You may qualify if…
- Histologically confirmed primary lung cancer, lung metastasis from another primary, or recurrent tumors in the setting of prior RFA or cryotherapy
- Tumors < 2 cm from trachea or zone of proximal bronchial tree (central tumors)
- Each tumor < 5 cm in size prior to treatment
- Medically inoperable patients as determined at the multidisciplinary thoracic tumor board, or medically operable patients who refuse surgery
- Criterion for medical inoperability include:
- Overall clinical assessment at the UCLA thoracic tumor board
- Reduced Pulmonary Function (FEV1, DLCO, etc) based on one major or two minor criterion as described below:
- Modified ACOSOG Criteria for medical inoperability:
- Major Criteria: FEV1% < 50% or < 1L and DLCO < 50%
- Minor Criteria: Age > 75, FEV1 51-60% predicted, or FEV1 1-1.2L, DLCO 51%-60% predicted, pulmonary hypertension, poor left ventricular function (EF < 40% or less), resting or exercise arterial pO2 < 55 mmHg, and pCO2 > 45 mmHg
- Age > 18 years old
- KPS > 70
- If a woman is of childbearing potential, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test must be documented.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
