First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see and remove the first lymph node draining a lung tumor during surgery. The goal is to better detect if cancer has spread and to remove that node for analysis. About 57 adults with early-stage lung cancer are taking part. The approach is experimental and aims to improve accuracy, not to cure the disease.
