Ex-Vivo COF Study for Lung Cancer Observation

Lung Cancer

Accessing nodules located in the most outer part of the lung is challenging. Tissue that will be removed from the lung will be used to see if we can reach and see the nodule with a very small camera. This camera that may reach in the smaller and outer airways is called a composite optical fiberscope (COF).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate insertion ability of the COF and visualization of the lung tumor by the COF. In order to do so, we plan to evaluate 50 patient samples from the University Health Network over the span of 2 years.
