This is an observational study involving the collection of patient-generated health data using an Apple Watch, a home pulse oximeter, and a smartphone during a course of proton beam radiotherapy for lung cancer. The study period over which this information is collected will range from the day of study enrollment …
Cerebrospinal fluid was obtained from the cerebrospinal cavity of non-small cell lung cancer patients with central nervous system metastasis, blood was obtained from veins, and metastatic lung cancer tumor tissue was obtained from surgically resected brain tumors or meningeal tumors. Then comprehensively analyze the exosomes contained in the aforementioned samples, …
Immunotherapy has recently become a main-stream treatment option in cancer care, with improved clinical outcomes in many malignancies, especially that of lung cancer. The long-term benefits of this treatment however are limited. There is therefore a critical need to distinguish predictive biomarkers of response from those of resistance, and to …
This is a clinical trial from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1012. The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm the theraputic effect of segmentectomy for ground glass-dominant invasive lung cancer with size of 2-3cm. The main questions it aims to answer are: The 5-year disease-free …
This this study is for individuals who have treatment-naïve extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (small cell lung cancer that wont respond to treatment). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if combining durvalumab, carboplatin and etoposide with hyofractionated ablative radiation therapy (radiation focused on certain parts of the body) will …
Study aims to determine if functional lung avoidance based on perfusion single photon emission (SPECT)/CT scan, improves toxicity outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. Functional avoidance implies a dose plan that takes functional distribution in the lung into account, and avoids highly functional lung volumes sparing them …
Immunotherapy has improved the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, but about 80% of patients do not respond at all (primary resistance), and some patients initially respond to immunotherapy, later relapse and develop disease progression (acquired resistance). So the objective of this research is to explore the sugar …
Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) with chemoimmunotherapy is currently indicated for patients with locoregional advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prior to resection surgery, but literature has suggested that this is associated with decreased pulmonary function and potentially cardiorespiratory fitness, leading to increased risk of postoperative complications. In this study, we aimed …
The goal of this multicenter observational study is to evaluate the long-term survival and perioperative outcomes of sleeve lobectomy in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for patients with central lung cancer when compared with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) approach, both of which have been already applied to these patients in minimally …
Phase 1/1b, safety, feasibility, and light dose titration study followed by further study of therapeutic ablation effects. Patients with high risk of peripheral primary lung cancer, stage 1A1/1A2, for whom surgical treatment is planned, will be recruited. Surgery will be performed at 5-21 days following the VTP procedure. Study intervention: …
