Multi Omics Molecular Characteristics and Immunophenotyping of Lung Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to reveal the molecular characteristics and immune microenvironmental profile of signet ring cell carcinoma of the lung (LSRCC) in the Chinese population through integrated multi-omics analyses. The project plans to enroll formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples and paired adjacent tissues from 39 patients with previously untreated LSRCC …
Liquid Biopsy Assay of EBUS-TBNA Supernatant Fluid for Diagnosing Lung Cancer
Background and aim: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the gold standard of lung cancer staging, yet up to 15% of procedures produce inadequate samples for definite diagnosis or staging. In such cases, more invasive surgical procedures are usually considered. Fluid collected during EBUS-TBNA is centrifuged to produce a …
68Ga-grazytracer PET Assists in Diagnosing Pseudoprogression Following Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer.
Currently, there are limited methods available in clinical practice to distinguish pseudoprogression after immunotherapy. Most patients rely on follow-up observations to monitor the disease, which does not meet clinical needs. 68Ga-grazytracer is a novel imaging agent targeting granzyme B. By detecting the concentration of granzyme B, it reflects the localization …
ERectile Dysfunctions, gOnadotoxicity and Sexual Health Assessment in Men With Lung Cancer
Although many phase III clinical trials evaluate the quality of life as a secondary endpoint, male sexuality remains a neglected topic in oncology research. In light of the long-term efficacy of new-generation anticancer treatments for ANSCLC (i.e. targeted therapies and immunotherapy), there is a paucity of data about any detrimental …
Quantifying 18kDa TSPO Expression in the Lung in Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH)
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the TSPO PET signal (measured with the radioligand [11C]PBR28) in the lungs of patients living with PAH relative to age matched controls. If so, TSPO PET may be a useful technique to non-invasively monitor response to …
Heterogeneity of Dendritic Cells in Colon and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Prospective study with the use of biological samples. The centers involved are the Thoracic Surgery and Surgery 1 Units of the San Gerardo Hospital in Monza.
Quantitation and Spatial Registration of Airways Dysfunction With Dynamic 19F MRI in Cystic Fibrosis
The purpose of this study is to look at lung ventilation in people with cystic fibrosis over time (1 year) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an inhaled contrast gas, and compare these measures to lung function assessed by spirometry and multiple breath nitrogen washout. This study also looks at …
Remote Sputum Collection in Cystic Fibrosis
Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor or Trikafta improves lung health in people with cystic fibrosis (CF), including decreased cough and mucous production. Diagnosing lung infections has become more challenging due to the decrease in sputum and rise of telehealth services. While the option of collecting sputum samples at home and sending them by mail …
Effect of Alcohol and Drugs of Abuse on Immune Function in Critically Ill Patients With Respiratory Failure
This study plans to learn more about people who are sick in the hospital with a lung infection, or respiratory failure. Respiratory failure, or severe lung failure, is a life-threatening disease. When it happens, the lungs have trouble carrying out their normal function of getting oxygen into the blood, and …
The Importance of Inflammatory Markers Calculated From Preoperative and Postoperative Peripheral Blood Results in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients Operated for Hydatid Cyst of the Lung (Lung Echinococcus Granulosus)
This study aims to investigate the role of these laboratory findings in the differential diagnosis and management of pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) by examining the number of euzonophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune inflammatory index values in the peripheral blood of patients diagnosed with …
