Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of cryotherapy (cryoablation \[CA\]) in treating patients with lung cancer. Cryotherapy kills cancer cells by freezing them.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the initial safety of the CA for lung tumors less than or equal to 3.5 cm in size including acute toxicity (30 days). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate local control. II. To assess physical function for this cohort of patients. III. To evaluate the impact of treatment on generic and disease-specific quality of life. IV. To obtain pilot data useful for the design of a subsequent phase II or randomized phase II trial. V. Evaluate changes in pulmonary function at 3 months. OUTLINE: Patients undergo computed tomography (CT)-guided CA After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 week and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months.
