Summary

This study compares how patients feel after two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage lung cancer: segmentectomy (removing a small part of the lung) and lobectomy (removing a whole lobe). Researchers will track shortness of breath, physical function, and quality of life for one year after surgery. 180 participants will answer questionnaires before surgery and at several follow-up points. The goal is to see which procedure leads to better breathing and well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
minimally invasive lung surgery (segmentectomy or lobectomy via VATS or RATS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors choose the surgery that gives patients less shortness of breath and better quality of life after lung cancer treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures outcomes after standard surgery, so it won't test a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to all lung cancer patients.
