Read our Lung Cancer research guide →This trial is testing the AB1 Electrosurgical System, a device that uses microwave energy to treat small lung cancers during a bronchoscopy procedure (a thin camera passed down into your lungs). Researchers want to see if this treatment is safe and works well before you have surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to potentially offer patients an alternative option that may reduce recovery time and complications.
Currently, surgery is the main treatment for early-stage lung cancers, which can be a major operation with a long recovery. This trial is exploring whether the new microwave treatment could shrink tumors effectively and give patients a less invasive option with faster healing.

You will participate for about 2 months. The process includes a screening visit, a bronchoscopy procedure where the microwave treatment is applied to your tumor, two follow-up visits (one week after treatment and before surgery), and then your planned surgical removal of the tumor 1–3 weeks after the microwave treatment. Your involvement in the research ends when you are discharged from the hospital after surgery, though your doctors will continue to monitor you with routine care.
