Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate raman spectroscopic analysis of bronchoscopic biopsy for diagnosing lung cancer in visible lesions in the airway. The main question it aims to answer are: the diagnostic efficacy raman spectroscopic analysis of bronchoscopic biopsy for diagnosing lung cancer. The bronchoscopic biopsy sample of patients with visible lesions in the airway would undergo raman spectrum analysis.
The goal of this study is to learn if using a lay VA volunteer, who will assist patients with education regarding precision medicine, can improve care quality and outcomes for Veteran patients with lung cancer.
As a result of the review in the literature, no study was found in which tele-pulmonary rehabilitation was applied after physiotherapist-supervised lung resection via video conferencing. Therefore, in this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of tele-pulmonary rehabilitation in patients diagnosed with lung cancer and undergoing lung resection.
The current study will recruit lung cancer patients to measure tissue protein synthesis rates of non-small cell lung carcinomas and healthy lung tissue. The protein synthesis rates of healthy lung tissue will be compared to lung tumor tissue to establish the remodeling characteristics of healthy versus cancerous lung tissues. We will also examine whether tissue protein synthesis rates of non-small cell lung carcinomas are associated with various tumor- (i.e., size, subclassification) and patient-derived (i.e., inflammation, lung function, smoking status, and smoking history) parameters.
In this proof-of-concept, ex vivo study, the study team will investigate whether Raman spectroscopy technology is a good candidate for the identification of cancerous lung tissue.
This study aims to investigate the impact of immunotherapy on the immune status of tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood of chest cancer patients. To do so, the investigators plan to collect tumor tissue and peripheral blood samples before and after immunotherapy, and use single-cell RNA sequencing, Multiplex immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. The investigators will analyze changes in the proportion of cancer cell-specific T-cell subpopulations related to treatment response before and after therapy, and seek biological markers that can predict the efficacy of immunotherapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of AI-assisted radiotherapy contouring software in CT images for thoracic organs at risk. After screening, qualified participants' thoracic CT images will be anonymized and randomized to two sequences, one with independent investigator contouring of thoracic organs at risk, followed by washout period and software-assisted contouring, and the other in reverse sequence. The washout period lasts for at least 4 weeks. Investigators will not only contour organs at risk in their own center, but also organs in the previous center. The anonymized images will be contoured by independent expert team as the golden standard. The experimental group refers to software-assisted contouring, while the control group refers to independent investigator contouring. Judged by the golden standard, the two groups will be compared to evaluate efficacy and safety of software-assisted contouring of thoracic organs at risk.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Creo Medical MicroBlate™ Flex AB1 instrument used with the AB1 electrosurgical system in patients undergoing bronchoscopic microwave ablation of peripheral lung nodules.
Cadonilimab, a tetravalent bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, is designed to retain the efficacy benefit of combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 and improve on the safety profile of the combination therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab monotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable stage II-IIIA squamous cell lung cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among Hispanic current and former smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What barriers do current and former Hispanic smokers face in the identification and documentation of their smoking status? - How can digital delivery of an educational video promote LCS uptake among current and former Hispanic smokers? Participants will receive an educational video about lung cancer screening and complete brief, self-reported surveys afterwards.
