Robot vs. doctor: new study aims to improve lung biopsy accuracy
NCT ID NCT07277088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new robot-assisted system to the standard manual method for taking a tissue sample (biopsy) from a lung nodule. The goal is to see if the robot is as safe and effective at diagnosing lung cancer or other conditions. About 158 adults with suspicious lung nodules will be randomly assigned to one of the two biopsy methods. The main focus is on how often the biopsy gives a clear diagnosis, along with procedure time and complication rates.
