This trial tests whether a video tool helps patients prepare for lung cancer surgery. It aims to improve understanding and reduce anxiety before and after the procedure.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06577883Recruiting
New chest X-ray technique for lung cancer screening
This trial tests a new type of chest X-ray called tomosynthesis to improve lung cancer screening. It looks at people who are getting screened for lung cancer, have a suspicious spot on their lung, or have just been diagnosed—as long as they haven't been treated for lung cancer before.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT06578156Recruiting
