Robot bronchoscopy could spot lung cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT07057648
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new robotic technology (ssRAB) to take tissue samples from lung nodules. Current methods work only about 70% of the time; the robot aims to be more accurate and safer. About 100 adults with lung nodules will undergo the procedure under anesthesia and be followed for 6 months. If successful, this approach could help diagnose lung cancer earlier and reduce the need for riskier procedures.
