Robotic surgery to remove lung metastases
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses robotic-assisted surgery to remove cancer that has spread to the lung from another part of the body. It is for people whose original cancer is under control and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your original cancer (the one that spread to the lung) is under control or being treated effectively.
- You have no cancer spread to other organs (outside the lung) that is not under control.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery—your heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs must be working well.
- Your doctor determines you can safely undergo anesthesia and the procedure.
- You are at least 18 years old.

This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
This study compares two different robotic surgery methods for removing early-stage lung cancer. If you are scheduled for robotic surgery, this trial will help doctors learn if a fully robotic approach is better than one where the surgeon assists the robot.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive lung surgery for early-stage lung cancer. One method uses a robotic arm, the other uses a small camera and long instruments through small cuts. The goal is to see which one gives better results for removing the cancer.
This trial compares robotic surgery and video-assisted surgery for removing part of the lung (lobectomy or segmentectomy). It may help determine which approach is safer or works better for patients who can safely tolerate minimally invasive surgery.
This trial tests whether robotic-assisted surgery for lung cancer is safe and effective in elderly patients. It may be a good option if you are older and able to undergo surgery.
This study compares two different ways of doing robotic lung surgery to remove cancer. It looks at whether using one method (with an extra opening) is better than the standard method for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed.
