NCT ID NCT06330038
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study compares two types of anesthesia—propofol-based intravenous anesthesia versus inhaled gas anesthesia—in over 5,300 people having surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if one method leads to a longer time before the cancer comes back. Participants will be randomly assigned to one anesthesia type and followed for recurrence and survival.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Propofol and inhaled anesthetics (sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that choosing propofol anesthesia over gas anesthesia helps prevent lung cancer from coming back after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 4 trial, but the effect of anesthesia on cancer recurrence is still debated and unproven. Results may show no difference or be influenced by other factors.
