AI predicts best lung cancer surgery for each patient
NCT ID NCT07256457
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will use artificial intelligence and 3D CT scans to predict how well a person's lungs will work after different treatments for early-stage lung cancer. About 192 adults with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer will be followed for two years after surgery or a minimally invasive ablation procedure. The goal is to help doctors choose the best treatment to preserve lung function and improve quality of life.
