Robotic lung biopsy: a sharper tool for spotting cancer?

NCT ID NCT06489678

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new technique that combines cone-beam CT scans with a robotic bronchoscope against standard methods for taking lung tissue samples. The goal is to see if the new approach can diagnose lung cancer and other lung diseases more accurately. About 300 adults who need a lung biopsy will take part, and researchers will track how often the biopsy gives a clear diagnosis, along with safety and radiation exposure.
