Sleeve Lobectomy for Lung Cancer in Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Sleeve Lobectomy for Lung Cancer in Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques: a Multicenter Cohort Study


Sponsor

Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Enrollment

450 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Summary

The goal of this multicenter observational study is to evaluate the long-term survival and perioperative outcomes of sleeve lobectomy in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for patients with central lung cancer when compared with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach, both of which have been already applied to these patients in minimally invasive surgical techniques as part of their regular medical care recently. The main question it aims to answer is: Are RATS sleeve lobectomy associated with similar or even better long-term survival and perioperative outcomes for patients with central lung cancer when compared with the VATS approach?


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects data on a specialized lung cancer surgery technique called "sleeve lobectomy" — where a section of airway is removed and reconnected — performed using minimally invasive methods, to understand outcomes and improve surgical approaches. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You are suspected to have lung cancer and likely to need a sleeve lobectomy - Your final pathology confirms non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) - You have no history of another cancer in the past 5 years - You have signed consent to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot safely undergo surgery - The pathology after surgery does not confirm NSCLC (e.g., it is benign or small cell cancer) - You had another cancer within the past 5 years - Follow-up data cannot be obtained - You withdraw consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
