3D-guided localization for lung nodule surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if using a special 3D technology called extended reality (XR) helps doctors find small lung nodules before surgery. It might make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for people with small nodules in the outer part of the lung.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your age must be between 18 and 80.
- You must be scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
- The lung nodule must be smaller than 2 centimeters (about the size of a pea).
- The nodule must be in the outer third of your lung.
- You must not be having a lobectomy (removal of a whole lobe of the lung).

This study tests whether using extended reality (a 3D imaging technology) during a CT scan helps doctors precisely locate and remove small lung nodules during a minimally invasive surgery. If you have a small nodule in the outer part of your lung, this approach might make your surgery more accurate and safer.
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.
This study tests a new way to help surgeons remove lung cancer more precisely using virtual reality and a special dye. It might help ensure the cancer is fully removed while saving as much healthy lung as possible.
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 compares two ways of marking a small lung nodule before surgery to remove it. One method uses a CT scan to guide a needle into the lung before surgery, and the other method finds the nodule during the operation itself. The goal is to see which method is safer and more accurate.
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.
