Lung cancer cell study after surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples from people having surgery for lung cancer to learn about certain cells (MDSCs and cancer stem cells) that may affect how the cancer behaves. The goal is to understand these cells better, which could help improve treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove your lung cancer
- You are not receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy before surgery
- You have not had another cancer within the past 2 years

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at changes in small molecules, genetic material, and other markers in the blood before and after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to develop a simple blood test to monitor patients over time and see if the cancer comes back.
This trial looks at how the immune system reacts to standard treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand why some patients respond better to treatment, which could guide future care.
This study looks at molecular (biologic) signals in the tumor and nearby lymph nodes after curative surgery for stage IIIA lung cancer. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future treatment planning.
This study looks at immune cells inside lung tumors to better understand how they work. If you are having surgery for a thoracic tumor, your tissue could help researchers learn more.
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.
This study looks at how lung cancer changes over time by analyzing tumor tissue and blood. It may help researchers understand what drives cancer relapse after early-stage surgery.
