LUNG CANCER (NSCLC)

This study aimed to create a simple blood test to find markers of a process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which is linked to many cancers, especially breast and lung cancer. Researchers worked with 250 adults who had breast or lung cancer but had not yet started treat…

This study looked at how safe and effective a new powered stapler is for lung cancer surgery. Researchers reviewed records of 61 patients who had part of their lung removed. They checked for leaks, blood loss, and recovery time. The goal was to see if the device works well withou…

This study compared two ways of doing lung cancer surgery: one with a breathing tube (intubated) and one without (tubeless). The goal was to see if the tubeless approach causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces carbon emissions. 73 adults with early-sta…

This study looked at 500 people with non-small cell lung cancer who had surgery. Researchers used a blood test to find circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and checked if the number or type of these cells could predict whether the cancer would come back. The goal was to learn how well …

This study tested a new real-time, non-invasive method to locate small lung nodules during surgery, compared to the usual CT-guided needle approach. Forty people with at least two small lung nodules (under 20 mm) took part. The goal was to see if the new method helps surgeons suc…

This study looked at how much time patients spent lying, sitting, or standing after lung surgery (VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy) using enhanced recovery methods. Researchers tracked activity before and after surgery in 51 adults and asked about reasons for not moving. The goal …
