Lung cancer tissue imaging study using light
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging technique that uses light to look at lung tissue removed during surgery. It may help doctors see cancer details more clearly without damaging the tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a lung nodule that might be cancer, or you have been diagnosed with lung cancer
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part or all of a lung
- Your doctor has ordered a standard pathology test on the removed tissue
- You are not pregnant, not in prison, and do not have any other condition that the study team thinks might make the procedure unsafe

This trial is testing a new imaging technology that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors quickly identify lung cancer during a standard bronchoscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for cancer, this study may help improve detection speed and accuracy.
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 a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
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.
This trial tests whether using special near-infrared imaging can help surgeons better guide lung tumor removal during minimally invasive or open chest surgery. It may improve how accurately the surgical area is identified during the operation.
