Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies side effects and best treatment time of cryodevitalization in treating patients with early stage (stage I or stage II) lung cancer. Cryodevitalization is a type of cryosurgery that uses a flexible probe (cryoprobe) to kill tumor cells by freezing them. It is delivered at the time of standard diagnostic robotic bronchoscopy. Using cryodevitalization may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with early stage lung cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a single pulmonary nodule with a size less than or equal to three centimeters (average long and short axis) confirmed as malignant intraprocedurally (rapid on-site evaluation with pathology assessment showing lung cancer or oligometastatic disease) without evidence of mediastinal involvement who require nodule biopsy prior to proceeding with surgical resection * Nodules must be located in the outer 2/3 of the periphery of the lung, greater than 10 mm from the pleura and from large blood vessels or mediastinal structures to avoid injury to other visceral organs * Patients deemed to have a surgical resection treatment option based on preoperative staging computed tomographic (CT), postoperative predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \> 40% and evaluation of medical comorbidities after discussion at multidisciplinary tumor board * Age \> 18 years old Exclusion Criteria: * Target nodule is within the International Association for the Study
