About this trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Cryoablation and Thoracoscopic Surgery in the treatment of pulmonary ground-glass nodules.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients ≥ 18 years old.

The size of the GGN is 8-20mm (with less than 25% solid component), and the number of nodules requiring treatment in the short term is less than 3.

Pathological confirmation of the GGN as non-small cell lung cancer; or progression of the GGN during at least 3 months of follow-up, including enlargement of the largest diameter, increase in solid component, or the appearance of a significant solid component in a previously pure GGN, with multidisciplinary discussion (including radiology, thoracic surgery, and pulmonology) suggesting malignancy.

No lymph node, pulmonary, or distant metastasis to other organs.

Disqualifiers

Patients in poor general condition, with ECOG physical fitness score >2, unable to tolerate surgery or ablation therapy, or with relevant contraindications.

Patients who have previously received other treatments for pulmonary GGNs.

Patients with poor compliance.

Severe heart, lung, kidney, brain, or other vital organ diseases.
