Robotic dye marking for lung nodules before surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a robotic bronchoscope to place a dye marker near a small lung nodule before surgery. The dye helps surgeons find and remove the nodule more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have one or more small lung nodules (smaller than 2 cm) in the outer part of the lung.
- Your surgeon plans to remove only a small part of the lung (not a whole lobe).
- You are healthy enough to go under general anesthesia.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or allergy to the dye used.

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 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 early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
This trial uses a special navigation system to place tiny markers next to lung nodules before surgery. This helps surgeons find and remove the nodule more precisely.
This study tests a special bronchoscopy technique called SD-RAB to biopsy small lung nodules found on a CT scan. The goal is to see if this method can safely diagnose these nodules without surgery.
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.
