Filter by:Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Singapore population, being the 2nd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst males and 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst females. Pulmonologists, oncologists and thoracic surgeons are often consulted for the evaluation of imaging-identified pulmonary nodules. These may have been identified either incidentally or through screening. The majority of these are indeterminate and definitive investigation with biopsy or resection is invasive and not without risk. Hence, current consensus guidelines adopt a largely expectant strategy in the management of these indeterminate pulmonary nodules. There is substantial evidence that lung cancer in Asians may be unique with multiple driver mutations, lower age of presentation and may be independent of tobacco exposure. In addition, there are guidelines that recommend that the management of lung nodules in Asia should account for these differences. However, the evidence for alternative recommendations is lacking. The aim of the study will be to identify radiological and clinical predictors that can improve the diagnosis of lung nodules. These predictors may help build a model for lung nodule evaluation and surveillance. Prospective database of subjects meeting all of the following inclusion criteria to participate in this study. 1. Evidence of lung nodule on chest radiograph or Computed Tomography regardless of underlying aetiology 2. Age ³ 21 years old 3. Ability to provide informed consent This study will collect existing or prospective data that is part of standard clinical care from the electronic medical record of patients (ambulatory and inpatient from May 2018-2023.
Purpose : Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is among the most common cancers in the werstern world. Patients with stage I have the most satisfactory outcomes. The gold standard for treatment is still surgery, but this approach has recently been challenged by hypofractionnated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Therefore, for patients who are not eligible for surgery due to their significant co-morbidity, or for those who refuse surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy is an efficient practical alternative. SBRT is well tolerated and efficient, in fact local control rate at 3 years reaches more than 90%. Most of guidelines recommand a dose between 48 and 60 Gy delivered in 3 at 8 fractions and 3 weeks. Biological effect depends on the dose distribution in time and decreases when the number of fractions or length of radiation treatment increase. Decreasing the length of treatment and the interval between fractions may improve efficiency of treatment and local control rate. Moreover, it may improve quality of life of patients. Nevertheless, an evaluation of safety of such shorter treatment course, with a phase I-II clinical study is needed.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a technology-based intervention, Caregiver Oncology Needs Evaluation Tool (CONNECT), which may increase lung cancer caregivers' knowledge about the benefits of supportive care resources, identify their unmet needs, and connect them with supportive care resources. The investigators will also determine their ability to recruit and keep patients and caregivers in the study.
Aim: To develop and testing a home exercise program for lung cancer survivors to improve their exercise tolerance and quality of life during the rehabilitation phase. Design: An experimental design will be used in the study. The 90 lung cancer survivors, who were diagnosed with lung cancer within one year and have completed their initial cancer treatment, will be recruited and randomized to the control or intervention group. After pre-test, the intervention participants will receive a 60 minutes of teaching regarding the home rehabilitation exercise program, with a printed exercise manual. The intervention participant will also receive a weekly phone call from the interventionist to enhance their exercise adherence and helping to overcome exercise barriers. The similar outcome measures as study one will be assessed on the baseline, 1th month, 3th month, and 6th month. Measurements: The study outcomes will be evaluated by three physical measures, six-minute walk test, Modified Borg Scale, 30-second Chair Sit-to-Stand Test, and 30-second Chair Sit-to-Stand Test, as well as a study questionnaire including Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) and FACIT-Fatigue. For study one the following data will be collected from the patient'schart: post-operative pulmonary complications, days of chest tube insertion, and days of hospitalization. Data analysis: Descriptive analysis will be used to describe patients'demongraphics, disease variables, and outcome variables. The Chi-square, T-test, and General Linear Mix-effect Model will be used to test the efficacy of the study interventions.
In this phase II trial with single arm, we aim to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity profile of local radiotherapy on all disease sites for EGFR-mutant oligo-metastatic NSCLC (no more than 3 metastatic lesions) who did not experience disease progression after at least 3 months of TKI therapy.
Building upon the clinical experience of the investigators with the magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy system and applying principals of hypofractionation toward the current treatment paradigm of concurrent chemoradiation and consolidation immunotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), this prospective, single-arm Phase II clinical trial with safety lead-in will test the feasibility and outcomes of this approach.
This study observes the efficacy and side effects of CT-guided radioactive iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer retrospectively, and analyzes the influence of clinical and dosimetric factors on the outcomes.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, Phase 2 study to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of encorafenib given in combination with binimetinib in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients who are either treatment-naïve, OR who have received 1) first-line treatment with standard platinum-based chemotherapy, OR 2) first-line treatment with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor given alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy will be enrolled.
This is a phase II, open-label, single arm, single-stage study. Both, chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant patients will be enrolled and treated with 4 cycles of combination of Guadecitabine and carboplatin
This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind placebo-controlled phase 3 study of efficacy and safety of BCD-100 in combination with pemetrexed+cisplatin/carboplatin compared to placebo in combination with pemetrexed+cisplatin/carboplatin in subjects with previously untreated metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. The main hypothesis of the study is that BCD-100 in combination with chemotherapy prolongs OS compared to placebo with chemotherapy.
