Surgery quality check for early-stage lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether checking the quality of lung cancer surgery during the operation helps improve recovery and long-term outcomes. It may help doctors make sure the cancer is fully removed and guide follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer that has not spread far (stages IA to IIIA).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the cancer as your first treatment, or as part of a treatment plan that includes other therapies like chemotherapy or radiation.
- You are healthy enough for surgery, including having adequate lung function and being able to perform daily activities.
- You have not had cancer in the last 5 years (except for certain skin cancers).

This study compares two types of lung cancer surgery—removing just the tumor section (segmentectomy) or the whole lobe (lobectomy)—done through small cuts (minimally invasive). The goal is to see which approach leads to better daily living and recovery for early-stage lung cancer patients.
This study looks at how lung cancer changes over time by analyzing tumor tissue and blood. It may help researchers understand what drives cancer relapse after early-stage surgery.
This trial tests a quality-of-life support program meant to help people with early-stage lung cancer think through their treatment choices. It may help you feel more informed and more confident about deciding between treatments like surgery and SBRT.
This study collects information from people having surgery to remove a small part of the lung (segmentectomy) for early-stage lung cancer. It helps doctors learn more about this surgery and its outcomes.
This study compares two types of lung cancer surgery for early-stage tumors: removing only the part of the lung with the tumor (segmentectomy) versus removing the entire lobe (lobectomy). It aims to see if the smaller surgery works just as well and might be easier to recover from.
This study follows people with stage I lung cancer to see how they do after surgery. It aims to learn what affects recovery and long-term outcomes.
