Study summary

Surgery is the main treatment for early lung cancer. It is worth noting that there are significant differences in postoperative prognosis and surgical methods between microinvasive cancer and early-stage invasive cancer. Micro invasive lung cancer can achieve 100% long-term survival through surgical resection, without the need for postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. There is no need to remove lung lobes during surgery, only segmental or wedge resection is required, and systematic lymph node dissection is not recommended. Therefore, accurate prediction of preoperative and intraoperative microinvasive cancer and invasive cancer in pulmonary nodules is crucial for patients to choose surgical methods, which can significantly affect postoperative lung function retention and overall survival.

Raman spectroscopy (RS), as a non-invasive and highly specific molecular detection technique, can be obtained at the molecular level to sensitively detect changes in biomolecules composed of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and sugars related to tumor metabolism in biological samples. The surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) developed based on this technology is one of the feasible methods for high-sensitivity biomolecule analysis.

We collected serum Raman spectroscopy data from a cohort of 138 early lung cancer patients in our preliminary research. Based on a machine learning model, we constructed an early lung microinvasive cancer and invasive cancer Raman intelligent diagnosis system, which achieved an accuracy rate of 89.4%. To obtain the highest level of clinical evidence and truly achieve clinical translation, this prospective, multicenter clinical study aims to validate the use of this intelligent diagnostic system for early diagnosis of lung cancer and the discrimination between microinvasive cancer and invasive cancer.

  1. Screening interested participants should sign the appropriate informed consent (ICF) prior to completion any study procedures.
  2. The investigator will review symptoms, risk factors, and other non-invasive inclusion and exclusion criteria.
  3. Completion of baseline procedures, participants were assessed for 30 days and completed all safety monitoring.
  4. After completing the baseline assessment and confirming enrollment, participants will be given 2ml of fasting venous blood.

Study population

Chest CT reveals the presence of pulmonary nodules in the patient and plans to undergo surgical treatment.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participants confirmed by chest CT to have pulmonary nodules
  2. The diagnosis of participants with malignant pulmonary nodules must meet the TNM diagnostic criteria (Ninth Edition);
  3. Participants are willing to participate in this study and follow the research plan;
  4. Participants or legally authorized representatives can give written approved by the Ethics Review Committee that manages the website;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants with concomitant other malignant tumors;
  2. Participants with missing baseline clinical data;
  3. Participants with severe underlying lung diseases (such as bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma or , etc.), or those with a history of occupational or environmental exposure to dust, mines or asbestos;
  4. Participants who do not cooperate or refuse to participate in clinical trials at a later stage.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients who underwent chest CT scans and were found to have lung nodules

    Chest CT confirmed the presence of pulmonary nodules in the patient and ultimately underwent surgical intervention. The pulmonary nodules had the final pathological results.
