Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age older than 18 years. 2. Primary peripheral lung cancer diagnosed by pathology and pre-procedure staging examination suggesting clinical stage T1N0M0, stage IA (including postoperative new and multiple primary). 3. The target lesion was evaluated to be feasible for both CT and bronchoscopy-guided ablation. 4. Patients who are not suitable for surgery or refuse surgery, agree to undergo initial ablation therapy and sign informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with platelets \<70×109/L, severe bleeding tendency and coagulation dysfunction that cannot be corrected in a short term. 2. Patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension. 3. Infectious and radioactive inflammation around the lesion, skin infection at the puncture site that is not well controlled, systemic infection, high fever \>38.5°C. 4. Patients with severe hepatic, renal, cardiac, pulmonary and cerebral insufficiency, severe anaemia, dehydration and serious disorders of nutritional metabolism that cannot be corrected or improved in a short term. 5. Those with poorly controlled malignant pleural effusions. 6. Anticoagulation therapy and/or anti-platelet drugs (except dabigatran, rivaroxaban and other new oral anticoagulants) have not been discontinued more than 5\~7d before ablation. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score \>2. 8. Combination with other tumors with extensive metastases and an expected survival of \<6 months. 9. Patients with episodic psychosis. 10.
