Overview Sierra Medical is at the forefront of early detection of lung cancer by creating AIR-DS, a non-invasive early detection test. This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance the early identification of lung cancer, potentially catching it at its most treatable stages through a simple cheek swab. How it works …
Background Synchronous multifocal primary lung cancer (sMPLC) presents a therapeutic challenge, particularly for bilateral lesions. While surgical resection is standard for unilateral sMPLC, bilateral surgery carries high perioperative risks. This study evaluates postoperative adjuvant therapy with almonertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, to reduce secondary surgery rates by targeting residual contralateral lesions …
Lung cancer screening trials using low-dose chest CT scans have shown a significant reduction of cancer related mortality in subjects at high risk of lung cancer. However, high rate of false positives and overdiagnosis have led to invasive methods, which are not without risks. Evaluation of lung nodules using lung …
The general goal of the STARLighT study is to test whether a structured physical exercise and nutritional intervention significantly impacts clinical outcomes in patients with early-stage lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can structured physical exercise and nutrition intervention positively modify the pathological complete response in …
Robotic surgical systems have become a promising surgical assistance system, with unique advantages such as 3D high-definition visual system, highly flexible wrist-jointed instruments, and automatic fitering of hand tremors. Robotic surgical systems is applied in various fields including urology, general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, head and neck surgery, and gynecology. Currently, …
This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of eliminating the PTV (planning target volume) margins based on online adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy for patients with centrally located early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In recent years, an increasing number of pulmonary nodules have been detected through CT screening. The traditional surgical method for lung cancer is lobectomy combined with lymph node dissection. However, recent studies have demonstrated that sublobar resection for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an effective alternative with the …
The purpose of this study is to compare the use of a virtual agent vs. a human agent when onboarding oncology patients over the telephone to Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) devices. RPM devices are instruments that a patient can use to measure their own weight and vital signs. Both the …
CT imaging data from lung cancer (NSCLC and SCLC) patients prior to the initiation of immunotherapy (and possibly also after treatment) will be collected. The processing pipeline includes automatic tumor segmentation, radiomics feature extraction, feature selection, and construction of a classification model.
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 …
