NCT ID NCT03960021

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at how radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a heat-based treatment for lung tumors that spread from colorectal cancer, affects the body's immune response. Researchers measured immune cell activity in tumor samples before and after RFA in up to 20 patients. The goal was to better understand the immune mechanisms triggered by this procedure, not to test a new treatment.
