Quit smoking before lung biopsy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether helping people quit smoking before a lung biopsy (bronchoscopy or CT-guided needle) improves the procedure or reduces complications. If you smoke and have a suspicious lung nodule, this study may help you quit while getting the care you need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a current cigarette smoker.
- You are being seen for a suspicious spot (nodule) in your lung.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions or treatments that could affect the study results.
- You are willing and able to follow the study instructions.

This trial tests a new nasal swab test to help doctors better understand your risk if you have a small lung nodule. The test looks at cells from your nose to give more information about whether the nodule might be cancer, without needing a biopsy right away.
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 tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after 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 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 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.
