A Prehabilitation Program to Boost Postoperative Functional Capacity in Surgical Lung Cancer Patients
This research study is evaluating a prehabiliation intervention designed to improve postoperative functional capacity (measured by 6-minure walking distance) in individuals undergoing lung resection for cancer.
Couple-Based Meditation for Metastatic Lung Cancer Patients and Their Partners
Objectives Our specific aims are to: Aim 1: Examine the feasibility of a couple-based meditation program in 50 patients with metastatic lung cancer and their partners. Aim 2: Establish the initial efficacy of a couple-based meditation program in patients and their partners regarding physical, psychological, and spiritual quality of life …
Image Guided VATS vs. VATS Resection
To evaluate workflow and outcomes of iVATS and standard VATS for small pulmonary nodules. The outcomes of the patients will be evaluated separately as there will be no direct comparison of the two arms.
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 …
Pathways, a Hope Intervention to Support Personal Goal Pursuit, Mental Health, and Quality of Life During Advanced Lung Cancer Treatment
This study will compare the effects of a brief supportive intervention, called Pathways, against enhanced usual care on the mental health and quality of life of people undergoing treatment for advanced lung cancer. Patients will complete baseline survey measures and be randomized to intervention. Survey measures will be collected again …
Ultrasound-guided Cryobiopsy of Mediastinal/Hilar Lymph Nodes
EBUS-guided cryobiopsy of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes has shown to be a useful diagnostic tool to obtain tissue for histological analysis and further targeted therapies in lung malignancies. Due to the large size and better quality of the tissue samples, a higher diagnostic yield than with transbronchial needle aspiration …
Leveraging the Emergency Department (LEAD) Study
This is a pilot Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial. The study will first examine reach in a non-traditional setting (the Emergency Department - ED) that uses an Electronic Health Record (EHR)-embedded Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) screening tool to identify lung screening-eligible patients for a tailored intervention to increase lung …
Preliminary Efficacy of Different Exercise Training During Immunotherapy in Patients With Lung Cancer: The ENHANCE Trial
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effects of 12-week exercise training at different intensities among individuals with advanced lung cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are:
Investigation of the Effects of Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients With Lung Cancer
Patients' pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity worsen following lung cancer surgery. Diaphragmatic activity and lung compliance decrease due to surgery. Peripheral and respiratory muscle functions are impaired in patients with lung cancer, exercise capacity and physical activity level decreased. Patients have postural instability and balance problems. Inspiratory muscle training has …
Comparing Valve-regulated Pleural Drainage to Traditional Closed Chest Tube Drainage
Thoracic drainage is an important adjunctive treatment following thoracic surgery, primarily aimed at removing postoperative blood, air, and exudate from the thoracic cavity. It helps maintain negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, promotes full lung expansion, and prevents pulmonary complications, especially atelectasis. Traditional closed thoracic drainage methods have many limitations. …
