Laser imaging to predict high-risk lung cancer features during surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to examine lung tissue removed during surgery using a special laser-based imaging technology. It aims to predict if the nodule has high-risk features that might affect your treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a lung nodule that is scheduled to be removed with surgery.
- You need to be able to give written permission to be part of this study.
- The tissue removed during your surgery must be in good condition for special imaging.
- The doctors must be able to get a final pathology report (microscopic analysis) from your tissue.

This study tests a new laser-based imaging method that, with the help of artificial intelligence, may help doctors quickly identify whether lung tissue removed during surgery is cancerous. It could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses for people having lung surgery.
This study tests a new laser imaging device that works with artificial intelligence to quickly analyze lung tissue during surgery. The goal is to see if it can give as accurate results as the standard method, which could help surgeons make faster decisions during the operation.
This study tests a new imaging technique that uses light to look at lung tissue removed during surgery. It may help doctors see cancer details more clearly without damaging the tissue.
This study uses a computer program to analyze lung function before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care.
This trial tests a special imaging technique that uses a harmless dye to help surgeons see the exact boundary between healthy and diseased lung tissue during surgery to remove a small part of the lung. This could help make the surgery more precise and potentially preserve more healthy lung.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
