Definitive radiotherapy is one of the important methods for inoperable locally advanced lung cancer. The recommended dose for definitive radiotherapy is 60-70Gy, and the optimal dose is still uncertain. Residual lesion after radiotherapy is a risk factor for recurrence. High doses to targeted tumor areas can effectively improve the local …
This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of YL201 with Topotecan Hydrochloride in subjects with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
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 …
Intro/rationale: Radiotherapy employs uniform, equally spaced weekday fractions that do not account for changes in tumor radiosensitivity. However, radiobiological characteristics evolve during the radiotherapy schedule as reoxygenation increases radiosensitivity. In tumor-response simulations and preclinical experiments, it was superior to prime the tumor with one radiotherapy fraction, followed by a treatment …
This study focuses on the significant impact of lung cancer in China, highlighted by its high incidence and mortality rates, influenced by factors like aging populations, smoking, and environmental issues. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the duration, severity, and factors affecting post-surgery symptoms like pain and coughing in patients. …
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has long been the standard modality for locally advanced small-cell lung cancer, which could achieve median overall survival of 25 mos. Conventional fractionation of 66Gy/33f and hyperfractionation of 45Gy/30f twice daily have been acknowledged as the two standard radiotherapy modalities according to CONVERT study. With the introduction of …
Lung cancer patients undergoing upfront surgery, highly benefit from a systematic lymph node dissection in the mediastinum and in the surgical specimens. The latter is performed by the pathologist. Developing a standardized technique to dissect the lobectomy specimen has the potential of maximizing the retrieval of all N1 stations lymph …
The researchers are doing this study to see if sotorasib is a safe and effective treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a KRAS G12C mutation who have not received treatment for their cancer since it became advanced. (Participants have not received a "first-line therapy" since …
To compare effects of Alternate Nostril Breathing exercise with incentive spirometer on lung functions (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, and peak expiratory flow rate) in Asthma patients.
Lung transplantation is a crucial surgical intervention aimed at increasing survival rates in patients with end-stage lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. One of the most important determinants of health outcomes before and after lung transplantation is exercise capacity. …
