Filter by:This study is needed to assess the feasibility of integrating this therapy with current treatment regimens. If this study shows success a formal phase II test study to conduct feasibility will be the next step. The first dose level chosen for this study is 66Gy of radiation to the tumor between LET and standard photon therapy. This dose is the current standard of care for stage III . If this dose is found to be feasible then the dose of LET will escalate to the total dose of 74Gy.
This research studies protein in tumor samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Finding specific proteins in tumor tissue samples from patients with cancer may help doctors tell what type of lung cancer a patient has and plan better treatment.
Despite recent advances in the treatment of patients with resected NSCLC, disease recurrence and mortality related to lung cancer are common among patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore novel approaches are necessary to improve the outcome for early stage NSCLC. The preclinical studies conducted with vaccine based approaches provide the rationale to evaluate this as an adjunct to surgery for patients with early stage NSCLC. Administration of the vaccine before surgery will also allow for the evaluation of the tumor specimen for immunological responses to the vaccine.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sirolimus and gold sodium thiomalate when given together in treating patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sirolimus and gold sodium thiomalate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This is a pilot phase II study of histology based consolidation chemotherapy in patients with inoperable stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) following concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC would be treated with standard concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and subsequently those with non-squamous histology would be offered 4 cycles of consolidation pemetrexed and those with squamous histology 4 cycles of consolidation with gemcitabine.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of cryotherapy (cryoablation [CA]) in treating patients with lung cancer. Cryotherapy kills cancer cells by freezing them.
This clinical trial studies fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting chemoradiation therapy (CRT) failure in patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG PET/CT, may help predict CRT failure. Comparing diagnostic results during CRT may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment
This trial will test the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy after stereotactic body radiation therapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
For patients diagnosed with early (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer, a lobe of lung is usually removed at surgery to treat the cancer. For some patients, the removal of a lobe of lung may leave too little lung behind for easy breathing. For some of these patients, it may be possible to perform a smaller-scale surgery ("sub-lobar resection") and place a radioactive implant behind to prevent the cancer from growing back. This study will see how these patients do in terms of controlling their disease treated with a radioactive implant called Cesium-131.
The purpose of this study is to assess the value of EarlyCDT-Lung test and CT scan both in lung cancer detection and potential health economic outcomes.
