Robotic surgery to remove lung metastases
Part of Cancer, 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 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 a robotic system to freeze and destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or standard treatments haven't worked.
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 trial compares robot-assisted surgery to video-assisted surgery for removing lung cancer. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) versus video-assisted (VATS). It aims to see which approach is better for removing a lobe or part of a lobe, focusing on recovery and safety.
