NCT ID NCT07509333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a team of specialists—including surgeons, oncologists, and geriatricians—can create better treatment plans for elderly lung cancer patients. 2,000 people aged 60-90 will receive personalized care based on their overall health and cancer type. The goal is to see if this team approach improves survival and quality of life compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multidisciplinary team (MDT) decision-making model
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a standardized team approach to personalize treatment for elderly lung cancer patients, potentially improving survival and reducing side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with historical controls, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. The model may not work for all patients or be easy to implement elsewhere.
