The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) can improve the real-time diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients undergoing bronchoscopic biopsy for suspected lung tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a high-specificity CLE-based score accurately identify NSCLC …
Infectious complications represent the most common postoperative adverse events following esophagectomy for cancer, such as pneumonia (15% of cases). These complications increase immediate risks, lengthen hospital stays, and worsen patient quality of life. The population includes patients admitted to intensive care after esophagectomy for cancer between January 1, 2017, and …
Prevention of postoperative pain is essential for the recovery of esophageal surgery. Epidural analgesia is a traditional and standard perioperative pain management for these patients. Beneficials of epidural analgesia have been widely established. However, there are still several potential disadvantages such as perioperative hypotension, failure of administration, rare but serious …
The aim of this Phase 2 study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of LS301-IT, a novel fluorescence imaging agent developed by Integro Theranostics (IT), administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in patients undergoing VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) or RATS (Robotic-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) resection of Stage …
Patients with lung cancer often have reduced physical fitness and coexisting health problems, which may limit their ability to tolerate oncological treatment. Standard resting lung and heart tests do not always reflect real-life physical capacity during everyday activities or physical effort. This observational study aims to assess cardiorespiratory fitness in …
GALENOS 2 is a single-arm, single-center, phase II interventional study designed to evaluate the effects of a galenic immunonutrition dietary supplement in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, locally advanced rectal cancer, or lung cancer undergoing standard antineoplastic treatment. The study aims to assess whether the formula may …
This prospective, non-randomized, unblinded pilot study evaluates and compares the intrapulmonary distribution of exogenous surfactant in preterm neonates when administered via Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) versus conventional endotracheal intubation (ETT). Lung ultrasound (LUS) will be utilized to assess the pioneer Surfactant Distribution Homogeneity Index (SDHI) to quantify the evenness …
This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of multimodal nutritional status and sarcopenia assessment in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Postoperative complications, mortality, and prolonged hospital stay remain major clinical concerns in thoracic surgery. Although malnutrition and sarcopenia are recognized as important determinants of surgical outcomes, …
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 …
The purpose of this trial is to test a deescalated 3-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) regimen to 45 Gray (Gy) in 3 fractions for centrally located thoracic tumors.
