3D Lung Map to Guide Small Nodule Surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your lung nodule must be small and has a certain amount of solid tissue (described by consolidation-to-tumor ratio).
- The nodule must be located in the outer part of your lung, not too deep.
- Your surgeon will use a 3D computer model of your lungs to plan the surgery.
- Your cancer must be in the earliest stages (stage IA1 or IA2) and hasn't spread.
- You should not have a chronic lung disease like COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, or silicosis.

This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This trial tests a new way to plan and guide lung cancer surgery using a special dye that shows the tumor area during the operation. It may help surgeons remove the cancer more accurately while targeting only a small section of lung for certain early-stage patients.
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
This trial studies if a limited surgery (wedge resection) works well for small lung cancers that appear as ground-glass opacities on CT scans. It aims to remove the tumor while preserving more lung tissue.
This trial tests whether 3D models from a CT scan without dye can help guide minimally invasive lung surgery. If you have a small early-stage lung cancer and are eligible for keyhole surgery, this study might be for you.
This trial tests a new surgical technique to remove small, early-stage lung cancers that are located deep within the lung tissue. The goal is to remove only the affected area while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
