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 trial compares two types of lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. You may qualify if you have a small tumor (2 cm or less) with specific features on a CT scan. The goal is to see which surgery offers better outcomes.
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 study uses a computer program to analyze lung function before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care.
This study tests whether 3D models made from non-contrast CT scans are accurate enough to guide minimally invasive lung segmentectomy (removing a small piece of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It may help certain patients avoid the need for contrast dye.
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.
