Filter by:This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for EGFR-Mutated Advanced Lung Cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are Niraparib and Osimertinib.
The purpose of this study is to learn about discussion between clinicians and their patients related to lung screening. Survey answers will be collected from both clinicians and their patients.
Can BNP be used alongside current risk prediction methods to more accurately identify those at risk of breathlessness and poor quality of life following lung resection?
This protocol pertains specifically to the prospective lung squamous cell carcinoma pre-malignant lesion (PML) cohort that will form a primary study group for the Lung Pre-Cancer Atlas.
The aim of our study was to compare the daily living activities with a performance-based protocol in lung cancer patients and healthy controls.
Video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has recently been evaluated as the standard surgical procedure for lung surgery. Although VATS is less painful than thoracotomy, patients may feel severe pain during the first hours at postoperative period. Analgesia management is very important for these patients in postoperative period since insufficient analgesia can cause pulmonary complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia and increased oxygen consumption. The ultrasound (US) guided erector spina plane (ESP) block is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. at 2016. ESP block provides thoracic analgesia at T5 level and abdominal analgesia at T7-9 level. Visualization of sonoanatomy with US is easy, and the spread of local anesthesic agents can be easily seen under the erector spinae muscle. Thus, analgesia occurs in several dermatomes with cephalad-caudad way. In the literature, there is not still any randomized study evaluating ESP block efficiency for postoperative analgesia management after VATS. The aim of this study is to evaluate US-guided ESP block for postoperative analgesia management after VATS.
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of an intramyocardial strain analysis package with cardiac MRI to assist in the early detection and management of cardiotoxicity from therapeutics used to treat cancer.
The study will develop and test the feasibility of the Lung Cancer Assessment of Risk and Education (LungCARE) intervention to increase discussions about lung cancer screening between patients and physicians. This intervention will be designed to reach primary care patients and will be implemented at three levels of the healthcare structure: patient, physician, and system. The patient component includes a short lung cancer screening video and questions regarding screening preferences. Patients will receive immediate feedback in a report (patient report) that summarizes their lung cancer screening preferences and a handout summarizing the educational video. At the physician level, primary care physicians (PCPs) will receive a similar report (physician report), which will be delivered to them prior to the patient visit. The report contains additional information about documenting discussion related to risk, screening, and referrals in the electronic health record (EHR) system (system component). The investigators will develop the LungCARE intervention and have a comparison group that will receive usual care. Preliminary testing of LungCARE will occur via a randomized controlled trial (RCT) at the University of California, San Francisco, General Internal Medicine and Women's Health Primary Care clinics. The RCT will evaluate LungCARE among 50 PCPs and 120 high-risk current and former smoker patients. The investigators will determine whether the intervention is accepted by patients and physicians and whether patients who received LungCARE are more likely to discuss lung cancer screening with their physicians when compared to patients and physicians in the comparison group. The investigators will also determine whether the intervention affects knowledge of lung cancer and low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening, perception of risk, and worry about lung cancer in patients when compared to patients in the comparison group. The investigators expect their research to provide specific recommendations that will facilitate patient-physician discussions about LDCT screening and promote shared decision-making among patients and physicians.
The investigators will undertake a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial to implement and evaluate a proactive model of care (SMARTCare) during active cancer treatment that incorporates self-management support (SMS). Patients allocated to the control arm will receive care from ambulatory clinic nurses trained in SMS. Patients allocated to the intervention arm will will receive care from ambulatory clinic nurses trained in SMS, in addition to being given access to a web-based, self-management education program and nurse-led health coaching during the first four months following the first systemic therapy administration.
The ESME LC Data Platform is a multicenter real life database using a retrospective data collection process in France over 38 sites. This database compiles data from Patient's Electronic medical records (EMR), inpatient Hospitalisation records and Pharmacy records.
