Summary

This study tests a new way to perform robotic lung surgery for early-stage lung cancer. Surgeons use a special dye that makes healthy lung tissue glow green, so they can see exactly which part to remove and which to save. The goal is to remove only the small cancerous segment instead of an entire lobe, preserving more healthy lung. The study involves 250 adults with small tumors and aims to see if this technique is accurate and safe.
