Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well MLN4924 (pevonedistat), carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pevonedistat together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer when compared with other standard chemotherapy drugs.
A multicentre single arm phase II trial assessing the efficacy of immunotherapy, chemotherapy plus stereotactic radiotherapy to metastases followed by definitive surgery or radiotherapy to the locoregional primary tumour, in patients with histologically-confirmed synchronous oligo-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Local percutaneous thermal ablation is frequently proposed in the management of metastatic diseases. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has demonstrated good results when the metastatic disease is limited and slowly evolving. The destruction of solid metastasis by RF leads to inflammatory and immunological mechanisms that remain poorly understood. These pathological events may influence the overall and anti-tumor host immune responses. The purpose of the study is to identify and quantify some immune mechanisms triggered by RFA of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer origin.
The treatment landscape of metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving. There are new diagnostic and treatment options available in the coming months and years. New combination treatments will give different solutions to pneumo-oncologists who might be guided by certain patient and tumor characteristics. The link between patient and tumor characteristics in untreated stage IV non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and systemic treatment needs further investigation, allowing the identification of possible treatment issues, data gaps and/or areas of improvement.
The successful implementation of lung cancer screening across diverse setting requires working with the community and primary care practices. Collaborating across diverse community-based sites will employ local knowledge and culture in the understanding of the health problem and identifying and implementing solutions that are appropriate for all partners (patients, primary care, referral centers). Enhanced, culturally-competent communication with patients at high risk for lung cancer can narrow inequities in screening awareness, referral, and utilization, as well as improve lung cancer outcomes across diverse patients and communities. Promoting partnerships among physicians, staff, and patients; creating routines; and tailoring materials to each clinician's situation have been show to increase the proportion of patients receiving screening.
PD-1 antibody has been approved as second line therapy for driven mutation negative non-small cell lung cancer, but overall response rate is only between 15-20%. Basic study found NK cell can enhance anti-tumor ability of PD-L1 antibody. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of NK cell combined with PD-1 antibody for advanced driven mutation negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as second-line therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate survival and response rate of the combination rucaparib and nivolumab as maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive small cell lung carcinoma.
The investigators will evaluate the utility of computer aided image analysis in lung cancer with the aim of predicting treatment response and prognosis.
With the advent of CT screening for lung cancer, an increasing number of NSCLCs are being detected at very early stages, and the demand for pulmonary segmentectomy is rising rapidly. As such, there is a need to develop new surgical techniques to facilitate minimally invasive pulmonary segmentectomy, as segmentectomy may provide a number of significant advantages over lobectomy for patients presenting with early-stage lung cancer, or for patients unable to undergo a full lobectomy due to existing comorbidities. This study will provide the first case series using preoperative 3D anatomical planning (Synapse 3D) added to ICG and NIF-guided robotic segmentectomy to date and will be the first reported use of Synapse 3D-guided targeted pulmonary segmental resection in Canada. As lung cancer is the most frequently fatal cancer in North America, many thousands of patients will be able to benefit from this operation every year.
Retrospective analysis where patients with histologically confirmed Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were centrally evaluated for the presence of KRAS and EGFR mutations.
