Summary

This study looks at two types of minimally invasive surgery for central lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) and video-assisted (VATS). Researchers want to see which one helps patients live longer without cancer coming back. About 450 adults with non-small cell lung cancer will take part, and their health will be tracked for three years.
