Fast digital pathology for lung cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new, fast digital method to look at lung tumor tissue right after surgery. It aims to help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis and check for important markers that guide treatment, all while you are still in the operating room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer or a lung tumor.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor (not just a biopsy).
- Your tumor is large enough that extra tissue can be safely taken for research.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests a new laser imaging tool that works with artificial intelligence to give fast, accurate results during lung surgery. If you are already scheduled to have lung surgery for a suspicious spot, the laser scan will be done on your tissue and compared to the standard frozen section and final lab results.
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
This trial tests whether 3D models from a CT scan without dye can help guide minimally invasive lung surgery. If you have a small early-stage lung cancer and are eligible for keyhole surgery, this study might be for you.
This study looks at lung cancer tissue after surgery, using lab testing done outside the body. It may help researchers better observe and study lung tumors using samples taken during lobectomy or segment removal.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
