Filter by:The purpose of the study is to identify a surrogate serum marker for tumor hypoxia in patients with lung cancers.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Irinotecan may also increase the effectiveness of gemcitabine. Giving irinotecan together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with gemcitabine works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Radiofrequency ablation has achieved impressive results in the treatment of unresectable primary and metastatic liver cancer. Animal studies have demonstrated that radiofrequency can fully ablate lung tumors in animal models. We set up a prospective study to evaluate the local efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of lung neoplasms. The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate local efficacy with a minimal follow-up of one year, tolerance, lung disease-free survival and survival after radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors (primary lung cancer or lung metastases).
The purpose of the study is to describe the regional and global FDG-kinetics in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during percutaneous radiation therapy.
Studies in animals suggest that inhaled budesonide may prevent the occurrence of lung cancer. We conducted a clinical trial to determine the effects of inhaled budesonide in smokers who had precancerous lesions in the breathing tubes (i.e. bronchial dysplasia.
Our study established a model combine the in silico biology and empirical methods to identify clinically useful biomarker from information of microarray gene expression profiles in public domain. Through this method, we found trophinin as a novel prognostic marker for early stage lung cancer, which provide insight towards the process of cancer metastasis and the potential target for treatment.
Amifostine is a radioprotective drug which is approved by the US FDA for administration prior to each radiation treatment using the intravenous route. The study evaluated the safety of amifostine administered subcutaneously. The four targeted toxicities were nausea/vomiting, hypotension, generalized skin rash, and injection-site skin reactions.
Vinorelbine is currently the standard treatment for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Docetaxel has also shown promising results against elderly patients in phase II studies. We conducted a randomized phase III trial to evaluate whether docetaxel provided better overall survival than vinorelbine in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.
A randomized phase III trial of platinum-based chemotherapy alone versus platinum-based chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy with gefitinib in patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC.
To evaluate whether two weekly concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens offer any advantage over concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens with Cisplatin, Vindesine, Mitomycin for unresectable stage III NSCLC.
