Evaluating surgical options for lung cancer patients after initial treatment
Official title: Surgical Strategy of NSCLC Patients After Neo-adjuvant or Induction Treatment
Run by Ruijin Hospital · NCT06534489 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if switching from a major lung surgery to a smaller one is safe and helpful for lung cancer patients who have already received treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with pathologically confirmed resectable NSCLC who require pneumonectomy and are eligible for neoadjuvant or induction therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or renal dysfunctions who cannot tolerate surgery will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and prognosis of converting from pneumonectomy to lobectomy in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have undergone neoadjuvant or induction therapy. The study will involve a multicenter approach with an anticipated sample size of 50 patients over a duration of five years. Participants will undergo a series of preoperative evaluations and treatments, including neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy, followed by surgical intervention. Outcomes such as perioperative complications, survival rates, and quality of life will be meticulously recorded and analyzed.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve surgical outcomes and quality of life for lung cancer patients by potentially reducing the need for more invasive pneumonectomy.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving surgical outcomes for lung cancer patients, suggesting potential for success.
