LUNG CANCER (NSCLC)

This study tested a powered stapler used during lung cancer surgery in 61 patients. The goal was to see if the device was safe and worked well. Researchers checked for leaks and other complications. The study is complete, but results are not yet published.

This study tested a new way to do lung cancer surgery without using a breathing tube or ventilator. Instead, patients breathe on their own during the operation. The goal was to see if this 'tubeless' method causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces pollu…

This pilot study tested a new, non-invasive way to locate multiple small lung nodules (under 20 mm) before surgery, comparing it to the standard CT-guided needle method. Forty people with early-stage lung cancer took part. The goal was to see if the new method could help surgeons…

This study aimed to create easy, non-invasive tests using blood and saliva to find markers of certain cancers, like breast and lung cancer. Researchers worked with 250 adults who had these cancers but hadn't started treatment yet. The goal was to improve early detection and monit…

This study tracked 51 lung cancer patients before and after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to see how much time they spent lying down, sitting, or standing. Researchers also looked at what prevented patients from moving more. The goal was to understand barriers to early mob…

This completed study looked at 500 non-small cell lung cancer patients who had surgery. Researchers collected blood samples before and after surgery to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs). They then analyzed these cells to see if their presence could predict cancer recurrence o…
