Filter by:This is a pilot study for placement of a tiny microdevice into lung tumors to more precisely predict tumor-specific drug sensitivity, and to help inform systemic therapeutic decisions. The microdevice will provide a novel technique for interrogating human lung tumor tissue in situ, and will uniquely facilitate assessment of response to multiple drugs simultaneously. This will not only increase the specificity of a particular participant's chosen systemic therapy, it will also augment the speed and efficiency with which investigators are able to make clinical decisions regarding choice of therapy.
Lung neuroendocrine tumor (LNT) represents approximately 20% of all lung cancers. The classification of LNT relies upon morphology. Recently, in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, Ki-67 rate has been proposed for classi fication. It is, however, known that Ki-67 count has a poor interlaboratory reproducibly. For that reason, our team has looked for a new biomarker. GLUT1 protein a facilitative glucose transporter protein which has ubiquitous expression in mammalian. GLUT1 is overexpressed in many human cancers. But, no study has evaluated the GLUT1 staining as an aid diagnosis in LNT. The team have assessed the GLUT1 immunohistochemical staining in 36 LNT and to assess its diagnostic value.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a physiotherapy prehabilitation programme (walking and deep breathing exercises) in cardiac or thoracic patients by measuring changes in lung volumes, functional capacity physiotherapy length of stay postoperatively.
The aims of this work were to assess the feasibility, efficacy, short-term outcome and safety of microwave ablation in the treatment of malignant bone, lung and renal tumors.
A pilot, single arm, single center study to determine the feasibility of obtaining stool samples from adult patients receiving SBRT to a lung tumor, if SBRT induces changes in the gut microbiota and to obtain preliminary data about possible correlation of baseline composition and changes in gut microbiota with tumor response, local control, and development of pneumonitis/other side effects.
The purpose of this post approval study is to further characterize the safety profile of the ProGEL™ Pleural Air Leak Sealant in commercial use, with specific reference to long-term safety over 90 days of follow-up.
A retrospective study to demonstrate the optimal depth of right side bronchial blocker for complete right lung separation. Data were collected from all patients who completed right side VATS with right side BB from Jan 2010 through Nov 2010.
