Stanford Program to Accelerate Robotic Children's Surgery
Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide additional data to confirm safety and performance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System in a human clinical setting. This pilot study is intended to provide an initial assessment to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness for the utilization of the da Vinci Xi on pediatric and adolescent patients. This clinical trial will be conducted under the auspices of Stanford University's IRB approval.

ENDO GIA™ Stapler With ENDO GIA™ Reload With Tri-Staple™ Technology in a Pulmonary Resection
Description

The objectives of this clinical trial are to compare the incidence and duration of air leaks and the incidence of prolonged air leaks (defined as \> 5 days by the Society for Thoracic Surgery) when using the ENDO GIA™ Stapler with ENDO GIA™ SULU with TRI-STAPLE™ Technology in a pulmonary resection via Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS).

Phosphoproteomic Patterns as a Novel Biomarker for Aurora and Polo-like Kinase Inhibitors in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Description

The investigators have characterized in preclinical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) models the proteomic expression profile associated with exposure to Aurora and Polo-like kinase inhibitors. The identification of proteomic expression patterns in patients with NSCLC would be an important step in defining the possible role of these agents as potential targeted therapies for this clinically important disease. This study proposes to evaluate resected non-small cell lung cancer specimens for these proteomic expression profiles.

RECRUITING
Auricular Acupressure in Prehabilitation
Description

Complementary medicine is recognized for its ability to enhance appetite, increase energy, reduce anxiety, decrease pain, and improve sleep, among many other benefits. Acupuncture is among the most frequent types of complementary medicine practiced in the US, and Medicare currently includes back pain as a reimbursable indication for this therapy. Acupuncture-related therapies may enhance efforts at prehabilitation in candidates for major lung resection.
