Observational Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04430725). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 74 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma, Metastatic Sarcoma, Stage I Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA1 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA2 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IA3 Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage II Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIC Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVC Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8. Interventions: PROCEDURE: Computed Tomography with Contrast; PROCEDURE: Microwave Ablation; OTHER: Questionnaire Administration; PROCEDURE: Wedge Excision. Primary outcome measures: Time to local recurrence per treated nodule , Up to 2 years post-ablation. Brief summary: This study compares the outcomes and safety of two standard treatment options called microwave ablation and surgical wedge resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, sarcoma and colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Microwave ablation is designed to kill tumor cells by heating the tumor until the tumor cells die. A wedge resection is a procedure that involves the surgical removal of a small, wedge-shaped piece of lung tissue to remove a small tumor or to diagnose lung cancer. Comparing these two treatment options may help researchers learn which method works better for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, metastatic sarcoma, and metastatic colorectal cancer.
