Lung cancer biopsy study: fewer needle passes may be enough for genetic tests
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at the best way to collect tissue samples from lung cancer patients using a thin tube passed through the mouth (endobronchial ultrasound). It compares taking 2 versus 3 samples from each lymph node to see if fewer samples still provide enough material for genetic…

AI reads lung scans to catch cancer earlier
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors find and describe lung nodules on CT scans. Lung nodules can be a sign of early-stage lung cancer, but telling harmless ones from dangerous ones is hard. The AI will learn from 329 adults' CT images and biopsy…
