New combo technique may spot lung cancer earlier and more accurately

This study will test a method that combines microwave ablation (using heat to destroy lung nodules) with a biopsy (taking a tissue sample) to diagnose ground-glass lung cancer. Researchers plan to enroll 200 people with small lung nodules who cannot or choose not to have surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can accurately detect cancer and guide treatment, while also finding the best settings for the ablation device.
