Summary

This study tests a new way to perform lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Surgeons will use 3D virtual reality models and a special dye (ICG) that glows under near-infrared light to see exactly which part of the lung needs to be removed. The goal is to make the surgery more precise, reduce complications, and help train future surgeons. About 89 adults with small tumors will take part.
