Radiotherapy tumor ablation

Hi
I have'nt personally had experience with this, but I have done a little research. There are some places that do radio frequency ablation for lung cancer, there is a list on another message board that I can forward to you if you're interested. RFA is used for liver cancer and tumors with success, but since it's a new treatment for NSCLC there is not a lot of data on it. I have stage 3B, currently inoperable NSLC and have spoken with UCLA, they have an open clinical trial for NSCLC, and after my scans in Feb. I plan on going to see if they will consider me.
I am so sorry about your recurrence - maybe RFA can take care to those pesky tumors. You sound like a good candidate.
Please feel free to call or e-mail me for support, exchanging info..... Anything
God Bless

We all would be interested in the information, so I hope you'll be able to post it here. I am always finding out "new" stuff to investigate from this list. I appreciate learning from all of you. Thanks.

Janet - my husband also has inoperable NSLC and is on a trial drug called Iressa. He is doing wonderful with it. Have you heard about it? If you would like more info on it you can email me at svpat@sbcglobal.net. Anyone else interested is also welcome to contact me.janetk said:Hi
