LUNG CANCER (NSCLC)

This study compared two ways of doing minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer. One method uses a breathing tube and ventilator, while a newer 'tubeless' method lets patients breathe on their own. Researchers wanted to see if the tubeless method causes less lung damage, helps p…

This study looked back at medical records to see how safe and effective a specific brand of disposable surgical stapler was during lung cancer surgery. Researchers reviewed the cases of 61 patients who had their lung operations using this stapler. They checked for problems like l…

This study tested a new, non-invasive method for precisely locating multiple small lung nodules before surgery, comparing it to the standard needle-based approach. It involved 40 patients with small lung nodules to see if the new method could help surgeons successfully remove the…

This study tested a new blood test to see if it could predict when lung cancer might come back after surgery. Researchers followed 500 patients who had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. They checked for cancer cells in the blood before and after surgery to see if these cell…

This study aimed to understand how much patients move and sit up after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. Researchers tracked 51 patients' activity using a motion sensor before and after their operation. They also asked patients twice daily about what made it hard to get mov…
