@andycapp I had Aliya 9n June 29. It is basically a bronchoscopy with biopsies and lavage. They get immediate analysis. If malignant they then use Aliya, which is pulsed electric field ablation. I had no side effects. The Dr was optimistic that it worked but we won't know until early October when I'll have a ct to see if the nodule is gone.
I found the procedure from an Ai search and was very lucky that one of the trial doctors was at my local hospital. I then checked with my regular pulmonologist and oncologist and they agreed.
You might want to check with your doctors to see where Aliya is used.
For me, it was wonderful, since I already had a lobectomy and wedge, as well as chemo and immunotherapy. I had been misdiagnosed with intrapulmonary metastasis and recently found that I actually have multifocal primary lung cancer. So I most likely with have additional nodules show up. I would never hesitate to do Aliya again. There's no loss of lung function and pretty much just the normal risk of a bronchoscopy.
@andycapp
I had the Aliya on 4/23/26. As of my CT scan on 08/04/26, there has been shrinkage of the treated nodule as well as an adjacent one. They were comparing the new CT to one of 6 weeks ago so I will have to do a little math to compare it to the scan pre treatment in March, but will report back when I have more data.

@andycapp both @kakalena and @ladylennie have had the procedure.
