First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a new, step-by-step method for examining lung tissue after surgery can find more lymph nodes than the usual approach. Finding more lymph nodes helps doctors stage lung cancer more accurately and decide if extra treatment like chemotherapy is needed. About 160 adults having lung cancer surgery will take part. The goal is to improve cancer care without changing the surgery itself.
