Filter by:Using Intensity Modulated radiotherapy it is possible to treat the entire brain to standard dosages of whole-brain radiation, while keeping the radiation dose to the hippocampus low. However, a clear relationship between radiation dose and damage to the hippocampal stem cells has not been established yet. This study is initiated to investigate the early and delayed neurotoxicity of PCI and to assess in a randomised design the benefits and risks of sparing the hippocampus in Small Cell Lung Cancer patients who receive PCI.
The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy of chemotherapy combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine for elderly patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, also to evaluate the adverse reaction and the reliability.
Annually, 4,200 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed in Denmark. The stage of the disease is an important prognostic factor as an advanced stage reduces the opportunity for surgical intervention and other curative treatment. In denmark, as in many other countries, a fast track evaluation for lung cancer has been introduced in 2008. When the general practitioners refer patients through the fast track, the majority of patients make their first visit to the Department of Pulmonary Medicine. After this visit, further investigation is initiated, which is often a CT scan of the chest and the upper abdomen. We dont know Whether this is the most appropriate organisation. The aim of this project is to evaluate the way lung cancer patients are examined through the fast track and the impact of chest CT before an evaluation by a chest physician. Investigators want to randomise all patients referred for the existing fast track to either direct CT scan of chest and upper abdomen or to evaluation by the chest physician, in order to test: A) Fast track performance measured by number of CT scans and chest physician specialist time per diagnosis, and whether there is a difference between the intervention and the control group.
The chest cavity contains a small amount of fluid (pleural effusion). In normal circumstances this fluid is kept in balance. When surgery is performed on the lung, there can be accumulation of more fluid due to many causes. In order to drain this additional amount of pleural fluid, chest tube(s) are left in the thoracic cage after a lung resection procedure. The investigators are attempting to reduce the amount of pleural fluid production and formation by using a more balanced thoracic drainage system, which adjusts the amount of suction depending on the needs of the patient. That way, the amount of inflammation in the thoracic cage might be smaller, and hence less fluid will be formed. By this, the investigators are hoping that the chest tubes can be removed earlier, and the patients can be discharged faster and will potentially have a lower rate of re-admission to the hospital after surgery due to problems related to the fluid in the thoracic cage.
This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of treatment with dacomitinib (PF-00299804) to treatment with gefitinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, with epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR-activating mutation (s). Analyses of primary objective (Progression Free Survival) will be done as defined in the protocol.
This Phase 2 study is designed to characterize the objective response rate (defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)) of Etirinotecan pegol administered to subjects with metastatic and recurrent NSCLC after failure of 2nd line therapy. Up to 37 eligible subjects will receive the investigational drug q3 weeks until they are no longer benefiting.
The primary purpose of the study is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of LDK378 and AUY922. This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of the combination of LDK378 and AUY922 in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer.
The aim of this observational study is to identify and quantify the humanistic and economic burden of illness of patients with complete resection (no residual disease) of stage IB-IIIA NSCLC in three European countries (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom [UK]). Data collection will be conducted through patient medical record abstraction and patient survey.
The purpose of this study is to determine the potential benefits resulting from a specific training on exercise tolerance and muscle function at the medium and long-time, as well as study its effects on plasmatic mediators (sMICA, IGF-I and IGFBP-3) in patients with lung cancer following resection surgery.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety Genexol-PM(CrEL-free polymeric micelle formulated paclitaxel)and gemcitabine in untreated metastatic NSCLC patients
