Mini camera aims to peek at lung Cancer's hidden corners
NCT ID NCT04534413
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a very small camera, called a composite optical fiberscope, to see if it can reach and view lung tumors in the outer parts of the lung. Researchers will use lung tissue removed from 50 patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the camera can help doctors spot tumors in hard-to-reach airways.
