Real-Time CT scans during lung surgery could reduce repeat operations

NCT ID NCT07242053

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

Summary

This study looks at whether a CT scan done right after removing a lung tumor can help surgeons decide if they need to remove more tissue. Currently, doctors only know if the cancer is fully removed after the surgery, when a pathologist checks the tissue. By getting immediate feedback, surgeons might reduce the chance of cancer coming back and avoid extra treatments. The study involves 80 patients having lung surgery and 9 surgeons who will answer questions about how useful the CT feedback is.
