XR-assisted PET/CT navigation for neck lymph node removal in lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using special XR (extended reality) technology during PET/CT imaging can help doctors guide the removal of lymph nodes in the neck that have been affected by lung cancer. If you need this surgery, the trial aims to make it more precise and potentially safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have lung cancer that is confirmed or highly likely, and it has spread to lymph nodes in your neck or above your collarbone that need to be removed.
- You are willing to have a PET/CT scan before surgery.
- You can give written consent to participate.
- You have not had high-dose radiation to your neck that severely changed its structure.
- You are not allergic to contrast dye used in imaging and can safely undergo imaging.

This study uses a special MRI scanner in the operating room to help guide lymph node removal during surgery for urologic cancers like bladder, prostate, testicular, kidney, urethral, or penile cancer. It aims to see if this real-time imaging can make the surgery more precise.
This study tests a new way to decide which lymph nodes to remove during lung cancer surgery. The goal is to make surgery more precise and reduce side effects while still effectively removing cancer.
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 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.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether guiding neck radiation by checking the “sentinel” lymph node can target treatment more precisely in certain larynx, hypopharynx, or oropharynx cancers. It aims to improve control while potentially reducing unnecessary radiation to areas that don’t need it.
This study tests whether surgically removing lymph nodes in the neck (above the collarbone) can help treat breast cancer that has spread to that area, and whether this approach improves outcomes compared to not removing them.
