Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of RFA through a transthoracic or transbronchial approach in the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.
Detailed Description
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial with 110 participants, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to CT-guided RFA and bronchoscopy-guided RFA groups. The primary study endpoint is the complete ablation rate at 6 months post-ablation. Secondary study endpoints are technical success rate, complete ablation rate at 12 months post-ablation, local control rate at 1, 2, and 3 years post-ablation, progression free survival, overall survival, and safety. Demographic data, clinical baseline characteristics, CT follow-up data, and safety data will be collected and recorded.
