New MRI technique aims to see lung Cancer's immune profile without surgery
NCT ID NCT07486219
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether advanced MRI scans can identify different immune types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without needing a tissue biopsy. Researchers will scan 50 adults with early-stage lung cancer and compare MRI results to standard lab tests. If successful, this approach could help doctors choose treatments faster and less invasively.
