Robotic biopsies help unlock lung cancer genetics for future research
NCT ID NCT06482073
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how well robotic biopsies can collect enough tissue to find genetic changes linked to lung cancer. About 40 adults at high risk for lung cancer or with suspected spread to the lungs will take part. The goal is to create a databank of genetic and medical information for future studies, not to provide direct treatment.
