Lung nodule tagging before surgery using a navigation system
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a lung nodule that is partly solid, at least 6 millimeters wide, or growing even if smaller.
- The nodule must be near a breathing tube (bronchus) seen on a CT scan.
- You are not pregnant.
- You can safely have a bronchoscopy with deep sedation.
- You are healthy enough for lung surgery.

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 trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
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 study tests a system that helps doctors find and mark small lung nodules before surgery. It may make the procedure more precise and help you get the right treatment for your nodule.
This trial compares two different imaging methods used during a bronchoscopy to help doctors guide tools to a hard-to-reach lung nodule for biopsy. The goal is to see which method is better at getting a clear diagnosis with fewer complications.
