Checking MRD after surgery in early lung cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at a test called MRD (tiny remaining cancer after treatment) after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to understand who is more likely to have the cancer return, which could help guide follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage (Stage I–II) lung cancer that can be removed by surgery
- You’re age 18 or older
- Your lung cancer diagnosis is confirmed as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- You have not had any prior cancer treatment (no surgery, chemo, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy)
- Your health is good enough for surgery and follow-up treatments (ECOG performance status 0–1)
- You can attend study visits and tests, and you expect to live at least 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether a special blood/tissue test called MRD (minimal residual disease, meaning tiny leftover cancer signals) can help monitor lung cancer after surgery. It may help doctors spot relapse earlier after your tumor has been fully removed.
This trial tests whether monitoring for minimal residual disease (MRD) after surgery can help guide decisions about additional therapy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). If you've had surgery to completely remove your cancer and are eligible, you may benefit from a personalized approach to follow-up treatment.
This trial is for people with stage III colorectal cancer who haven't had treatment yet. It tests a blood test to find tiny bits of cancer DNA (MRD) after surgery, which may help doctors know if more treatment is needed.
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA and CTC) to check for minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment for stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if MRD can help predict whether the cancer will come back and guide decisions on extra treatment to prevent recurrence.
This study tests an additional treatment after surgery for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that may still have a chance of coming back (called MRD positive). It aims to see if this extra treatment reduces recurrence risk.
This trial tests whether adding a cancer-fighting immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back. It uses “MRD” (measurable remaining disease) to help decide who may benefit the most after resection.
