Filter by:This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of perioperative dual bronchodilator therapy on post-operative pulmonary function and health-related quality of life (QoL) in mild-to-moderate less symptomatic COPD patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Investigators hypothesized that dual bronchodilator, as compared with placebo, would prevent reduction of pulmonary function after surgical resection and improve postoperative health related QoL.
prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI)was verified to decrease the brain metastases rates and improve the overall survival(OS)for patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.We hypothesis that patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after chemotherapy and thoracic radiation can also benefit from PCI.
Accessing nodules located in the most outer part of the lung is challenging. Tissue that will be removed from the lung will be used to see if we can reach and see the nodule with a very small camera. This camera that may reach in the smaller and outer airways is called a composite optical fiberscope (COF). The purpose of this study is to evaluate insertion ability of the COF and visualization of the lung tumor by the COF. In order to do so, we plan to evaluate 50 patient samples from the University Health Network over the span of 2 years.
This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy may shrink the tumor in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
The hypothesis for this study is that addition of a moderate dose of radiotherapy to the primary tumor and mediastinal nodes after three months of medical treatment could reduce the tumor burden, partly as an abscopal effect, and thereby improving quality of life and possible also prolonging survival for stage IV NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy in the treatment of adult participants with medically inoperable Stage I or IIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early diagnosis is linked to a better prognosis. Further, surgical resection at the early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) results in markedly improved survival rates. Computed tomography (CT)- or bronchoscopy-guided needle biopsies are standard definitive diagnostic procedures for lung cancer and are used to obtain tissue for pathological examination. However, these procedures are invasive, difficult to repeat, expensive, and risk exposure to radiation. Conversely, liquid biopsies, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and extracellular vesicles (EVs), are simple and less invasive procedures that can be repeated more frequently than tissue biopsies. To analyze the exosomes abundantly present in the blood and to conduct clinical studies to determine whether it is possible to diagnose lung cancer. To this end, blood samples from normal people (n = 150) and lung cancer patients (n = 320) are obtained from the Human biobank of five hospitals participating in the study.
As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. The result of our early animal experiments show that the pulmonary surgery marker system can deliver the intraoperative localization safely and precisely under anesthesia, and the average distance between the localization and the simulated lesion is less than 5mm during surgery. Therefore, the safety and feasibility of the system require further evaluation in patients
