Filter by:The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the feasibility of high-resolution manometry to identify radiation-induced changes in esophageal motility and contractility or "function" in patients undergoing radiation therapy for the treatment of locally advanced lung cancer.
In pre-clinical study, we found that serum thioredoxin reductase activity harbours huge difference after any kind of treatments, so we hypothesis that serum activity of thioredoxin reductase may be a warning markers in excised non-small lung cancers, serum activity of this enzyme may elevated before CT scan
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of carfilzomib given in combination with carboplatin and etoposide as initial therapy for subjects with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ES SCLC).
In pre-clinical study the investigators found that the thioredoxin reductase activity of serum harbours huge difference between cancer patients and non-cancer patients, the enzyme activity elevated remarkably among cancer patients, so the investigators hypothesis that this is due to tumor cells loading of the patients, the enzyme activity may harbours huge difference between carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues in early staged non-small cell lung cancers, and after surgery, the enzyme activity may fall down to a normal level because of removing of tumor.
This pilot clinical trial studies single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) in measuring lung function in patients with cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Diagnostic procedures that measure lung function may help doctors find healthy lung tissue and allow them to plan better treatment.
To compare the efficacy and safety of prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism by Nadroparin during hospitalization to long-term usage in patients with advanced lung cancer treated by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
A phase II Study of an adapted chemotherapy regimen plus bevacizumab in elderly non-small cell lung cancer patients selected by geriatric assessment
In pre-clinical study we found that the thioredoxin reductase activity of serum harbours huge difference between cancer patients and non-cancer patients, the enzyme activity elevated remarkably among cancer patients, and after any kind of treatment serum thioredoxin reductase activity declined remarkably, so we hypothesis that serum thioredoxin reductase activity could be a warning marker for early progression of first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
As the gene polymorphism of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1(UGT1A1)is related to the side effect of diarrhea induced by irinotecan. UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7) and *6 (G/G and G/A) is related to low probability of diarrhea and UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is related to high probability of diarrhea. The purpose of this study is to find out the efficacy and side effect between two different dosages of irinotecan combined with cisplatin scheme in extensive disease-small cell lung cancer with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)and *6 (G/G and G/A), based on the hypothesis that the UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is few in the Chinese population and increasing the dose of irinotecan can improve the efficacy without increasing the side effect in the patients with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)*6 (G/G and G/A).
The investigators' experimental study found that gossypol was the natural inhibitor of apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and clinical study observed that high expression of APE1 was relative to the platinum-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. Thus the purpose of this study is to find out whether gossypol can improve the sensitivity of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the non-small cell lung cancer with apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) high expression
