Lung cancer with air pockets: staging and treatment
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at lung cancers that have air-filled spaces inside them. It explores how the stage of the cancer affects treatment outcomes. If you have this type of lung cancer and have had surgery, this trial may help doctors learn more about your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- You have had surgery to remove part or all of your lung.
- Before surgery, you had a CT scan that shows air-filled spaces within the tumor.
- You have not received any cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy) before joining.
- You do not have another active cancer or lung conditions that cause air pockets like tuberculosis or emphysema.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the genes and molecules of early-stage lung cancer in two groups: people with more than one lung tumor at the same time, and people whose lung cancer is tied to air-filled spaces (cysts) seen on a CT scan. The goal is to better understand these types of lung cancer.
This study looks for cancer cells that travel through the blood or spread through air spaces in the lungs of people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to understand how these cells affect the disease, and it may help doctors plan better treatment in the future.
This study looks at whether people with a very early type of lung cancer can safely have curative surgery when their CT scan shows a ground-glass type spot with certain size and shape measurements. It aims to help doctors choose the right surgery approach based on the scan features and final pathology.
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.
This study looks at CT scans from people with early-stage lung cancer to see if we can predict if the cancer might have spread through the air spaces in the lung. It aims to help doctors decide on better treatment after surgery.
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.
