Molecular Analysis of Endoscopic Cytology Samples Supernatant in Pulmonary Nodules
Lung cancer screening is based on low dose CT scan (LDCT), a highly sensitive but poorly specific tool. Complementary specific approaches are thus strongly needed, among which cell-free DNA (cfDNA) genotyping has been proven highly specific but of low sensitivity (25 to 50% for stage I diseases) due to inconstant …
Use of Harmonic Scalpel to Decrease Lymphatic and Chest Tube Drainage After Lymph Node Dissection With Lobectomy.
In an effort to elucidate whether the Harmonic Scalpel will improve sealing lymphatics and decrease lymphatic drainage thereby decreasing the length of time that chest tubes are required and minimizing length of stay; the Harmonic Scalpel will be compared to a control group which uses electrocautery. This study will assess …
Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration for Lymph Node Staging in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Pursuing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
It is reported that more than 90,000 patients died of lung cancer and more than 20% of them were older than 80 years in North America. Therefore a less invasive but effective treatment is required for patients with lung cancer of advanced age, diminished pulmonary functions, and chronic diseases. Stereotactic …
Study Comparing Two Different Schedules of Radiation for Early-stage Lung Cancer
This study's goal is to find out if the kind of side effects people experience from radiation is different depending on the schedule of their radiation treatment. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the 3 Fraction or 5 Fraction schedule of radiation. After patients complete radiation treatment, they will …
Supplementation of n-3 PUFA in the Modulation of Lean Mass in Patients With Lung Cancer Receiving a High-protein Diet
This study is conducted to test the hypothesis that patients with lung cancer undergoing treatment with immunotherapy, chemotherapy and tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors receiving a high protein diet and supplemented with fish oil will improve muscle mass, therapeutic response and modulate the intestinal microbiota within a 4 month period.
DUMAS: Neo-Adjuvant Immunotherapy for Pancoast Tumors
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of induction treatment of immunotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the resection status for the treatment of non small cell lung cancer patients diagnosed with pancoast tumor. The main objectives it aims to answer are: Complete resection rate after induction …
Adding Certolizumab to Chemotherapy + Nivolumab in People Who Have Lung Cancer That Can Be Treated With Surgery
The purpose of the study is to explore adding the study drug certolizumab to standard chemotherapy as it may reduce the inflammation caused by the cancer and make the chemotherapy more effective in shrinking the cancer. This study will examine whether adding certolizumab to the usual treatment approach is better …
Develop and Test the Effects of the 'Computer-Assisted OPD COPSCCP on Early Stage Lung Cancer Patients
Although there is a relatively better prognosis, the 5-year survival rate for early stage lung cancer (Stage I, II, IIIA) is still relatively low compared to those other types of cancer. These patients might suffer lots from the uncertainty and substantial disease and treatment related physical changes. The investigator aims …
Tribally Engaged Approaches to Lung Screening (TEALS)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), and AI/AN have worse lung cancer incidence rates, survival, and death compared to the general population. Because lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality …
MRD Guiding Treatment After Almonertinib Induction Therapy for EGFRm+ Stage III NSCLC in the MDT Diagnostic Model.
This is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, phase III study. It is aimed to firstly evaluate the effectiveness and safety of almonertinib induction therapy in EGFR-mutated patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dynamic MRD guided maintenance therapy with almonertinib after …
