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 trial compares two types of robot-assisted lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. One method uses a fully robotic setup, and the other involves the surgeon helping with part of the procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better for patients.
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 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.
This study tests a robot that helps doctors freeze lung tumors using a CT scanner. It is for people with lung cancer who cannot have surgery and may benefit from a less invasive freezing treatment.
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.
