Little is known about how lung mechanics are affected during the very early phase after starting mechanical ventilation. Since the conventional method of measuring esophageal pressure is complicated, hard to interpret and expensive, there are no studies on lung mechanics on intensive care patients directly after intubation, during the first …
The standard or usual treatment for this disease is pembrolizumab given by needle into the veins (IV). Some cancers shed DNA (circulating tumour DNA or ctDNA) or genes (biomarkers) into the blood, and levels of these biomarkers may be able to tell researchers how people respond to treatment with pembrolizumab …
This is pilot study to establish a rapid autopsy program in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) at the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and outline the components necessary for tumor tissue collection.
Phase II study to evaluate the clinical potential of 68GaNOTA-anti-MMR-VHH2 for in vivo imaging of Macrophage Mannose Receptor (MMR)-expressing Macrophages by means of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) planned for surgical resection.
Outcome for patients diagnosed with advanced lung cancer remains poor; alternative treatment options are urgently needed. Studies in other metastatic cancers indicate radiotherapy to the primary tumour can improve outcomes. The investigators postulate this will also be observed in lung cancer patients. The aim of this pilot study is to …
Lung cancer (LC) is usually diagnosed in advanced stages and continues to be the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Cancer cachexia are frequent among patients with LC affecting up to 80% of patients with advanced stage disease, and it has been related with higher risk of complications, length …
To investigate the efficacy of carbon ion therapy for stage Ia-IIa primary peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoint was local control rate, overall survival (OS) and toxicities.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of RFA through a transthoracic or transbronchial approach in the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.
There is a prospective risk-adapted evaluation of the optimal dose of radiotherapy for definitive radiotherapy of locally advanced small cell lung cancer within the corridor recommended as standard therapy according to the current interdisciplinary S3 guideline of the German Cancer Society/Cancer Aid/AWMF
This is an observational study involving the collection of patient-generated health data using an Apple Watch, a home pulse oximeter, and a smartphone during a course of proton beam radiotherapy for lung cancer. The study period over which this information is collected will range from the day of study enrollment …
