Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the Screening Inventory of Psychosocial Problems (SIPP) in consultation settings with respect to early recognition and treatment of psychosocial distress, communication between patients and physicians, and psychological distress and quality of life in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (RT).
A biobank of Serum, plasma, DNA samples together with clinical information including specific questionnaires, complete pulmonary function and chest CT-scan, is prospectively collected in patients seen at the investigators' clinical service. The objective is to study candidate gene pathways in COPD and or lung cancer and to associate them with the clinical characteristics and phenotypes of COPD/emphysema and lung cancer. In subgroups of well characterised patients, other biological materials are also collected (lung tissue biopsies, peripheral blood mononuclear cells).
The main purpose of this study is to learn how patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) respond to the study drug Dasatinib. The study drug, Dasatinib, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of leukemia, but has not been approved for the treatment of other kinds of cancer. The use of Dasatinib in this study is considered experimental.
This is a study in patients with chemotherapy induced anemia receiving multi-cycle chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that overall survival (OS) is not worse in participants on darbepoetin alfa treated to a hemoglobin ceiling of 12.0 g/dL compared to participants treated with placebo.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as beta-glucan, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of beta-glucan in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
This clinical trial studies imaging markers in planning radiation therapy in patients with lung cancer. Implanting markers in the tumor that can be seen using imaging procedures during radiation therapy may allow x-rays to be sent directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test the usability of a computerized symptom assessment and management intervention system in a laboratory setting (phase I) and its feasibility in a clinical setting in a group randomized trial (phase II).
Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled with highly suspected lung cancer, or head and neck cancer. The patients must also be starting radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen (except with 5-fluorouracil). The patients will undergo 3 visits. One screening, one pre therapy PET/CT imaging visit, and one (3-5 weeks after the start of therapy) post PET/CT imaging visit. This study will evaluate the FLT and FDG images for tumor proliferation rates for early assessment of tumor response to radiation or chemo-radiation combo.
RATIONALE: 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 which regimen of radiation therapy is more effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of two radiation therapy regimens and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.
