No-breathing-tube surgery for early lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a small, early-stage lung nodule that is planned for removal through a single small incision in the chest (single-port thoracoscopic surgery).
- You are generally active and well (your daily activities are not limited by health problems).
- Your heart and lungs are in good working condition.
- You are not obese (BMI under 30) and have no history of major lung surgery or chronic lung disease with a lot of mucus.

This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
This study tests a new way to recover from lung surgery without using a breathing tube during the operation. It is designed for small lung nodules (2 cm or less) to help you recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.
This study looks at whether giving anesthesia without a breathing tube (non-intubated) is as safe and effective as using a breathing tube during minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery. If you're having this surgery, this trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable and breathing during the operation.
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia for removing small lung nodules. One uses a breathing tube (intubated), and the other does not (non-intubated). The goal is to see if avoiding the breathing tube leads to a faster recovery and fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during surgery for small early-stage lung cancer to see which is better for patients. If you are having a small lung nodule removed, this trial may help find the safest and most comfortable anesthesia approach.
