Prospective longitudinal cohort associated to blood collection, pathological samples collection, and radiological and pathological imaging collection.
This study is a multi-center, observational, real-world study for patients with resected lung cancers in China. With the help of a properly designed data processing algorithm and extensively performed data quality assurance, this study aims to harness the potential of real-world big data to (1) describe characteristics and treatment patterns …
Low-dose CT Screening has been shown in two large trials in the United States (NLST) and Europe (NELSON) to increase overall survival in subjects 55 years of age and older with a strong smoking history. Unfortunately, in both North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), subjects are found to have …
This prospective, multicenter observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and clinical monitoring performance of a nitride-based Raman biochip in participants with and without lung cancer. Peripheral blood samples will be collected and analyzed using the Raman biochip to characterize molecular spectral patterns and assess their association with the current …
LUNG-ROLL is a retrospective cohort study that will describe the contemporary treatment patterns, prevalence and incidence, patient demographic and clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes, and healthcare resource use/costs for patients with lung cancer in Canada (specifically, Alberta and Ontario) using administrative data.
Hypothesis 1a: The investigators anticipate that navigator decision coaching, compared to enhanced usual care (EUC) will result in higher quality SDM for lung cancer screening (LCS )(primary outcome), greater knowledge of lung cancer screening benefits and harms, and lower decisional conflict. Hypothesis 1b: Compared to enhanced usual care (EUC), we …
The primary objective of the protocol is to develop a comprehensive specimen banking program from patients with lung cancer for future translation research, which will enable the investigators to detect lung cancer earlier, develop better therapies and explore screening and prevention strategies.
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Squamous NSCLC is cancer that starts in squamous cells, which are flat cells that line the inside of the airways in the lungs. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. …
Patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer have been historically treated with surgery whenever they are fit for an operation. However, an alternative treatment known as stereotactic radiotherapy now appears to offer an equally effective alternative. Doctors believe both are good treatments and are therefore conducting this study to …
Lung cancer can be detected via screening of high-risk individuals, i.e current or ex-heavy smokers, with low-dose computer tomography (LDCT) of thorax. The National Lung Screening Trial in US and the NELSON trial in Europe demonstrated reduction in lung cancer mortality with LDCT screening for lung cancer. In Hong Kong, …
