Robot-assisted lung biopsy for lung nodules in South Korea
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You have a lung nodule that is solid or partly solid, confirmed by a CT scan
- Your doctor has decided you need a biopsy of the nodule
- You can safely have a bronchoscopy (a thin tube inserted into your airways)
- You can provide written consent and are generally well enough for sedation or anesthesia

This trial tests a robotic procedure to safely take a sample from and treat small suspicious lung nodules without surgery. It may help patients who cannot or do not want traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
This study tests a new computer-assisted system to help guide a needle biopsy of lung nodules. It aims to make the procedure more precise and safe when a nodule is suspicious for cancer.
This trial tests an AI system that helps guide a robotic bronchoscope to lung nodules. It may help doctors find and localize nodules more accurately during the procedure.
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.
This trial compares two types of robotic bronchoscopy (shape-sensing and electromagnetic) to see which works better for diagnosing lung lesions. You may be eligible if you're scheduled for this procedure.
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps doctors look at tissue samples during a lung biopsy. The tool is meant to work alongside the doctor to see if it can provide faster or more helpful information while you are still in the procedure room.
