XR-assisted lung nodule localization for partial lung removal
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether extended reality (XR) technology can help doctors precisely locate small lung nodules during a partial lung removal surgery. If you have a small nodule (less than 2 cm) in the outer part of the lung and are scheduled for surgery, this may be relevant for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have a lung nodule smaller than 2 cm that needs to be marked before surgery
- Your nodule is located in the outer one-third of the lung
- You are scheduled for a lung nodule removal surgery (not a full lobectomy)
- You are able to provide written informed consent

This trial tests whether extended reality (a kind of 3D imaging) can help doctors place a marker on your lung nodule before surgery. It's designed for people with small nodules in the outer part of the lung who need precise localization.
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
This trial tests a new imaging technology that uses augmented reality (like a digital map overlay) to help surgeons better identify and remove swollen lymph nodes in the neck during lung cancer surgery. The goal is to make the surgery safer and more precise.
This trial helps train surgeons by studying how they choose the best spot for a small incision during a lung nodule removal. It uses digital models of your lung to teach them, which could lead to better surgery outcomes.
This trial compares a new method (longitude-latitude-depth) with the standard CT-guided needle placement to locate small lung nodules for surgery. If you have a small nodule in the outer part of your lung that is less than 2 cm and mostly not solid, this study may help your surgeon find and remove it with less or similar risk.
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
