Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Microwave Ablation Combined With Huaier Granules in Patients With Inoperable Stage IA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) combined with Huaier granules in patients with inoperable stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total of 180 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either MWA alone or MWA combined with Huaier granules. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Secondary outcomes include local progression rate (LPR), overall survival (OS), tumor markers, immune function, and quality of life. Safety will be evaluated using the CTCAE v5.0 criteria. The study seeks to determine whether the combined therapy offers improved tumor control and immune benefits over MWA alone.
