Inhaled treatment before lung cancer surgery to prevent lung complications
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving an inhaled medication before lung cancer surgery helps prevent breathing problems after the operation. It is for people whose lung function is lower than normal, which puts them at higher risk for complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove part of your lung
- You have not been using a long-term inhaled bronchodilator (a type of breathing medicine)
- Your lung function test (FEV1) is less than 80% of normal, meaning you have a higher risk of lung problems after surgery
