Surgery for early-stage lung cancer with ground glass nodules
Official title: Segmentectomy for Ground Glass-dominant Invasive Lung Cancer With Size of 2-3cm: a Single-arm, Multi-center, Phase III Trial
Run by Fudan University · NCT05717803 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a lung-sparing surgery called segmentectomy can help people with early-stage lung cancer live longer and breathe better after treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with ground glass-dominant lung adenocarcinoma that is 2-3 cm in size and can be completely resected.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with tumors that cannot be completely resected or those who have received prior lung cancer treatments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of segmentectomy, a lung-sparing surgical procedure, for patients with ground glass-dominant invasive lung adenocarcinoma measuring 2-3 cm. The study will assess the 5-year disease-free survival rates and post-operative lung function of participants. Eligible patients will undergo segmentectomy and will be monitored for their recovery and long-term outcomes. The trial is part of the Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP) and focuses on a specific subset of lung cancer patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a less invasive surgical option for patients with early-stage lung cancer, potentially improving survival rates and preserving lung function.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results for segmentectomy in similar patient populations, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
