Robotic surgery to remove small lung tumors while preserving healthy tissue

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the use of near-infrared fluorescence guidance in robotic pulmonary segmentectomy for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The approach aims to remove only the affected segment of the lung, thereby preserving more healthy lung tissue compared to traditional lobectomy. By utilizing indocyanine green (ICG) for enhanced visualization during surgery, the study seeks to improve surgical outcomes for patients with small tumors. The trial is focused on patients with tumors less than 3 cm in size and confined to a single broncho-pulmonary segment.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age \> 18 years
2. Tumor size \<3 cm
3. Clinical Stage 1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
4. CT-imaging confirming that the tumour is confined to the one broncho-pulmonary segment, rendering the patient a candidate for segmental resection.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Hypersensitivity or allergy to ICG, sodium iodide or iodine
2. Women who are currently pregnant or are breast feeding; or women of child bearing potential who are not currently taking adequate birth control.
