Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 30–80 with NSCLC scheduled for surgical treatment who have not yet received systemic therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not provide tissue samples or who have contraindications to surgery may 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

Researchers will collect 500 lung tissue samples from NSCLC patients undergoing surgery to map the lung fungal community using high-throughput sequencing and traditional culture methods. They will integrate pathology, clinical data, and follow-up information to identify fungi associated with subtypes, stages, and prognosis. The study aims to build a fungal resource bank for NSCLC and explore potential roles of fungi in diagnosis and prognosis. This is an observational study without an active intervention.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could improve understanding of NSCLC biology and potentially inform future diagnostic or prognostic approaches.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown associations between microbial communities and cancer features in some cancers; this study focuses on lung fungal microbiota and expands on exploratory analyses.
