Robot vs. video-assisted lung cancer surgery study
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (like adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) that has not spread to distant organs.
- Your tumor is 5 cm or smaller, and lymph nodes in the chest are not enlarged on CT scan.
- Your heart and lung function are good enough for surgery, based on specific tests.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy before surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no history of other cancers or serious heart problems in the last 6 months.

This trial compares different surgical methods (robotic, VATS, or open surgery) used to remove lung cancer after patients have had chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before their operation. It looks at results from five specialized hospitals to help understand which approach may work best.
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 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 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 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.
