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.

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 trial tests a new computer-assisted system for guiding the needle during a lung biopsy (taking a small sample from a lung nodule). It may help doctors get a more accurate sample with fewer complications.
This study uses CT scans and medical records to build a model that helps tell whether a solid lung nodule is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It aims to improve diagnosis and guide treatment decisions for people with these nodules.
This study compares two ways of marking a small lung nodule before surgery to remove it. One method uses a CT scan to guide a needle into the lung before surgery, and the other method finds the nodule during the operation itself. The goal is to see which method is safer and more accurate.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
