Filter by:Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer and the leading causes of cancer death in worldwide. Approximately 80% of NSCLC were inoperable. The prognosis of patients with LA-NSCLC remains disappointing. Investigators hypothesized that use of simultaneous integrated boost intensity modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) technology can safety increasing the radiation dose and benefit for inoperable NSCLC patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-pNK cell immunotherapy in patients with MUC1 positive relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
Patients with resectable solid primary cancers and even limited number of metastases are potentially curable. However, most patients develop recurrences despite surgery. Circulating and disseminated tumor cell (CTC/DTC) and circulating cell-free (cf) DNA isolation from the blood, urine and bone marrow will increase understanding of cancer spread and advance knowledge to develop individualized therapies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concordance between Positron E mission tomography parametric imaging versus standard PET for the 1 year prognosis of patients with NSCLC treated by radiochemotherapy. The ancillary study will evaluate the interest of parametric PET imaging during the treatment (around 42 Gray) to detect the local relapse of the lesion in order to propose a treatment re-planification or intensification (not realized on the present study).
Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring sensitive epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations invariably develop acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Identification of actionable genetic mutations can be helpful for guiding the subsequent treatment. This study aimed to analyze the genetic profile of NSCLC harboring acquired resistance to the first-generation EGFR TKIs using next generation sequencing (NGS).
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is one of the disastrous events when managing advanced Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to a grave prognosis. Although intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy and brain and/or spinal axis irradiation show some effects for LM in advanced NSCLC, the prognosis is still poor with median survival less than 12-14 weeks. Epidermal growth factor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) showed to be effective for LM in selected NSCLC patients in some retrospective research. Our single-center prospective research indicated that the incidence of EGFR sensitive mutations (EGFRm+) in NSCLC-LM patients was high and EGFR-TKIs showed a survival benefit for LM in EGFRm+ NSCLC patients. A multi-center prospective observational biomarker study will be started in 11 lung cancer center based on our single-center prospective research result. The aims of the study are to find predictive biomarkers for LM in advanced NSCLC, to establish EGFR-TKIs based comprehensive treatment for appropriate EGFRm+ LM cases, and to establish effective clinical assessment criteria for NSCLC-LM EGFR-TKIs treatment.
Anorexia is common symptom in cancer patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However timely detection with objective tools is necessary to establish the diagnosis of anorexia and to assess the magnitude of change over time. The anorexia pathophysiology is not clearly understood and treatment options are limited. Anecdotal historical benefits of smoking marijuana on nausea, pain and anorexia led to studies with marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids from Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active agent in marijuana. The endogenous cannabinoid system with its receptors CB1 and CB2 regulate appetite in four functional levels: (1) limbic system (hedonistic quality), (2) hypothalamus (appetite stimulant), (3) intestinal, and (4) tissue adipose. Nabilone, a synthetic analogue of THC approved in Mexico for nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy is also used in palliative care units for clinical improvement in increased appetite patients in terminal stages, however, there are no clinical trials demonstrating this benefit.
To study activity in the reward-circuitry of the brain in patients suffering from cachexia induced by cancer or chronic disease.
The purpose of this Phase II, Open-label, single arm, exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Apatinib（500mg/d）with docetaxel (60 mg/m²) in advanced Non-squamous Non-small cell lung cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of liquid biopsy in different specimens and in different methods compared with tissue detection .
