Better testing for lung nodules to tell benign from cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses advanced testing methods on lung nodules to better tell if they are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It may help improve diagnosis for people scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a CT scan that found a nodule in your lung.
- You are planning to have surgery to remove the nodule.
- The removed nodule will be tested to find out if it is cancer or not.
- You do not have a blood infection like HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
- You do not have a bleeding problem or take blood thinners.
- You are able to communicate and come for follow-up visits.

This study aims to see if a blood test can tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It may help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures.
This trial tests a new computer-assisted system for guiding the needle during a lung biopsy (taking a small sample from a lung nodule). It may help doctors get a more accurate sample with fewer complications.
This study tests whether a simple blood test can accurately identify whether a lung nodule (small spot) found on imaging is cancer or harmless. If it works, it could help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures and speed up diagnosis.
This trial tests a newer way to get a tissue sample from a lung nodule using a bronchoscope (a thin tube through the airway). The goal is to see if this method can accurately diagnose lung spots that might be cancer, possibly avoiding more invasive surgery.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
