Filter by:This is a multi-center retrospective study, designing to access the best treatment strategy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutant type after first/second line EGFR-TKI failure. The study end point is Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2), which is defined as the time period from Progression Disease 1(PD1) to Progression Disease 2(PD2). PD1 is defined as the first tumor progression time from taking EGFR-TKI evaluated by Recist 1.1 criterion, and PD2 as the second tumor progression time after EGFR-TKI failure no matter what second/third line treatment was, PD2 is also evaluated by Recist 1.1 criterion.
During video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS), the surgeon inserts a small camera attached to a thoracoscope that puts the image onto a video screen. Instruments are inserted via small incisions, and the lung resection is completed. Robotic thoracic surgery (RTS) uses a similar minimally invasive approach, but the very precise instruments involved with RTS allow the surgeon to view the lung using 3-dimensional imaging. The instruments give the surgeons increased range of motion during the surgery, and research demonstrates that RTS has a less steep learning curve as compared to VATS. Both VATS and RTS demonstrated better results as compared to traditional thoracotomy (open surgery). However, Robotic lobectomy has not yet been compared directly to video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS) in a prospective manner. There are two major barriers against the widespread adoption of robotic thoracic surgery. The first barrier is the lack of high-quality prospective data. To our knowledge, there are no prospective trials comparing VATS to RTS for early stage lung cancer. The second major barrier to the widespread adoption of robotic technology in thoracic surgery is the perceived higher cost of Robotic lobectomy. To address these barriers, the investigators will undertake the first randomized controlled trial comparing Thoracoscopic Lobectomy to Robotic Lobectomy for early stage lung cancer. Prospective randomization will eliminate the biases of retrospective data and will serve to determine whether there exist any advantages to Health Related Quality of life (HRQOL) or patient outcomes in favour of Robotic Lobectomy over VATS Lobectomy. Furthermore, through a prospective cost-utility analysis, this trial will provide the highest quality data to evaluate the true economic impact of robotic technology in thoracic surgery in a Canadian health system.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous T cells bearing chimeric antigen receptor that can specifically recognize (Mucin 1) MUC1 is safe and effective for patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
This study aims to prospectively investigate the efficacy, toxicity and quality of life (QOF) of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) using a moderate fractionation of 72 Gy/6 Gy/12 F (BED10 = 115 Gy) in a single arm of elderly ( ≥ 70) patients with stage I (2009 UICC) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is a retrospective observational, open label study to evaluate and prospectively validate in a blind manner the accuracy of predicting treatment outcomes by PrediCare in individual patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer & Colon Cancer under the treatment with the mono- and combination drug protocols for the 1st and 2nd line treatment, approved to the market as a Standard of Care
Lungs are made up of individual lobes. When a lung cancer tumour is detected in one of these lobes, surgeons typically perform a Lobectomy. A Lobectomy is the surgery most commonly done to treat early-stage lung cancer and requires removal of an entire lobe of the lung, which removes a large amount of lung tissue For patients with small tumours saving as much healthy lung tissue as possible is important. Each lobe of the lung has smaller sections called segments. When a lung cancer is in one of these segments, it is possible to remove that segment, without removing the entire lobe. This surgery is called a segmentectomy. Compared to a lobectomy, a segmentectomy saves a larger amount of healthy lung tissue. With the advances in screening technology for lung cancer tumours, an increasing amount of very small lung cancer tumours are being found, and the demand for segmentectomy is increasing. A segmentectomy is a hard surgery to perform robotically because it is difficult to view the tissue lines that separate each segment within the lobe. As a result, it is difficult for the surgeon to see exactly which pieces of tissue should be removed. Because of these challenges, many patients having robotic surgery will have a lobectomy, even if a full lobectomy is not needed. Near-Infrared Fluorescence (NIF) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye is a recent advancement in the robotic platform of robotic surgery. The surgeon will view the CT scan to determine which segment the tumour is located in. Once identified, the surgeon will isolate the segment by cutting off the blood supply to that segment. Then ICG will be injected into a vein. It is expected that the entire lung, except the isolated segment, which will remain 'dark' as it was isolated from blood supply, will fluoresce, giving off a green hue when viewed with the da Vinci Firefly camera. The surgeon will identify 'dark' segment, and will remove it. A pathologist will examine the excised tissue to ensure that the tumour was removed in its entirety. Once confirmed, the surgeon will end the procedure. If the pathologist determines that the segment removed did not contain the entire tumour, then the surgeon will perform a routine lobectomy. This ensures patient safety and confirms that all participants will have the entire tumour removed from their lung.
This is a pilot study looking at using stereotactic radiosurgery and full dose chemotherapy to treat stage II and III lung cancer that is not amendable to surgical resection.
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that present a mixed T-NK phenotype. Our hypothesis is that Natural killer T cells may decrease the tumor burden and improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Natural killer T (NKT) cells are effective and safe in the treatment of patients with unresectable advanced solid tumor.
RET fusions are present in 1% to 2% of unselected population of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Existing US Food and Drug Administration-approved inhibitors of RET tyrosine kinase show promising therapeutic effects in a non-small cell lung cancer patients. Apatinib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitors including RET fusions. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Apatinib in patients with RET fusion positive advanced NSCLC.
Various driver gene mutations have been identified in lung cancer. Among them, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) was identified in about approximately 2% of non-small cell lung cancers.Pyrotinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting both HER-1 and HER-2 receptors. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pyrotinib in patients with HER2 positive advanced Non-small cell lung cancer.
