The goal of this observational study is to develop and evaluate a blood test for asymptomatic heavy smokers to screen for those at highest risk of developing lung cancer. The aim of this study is to develop, train, and validate a blood-based screening test designed to detect biomarkers associated with …
The goal of this randomized intervention trial is to determine the effect of bright light therapy on sleep disturbance, as well as to investigate the impacts of bright light therapy on biological age measured by clinical biomarkers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does bright light therapy improve …
Based on the high expression of specific receptors on the surface of diseased tissues and neovascularization, noninvasive targeted molecular imaging can be used to visualize lesions in vitro by combining specific ligands labeled with short half-life isotopes. Lung cancer tissues express fibroblast activating protein FAP, and also have high expression …
In this pilot study the investigators propose the intraoperative use of a high-resolution PET-CT imaging system which can assess resection margins and lymph node status in the operating room. This will allow for a faster and stepwise assessment (estimated to be under 10 minutes per specimen), enabling the surgeon to …
Create a living biobank of PDOs from Stage I-III lung cancer patients.
The mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to oncogene-targeted therapy can be determined from tumor tissue or tumor cell lines derived from available archival samples and/or from standard-of-care re-biopsy upon suspected tumor progression.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy combined with spatial fractionation radiotherapy and low dose radiotherapy on the prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer under specific dose regimens (spatial fractionation radiotherapy: high dose region: 800-1200cGy × 3f, low dose region: 100-300cGy × 5f; low …
Aim 1: Culturally adapt the TELESCOPE intervention for Hispanics. Using iterative qualitative feedback from a study-specific Community Advisory Board, focus groups, and interviews with community members, the investigators will culturally adapt the TELESCOPE intervention for Hispanics at high risk for lung cancer. Aim 2: Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation …
This clinical trial compares efficacy in postoperative pain management in thoracic surgery between erector spinae block versus liposomal bupivacaine injections.
This study will be an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of acupuncture to enhance the response rate of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Does acupuncture heighten the response rate of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer? 2. Does acupuncture heighten the …
