Anesthesia type and lung cancer return after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the type of anesthesia you receive during lung cancer surgery may affect the chance of your cancer coming back. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are having surgery to remove the tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for lung cancer surgery (like removing a segment, lobe, or whole lung) with the goal of curing your non-small cell lung cancer.
- Your cancer is stage I to IIIA (meaning it hasn't spread to distant parts of your body).
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (ASA physical status I-III and ECOG performance status 0-2).
- You have not had lung cancer surgery before (except for a biopsy).
- You do not have severe liver disease, kidney failure on dialysis, serious neurological conditions, or allergies to the study medications.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning another major procedure during the same surgery.

This study looks at whether using different anesthesia drugs during planned lung tumor surgery affects recovery and longer-term outcomes. It also aims to understand why the anesthesia choice might make a difference.
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine during and after lung cancer surgery can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back or spreading. If you are having minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer, this study may help improve your long-term outcome.
This trial tests whether combining chemo or targeted therapy before surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that may require removing a whole lung. We want to see if this approach makes the surgery safer and more effective.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during breast cancer surgery to see how they affect the immune system and outcomes after surgery. It may help identify which anesthesia approach is better for people like you having early-stage, operable breast cancer surgery.
This study compares two ways of keeping your airway open during lung surgery to see if one leads to fewer chest infections (pneumonia) after the operation. Half the patients will get a breathing tube placed in the windpipe, and the other half will get a special mask over the voice box, so you have a 50/50 chance of receiving either.
