Hi,
It is good that you are interested in finding the best treatment options.
It would be important to mention though, the extent of disease, as this would determine what would constitute optimal and suboptimat therapy. A common designation for this would be the cancer stage.
Cryo is a local therapy that would deliver low temperature over an area of affected lung. The concept is not new, as attempts to perform this treatment have been around since the 70s. However, at present, this is not yet standard therapy, and seems to be offered only in settings where there are no other options (hence a decision to try something without solid experience, since no known treatments are available).
The standard treatment options for lung cancers are generally surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy would be the most used, as most cases of lung cancer are no longer surgical or radiation candidates.
Stay positive.
