Testing a new microscope for lung cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a lung nodule or mass that your doctor wants to check or treat.
- You must not have any bleeding problems.
- You must be able to give your consent to join the study.
- Your medical team must say you are healthy enough for a bronchoscopy (a scope to look at your lungs) or lung surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
This study is testing a new way to help find lung cancer earlier by combining imaging (like CT scans) with a blood test that looks at DNA changes. If you have lung cancer and haven't started treatment yet, participating may help improve future detection methods.
This study checks whether it’s practical to do gene (DNA) testing on samples taken during EBUS-TBNA, a common breathing-tube biopsy used to stage lung cancer. If it works well, it could make genetic testing faster and easier for people with lung cancer.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
This study follows people who have lung “spots” that look like possible lung cancer and need a biopsy to figure out what they are. It uses a guided breathing-tube procedure to safely collect tissue so doctors can make a diagnosis.
This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
