NCT ID NCT05453721
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tested two methods to help surgeons identify the correct lung section to remove during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. One method uses a special dye (indocyanine green) and a camera to see the section, while the other uses air to inflate and deflate the lung. The goal was to see which method works better and faster. The study involved 272 adults aged 18 to 80 who were having this type of surgery.
