them with surgery. About 160 adults with nodules 8-20mm will be followed for 2 years to see which approach better prevents the nodules from coming back or spreading. The goal is to find a less invasive option that works as well as surgery.
