Any one have the Aliya treatment for lung cancer yet? How did it go
I am scheduled to have the Aliya PEF (pulsed electricc field) image guided ablation on 4/23/26. It has just been approved for non small cell adenocarcinoma of the lungs. I am having it done in conjuction with a biopsy of lung nodules that have doubled in size in 4 months per CT sccan, and light up as probably cancerous from PET scan. I have been dealing with the lung cancer since January 2023 and pancreatic cancer since December 2024. I had the Whipple for the pancreas in December 2025. None of my cancers have been metastases. The biopsy won't have results for at least 7 days, but rather than putting me under twice, they ar going to do the Aliya at the same time. I am 78 years old. I have faith in my doctors, but since this such a new treatment, was wondering if anyone has had the Aliya, how successful it was, and were there any side effects.

Following because I am interested in having this procedure.
@cjacobs99, I saw a post from you mentioning the Aliya procedure. (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1160933/) The lung cancer group is interested and excited about this advancement. Did you have the Aliya procedure for your metastasis to the lung, or did you go with more SBRT? How are you doing now?

I am scheduled for the Aliya procedure this coming Thursday, 4/23/26. I had SBRT for pancreatic tumor which shrunk it enough to have the Whipple surgery this past December. I will be having a biopsy of the nodules and lymph node in the mediastinum to determine whether it is lung cancer or a metastases of pancreatic cancer. I have been receiving immunotherapy, Nivolumab, for 3 years for the lung cancer.
They will be doing the Aliya at the same time as the biopsy. I'll post the results. Biopsy results won't be back for 7 days.
