Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who are light or never smokers.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as an urgent chest x-ray, may help in planning cancer treatment. It is not yet known whether standard medical care is more effective than an urgent x-ray in diagnosing lung cancer in smokers with chest symptoms who are older than 60 years. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying standard medical care to see how well it works compared with an urgent chest x-ray in diagnosing lung cancer in smokers with chest symptoms who are older than 60 years.
This is a cross-sectional, observational and correlational survey study.This study is aim to survey the the knowledge, attitudes, and decision making towards clinical trials in cancer patients in Taiwan (R.O.C.), which attempts to invite some cancer patients who have been experienced the treatment clinical trials' informed consent process. The research tool is a questionnaire which includes some scale: (1)Clinical trial Knowledge scale, (2) Attitude toward randomized clinical trials scale, (3) Shared Decision Making(SDM-Q-9),(4) Satisfaction with Decision (SWD-scale), and (5) Decision Regret scale(DRS). The investigators expect the research outcome can provide some instructions to improve patients' autonomy, satisfaction of the decision making and communication process between patients and Medical professors whenever cancer patients participating in clinical trials.
The purpose of this study is to modify the surgical technique of VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Surgery with or without internal radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether stereotactic body radiation therapy is more effective than surgery with or without internal radiation therapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well surgery with or without internal radiation therapy works compared with stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with high-risk stage IA or stage IB non-small cell lung cancer.
- First study (BRONC-ART) The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the 90-day morbidity and mortality rates of bronchial transplantation using cryopreserved aortic allograft in proximal lung cancer surgery. The investigators hypothesize that this stage 1-2 surgical innovation could be safe and effective in order to reduce the 90-day morbidity and mortality rates compared to those observed with pneumonectomy, especially when some factors are present: age > 70 years, right side, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. - Current study (TRACHEO BRONC-ART) The BRONC-ART study was extended to major (malignant or benign) lesions of the trachea requiring airway transplantation. For these patients, resection followed by direct end to end anastomosis is not possible or at high risk.
The purpose of this study is to study the Development and Application of Rapid Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kits for Clinical Specimens. Subjects are divided into two groups which are health group and Tuberculosis or lung cancer group in order to compare with the difference.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if an imaging solution called 18F-PEG6-IPQA can help to find tumors when used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. The safety of the solution and how the solution is processed by your body will also be studied.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare armodafinil and minocycline when given alone or in combination to learn which is better for controlling symptoms, such as the side effects of chemoradiation, when given to treat lung cancer.
This study is: - A single-center, randomized, prospective controlled trial. - To prove superiority of active pain management group compared to control group by the percent of pain intensity difference of outpatients with lung cancer pain. - 204 patients will be recruited.
