Filter by:The purpose of this study is is to assess the safety and tolerability of curcumin in combination with EGFR-TKIs in selected patients with advanced non-resectable mutant EGFR NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of ADC value of diffusion weighted MRI in comparison of conventional treatment assessment criteria in evaluation of chemotherapy. Moreover, the investigators aim to clarify the correlation of ADC value with histologic type and grade of lung cancer and survival of patients.
The next generation of personalized medical treatment according to the type of personal genetic information are evolving rapidly. The genome analysis needs systematic infra and database based on personal genetic information Therefore, a big data of genome-clinical information is important.
The investigators plan to recruit patients for a prospective study in patients in need of evaluation for lung lesions suspicious for cancer. Saliva samples will be collected before diagnostic evaluation including biopsy with subsequent blinded examination of the salivary markers without knowledge of the disease status. This prospective recruitment with retrospective blinded evaluation or PRoBE design satisfies the highest standards recommended by the National Cancer Institute for biomarker development. This process limits the selection bias that can confound retrospective studies. As the primary endpoint, a pre-specified multi-marker panel will be evaluated based on the combination of sensitivity and specificity. In addition, seven pre-specified individual candidate mRNA cancer markers and six internal reference or "housekeeping" genes will be evaluated. The performance of new multi-marker panels will also be assessed and compared with the prior pre-specified model based on sensitivity and specificity combinations as well as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
Investigators will administer a brief, anonymous survey at the Texas Academy of Family Physicians (TAFP) annual Primary Care Summit to better understand the readiness of primary care physicians in Texas to implement lung cancer screening programs in their practice settings.
The purpose of this study is to compare early-stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer lobectomy and sub-lobectomy surgery to evaluate if sub-lobectomy is as feasible and effective for the treatment of early-stage (diameter ≤2cm) peripheral non-small cell lung cancer as lobectomy.
The aim of high dose radiotherapy treatment is to deliver enough radiation to the tumour to kill all the cancer cells while at the same time giving a low dose of radiation to the normal parts of the body to reduce the side effects of treatment. This requires the cancer specialist to accurately identify the areas of cancer on a computed tomography (CT) scan. Positron emission tomography computed tomography (PETCT) scans use radioactive sugar that is injected into the patient. This sugar goes into cancer cells and shows up as a bright spot on the PET scan, allowing the doctors to see tumours more accurately. Some cancers move with breathing, for example lung, pancreas and oesophageal (or gullet) cancers. Fourdimensional CT scanning (4DCT) is a special type of CT scan that allows the motion of the tumour to be seen and measured accurately. This information can then be used to help ensure that the radiotherapy correctly treats the moving tumour. The aim of this study is to see if there are possible benefits to combining PET with 4DCT to get a 4D PETCT scan for tumours that move with breathing. This study is divided into three cancer types; lung, lower oesophagus and pancreatic cancer. First the investigators are going to test the use of 4D PETCT in the radiotherapy planning of these tumours to see if it helps the doctor to identify the cancer. Secondly, the investigators are going to see if the 4D PETCT helps to show areas within the cancer that are potentially more active. This might then allow us to target a higher dose to these areas, which could potentially improve the chance of controlling and curing the cancer. Patients' standard treatment will not be altered by participating in the study.
Objectives: This protocol addresses the first phase of a larger project funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to help heavy smokers make informed decisions about lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT). A separate IRB protocol will be submitted for the larger, comparative study. In this initial development phase, our prototype patient decision aid will be updated to reflect current guidelines about lung cancer screening. The updated aid will then be pilot-tested in a new sample of patients. In addition, several of the study measures will be refined and further developed in preparation for the larger study. The specific aims of the measures and decision aid development phase of this project are as follows: Update the aid to reflect current screening guidelines and refine the aid via cognitive testing with patients/smokers; and pilot test the updated aid for acceptability with patients/smokers. Modify our current measure of lung cancer knowledge, conduct cognitive testing of the new measure with patients/smokers, and evaluate the reliability of the new measure in a sample patients/smokers.
Researchers developed the nomogram which evaluate the risk of recurrence after surgical resection, and found that the stage 1 NSCLC patients with more than 104 point of nomogram showed similar recurrence rate to the recurrence rate of stage 2 NSCLC patients. Thus those stage 1 NSCLC patients at high recurrence rate are considered to show positive effect of adjuvant chemotherapy and perform the study to prove this hypothesis. Applying the nomogram, the patient scored lower than 104 is categorized into low risk group and is to be grouped as the observation group which adjuvant chemotherapy will not be given. The high risk group patients (the nomogram scored larger than 104) are randomly divided into the treatment group and the observation group. Then, the clinical result on the recurrence between the observation group and the treatment group will be compared. - Regimen of the adjuvant chemotherapy: The most commonly used 1st line chemotherapy regimen which is vinorelbine plus cisplatin will be admitted for 4 cycles. Also the three days before and the after the estimated day are permitted as allowance. Intravenous administration of vinorelbine (25mg/m2), the 1st and the 8th day of the each cycle, every 3 weeks. Intravenous administration of cisplatin (75mg/m2), the 1st day of the each cycle, every 3 weeks.
AC0010 Maleate Capsules is a new, irreversible, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation selective Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor.Aim at local advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutation or T790M drug-resistant mutation. The molecular mechanism: by irreversible combining the EGFR-RTKs ATP binding site of cell, selectively suppress the activities of EGFR tyrosine kinase phosphorylation, block the sigal signal transduction system of EGFR, and close the function of ras/raf/MAPK downstream. at last block the tumor cell growth by EGFR induction, and promotes apoptosis. AC0010 Maleate Capsules has three characters: 1. Irreversible combination with EGFR; 2.Efficient suppress the EGFR mutant tumor cell and has no suppression to EGFR wild-type cell; 3. Efficient suppress the EGFR T790M drug-resistant mutation tumor cell.
