A small tube will go through the respiratory tract and a non contact cauterization will be done to the inside tumor
fiberoptic bronchoscopy will go through the tracheobronchial tree and after localization of the tumor, argon plasma coagulation by initiation non contact electrocautery will be done to the tumor
