ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different surgical methods used during lung surgery for cancer affect patients' recovery and overall quality of life. Specifically, it compares traditional surgery (where a larger cut is made in the chest) with newer, less invasive techniques that use smaller cuts and special tools, like video-assisted and robotic surgery. The goal is to understand why patients who undergo these minimally invasive surgeries seem to have fewer complications and a better recovery experience.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and scheduled for a major lung surgery called a lobectomy. They can be part of the trial if they're having surgery using either the traditional method or the newer minimally invasive techniques, but not if they need a more extensive lung operation. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who take part can expect to help researchers learn important information that may improve surgical care for lung cancer patients in the future.
