RECRUITING

The Impact of Surgical Technique on Circulating Tumor DNA in Stage I-III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Description

This clinical trial compares the effect of pulmonary vein-first surgical technique to pulmonary artery-first surgical technique in decreasing circulating tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) in patients with stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer. Pulmonary vein first and pulmonary artery first surgical techniques are standard surgical techniques for the division of the blood vessels during lung resection surgery. Pulmonary vein-first surgical technique may reduce the risk of shedding tumor cells during surgery and influence long term overall survival.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Any patients 18 years of age or older with confirmed or suspected early-stage (stage I-III) NSCLC
  • * Eligible and scheduled for surgical anatomic lung resection (e.g. lobectomy or segmentectomy) as routine clinical care for their disease
  • * Previous cancer diagnosis within 5 years (except ductal carcinoma in situ \[DCIS\] of the breast, superficial bladder cancer, non-melanoma skin primary, other malignancy that does not require treatment).
  • * Preoperative chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy
  • * Receipt of perioperative blood transfusion
