Oxygen-guided lung surgery for small tumors
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons find the right boundary between lung segments during surgery, using oxygen levels to guide them. It may help patients with small, early-stage lung tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are well enough to do light housework or desk work (ECOG 0 or 1).
- Your lung tumor is 2 cm or smaller and mostly looks like ground glass on CT scan.
- You have not had lung surgery before.
- You do not have severe lung scarring or emphysema.

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 tests whether a special navigation system during lung cancer surgery (using SERS technology) can help surgeons better locate and remove lung tumor tissue. You may be able to take part if you are having surgery to remove the tumor and meet the study’s timing and health requirements.
This trial tests a new surgical technique to remove small, early-stage lung cancers that are located deep within the lung tissue. The goal is to remove only the affected area while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
