Robot-assisted lung surgery for older adults
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older at the time of surgery
- You have suspected or confirmed lung cancer
- Your heart, kidney, liver, and lung function are stable enough for surgery
- Any cancer spread outside the lung is under control or treatable
- Your surgery will use the DaVinci robot system

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 study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic-assisted (da Vinci) and VATS—for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach might work better and help patients recover faster.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
This study is testing a new robotic surgical system for removing lung cancer in its early stage. It aims to see if the technique is safe and effective for people with stage I non-small cell lung cancer who need a lobectomy.
