New method to identify lung nodule type
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung nodule smaller than 3 cm that is planned for a biopsy or surgery.
- You are generally in good health, able to walk and care for yourself (ECOG 0-2).
- Your blood counts and organ function (liver, kidneys) are within acceptable ranges.
- You have not had cancer in the past, and the nodule does not appear to have spread to other parts of the body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This study tests a new computer-assisted system to help guide a needle biopsy of lung nodules. It aims to make the procedure more precise and safe when a nodule is suspicious for cancer.
This trial tests artificial intelligence (AI) models to predict whether a lung nodule found on a CT scan is likely cancerous. You may join if you have a nodule that will be biopsied or removed surgically, and your doctors can confirm its exact diagnosis.
This trial compares a new method (longitude-latitude-depth) with the standard CT-guided needle placement to locate small lung nodules for surgery. If you have a small nodule in the outer part of your lung that is less than 2 cm and mostly not solid, this study may help your surgeon find and remove it with less or similar risk.
This trial tests a new navigation system to help doctors find and mark small lung nodules (bumps) before surgery. The system uses electromagnetic technology to guide a needle more precisely to the nodule, which may make surgery safer and more accurate.
This study uses CT scans and medical records to build a model that helps tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) solid lung nodules. It aims to improve diagnosis and reduce unnecessary surgeries.
