ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying different surgical methods used to remove part of the lung in patients with early-stage lung cancer, specifically a type called non-small cell lung cancer. The researchers are comparing robotic surgery to two other techniques: video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and traditional open surgery. The goal is to understand any complications that might happen during or after these procedures.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and have had surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer since January 2010. The study is currently looking for participants, and anyone who meets these criteria might be eligible to join. If you do participate, you can expect to share your surgical experience, and the researchers will analyze the outcomes to help improve care for future patients. This study is important because it may help doctors determine the safest and most effective surgical options for people with early-stage lung cancer.
