Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well radiofrequency ablation works in treating patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer. Radiofrequency ablation uses high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells. Computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation may be a better treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • PRE-REGISTRATION CRITERIA:
  • Patients must have a lung nodule suspicious for clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  • Patient must have a mass = = 75
  • FEV1 51-60% predicted
  • DLCO 51-60% predicted
  • Pulmonary hypertension (defined as a pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 40 mmHg) as estimated by echocardiography or right heart catheterization
  • Poor left ventricular function (defined as an ejection fraction of 40% or less)
  • Resting or exercise arterial partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) = 45 mmHg
  • Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea Scale >= 3
  • Patient must not have had previous intra-thoracic radiation therapy
  • Women of child-bearing potential must have negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 2 weeks of registration
  • REGISTRATION ACTIVATION CRITERIA:
  • Patient must have histologically or cytologically proven NSCLC, 3 cm or smaller, as determined by the largest dimension on CT lung windows
  • Patient's tumor must be non-contiguous with vital structures: trachea, esophagus, aorta, aortic arch branches and heart and lesions must be accessible via percutaneous transthoracic route
  • Patient must have all suspicious mediastinal lymph nodes (> 1 cm short-axis dimension on CT scan or positive on PET scan) assessed by the following to confirm negative involvement with NSCLC (mediastinoscopy, endo-esophageal ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, CT-guided, video-assisted thoracoscopic or open lymph node biopsy)
