Lung cancer showdown: surgery vs. radiation in High-Risk patients

NCT ID NCT07432802

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two treatments for high-risk patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: minimally invasive surgery (wedge resection) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The goal is to see which approach leads to longer disease-free survival and better quality of life. The trial will enroll 182 participants across Denmark and follow them for up to 5 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or minimally invasive wedge resection surgery

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could provide clear evidence on whether radiation or surgery is better for controlling early-stage lung cancer in high-risk patients, helping doctors make more informed treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This trial is not yet recruiting and has a relatively small size (182 participants). Results may not apply to all patients, and both treatments carry risks like complications from surgery or side effects from radiation.
