Filter by:Patients with suspicious lung lesions were undertaken for PET/CT directed under CT fluoroscopy lung biopsy or robotic-assisted biopsy. The biopsy planning including patient positioning was done after F18-FDG PET/CT whole body or regional imaging of the patient. Written consent was obtained and the patient will be prepared for the biopsy. Lung biopsies were done using a semi-automatic biopsy gun under the imaging guidance (PET fused CT fluoroscopy) following aseptic precautions. Follow-up CT scans were taken post-biopsy. The time consumed for the procedure, radiation exposure to the interventionist, complications and diagnostic yield in both the arms were compared.
Lung carcinoma is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Egypt, lung carcinoma ranks the 5th among all cancer cases. Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells which form the lining of the pleural. There is a strong resemblance between epithelioid mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma, some of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma or SCC present with pleurotropic growth like mesothelioma. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is one the six glypican family members. It is one of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that acts as a growth factor signaling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Glypican-1 in pleural epitheloid mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma and lung SCC
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have become standard practice for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR gene mutation. EGFR-TKIs involving Afatinib, Erlotinib, and Gefitinib were Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved since 2006 and given payment continuously for lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation in Taiwan. Several researches mention the positive correlation between skin toxicities and clinical response, such as improved median survival, overall survival and progression-free survival. Nevertheless, quite a few patients reduced dose or discontinued EGFR-TKIs because of prolonged or intolerable adverse effects, thus causing disease progress and even death. Based on the experts' opinion, some basic strategies have been developed to manage dermatologic adverse effects. Those strategies have the potential to improve patient quality of life and to prevent dose reductions or discontinuation. The concept of prophylaxis in EGFR-TKI related adverse effects had existed for rash and diarrhea, but it is not well spread. Although several studies indicate that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) facilitates the treatment of lung cancer, clinical analysis of prophylactic TCM in EGFR-TKIs related skin toxicities remains absent. Based on TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment and clinical experiences, the investigators have found effective TCM compositions to relieve these toxicities. Therefore, the investigators develop a pilot, prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled TCM research to prevent EGFR- TKIs related dermatological adverse effects. The purpose of this study suggest that TCM could provide synergic effect with EGFR-TKIs, which means TCM could reduce and prevent EGFR-TKIs related dermatological adverse effects without interfering formulary cancer therapy. The investigators hypothesize that prophylactic TCM with standard of care will delay any grade skin toxicity to 14 days as well as reduce the incidence of grade 3 skin toxicity from 30% to less than 10%. Due to high EGFR mutation rate of lung adenocarcinoma in Taiwan, it is necessary to investigate whether combination of TCM is beneficial to patients of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR gene mutation.
This phase II trial tests whether TRC102 (methoxyamine hydrochloride) in combination usual care treatment comprised of pemetrexed, cisplatin or carboplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TRC102 is in a class of drugs called antineoplastic agents. It blocks the ability of a cell to repair damage to its DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also help some anticancer drugs work better. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make DNA and may kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving TRC102 in combination with usual care treatment may be more effective than usual care treatment alone in stabilizing and lengthening survival time in patients with stage III non-squamous NSCLC.

The objective of this study is to develop a Decision Aid for Lung Cancer Molecular Testing (DA_LCMT) and to facilitate shared-decision making in patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma by intraoperative frozen pathology about whether to conduct the molecular testing.
Combining genomics and imageomics to predict the sensitivity of neoadjuvant pemetrexed and cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with lung adenocarcinoma
Lung cancer is a major public health problem and remains the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Moreover, in France, it is the 3rd most common cancer in terms of incidence. Its prognosis remains poor despite the emergence of new therapies, notably the Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors which can be used in patients with adenocarcinoma presenting an activating mutation of EGFR. In addition, a number of questions remain regarding the use of these molecules, including the possibility of combining them with other therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition, the duration of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is a matter of debate, mainly in localised forms (ADAURA trial). For this reason, we have proposed tests using TKIs on an in vitro platform based on organoid formation from tumour biopsies of NSCLC patients. This model will allow to test different molecules, in particular osimertinib which is a third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In this way, it will be possible to evaluate in vitro responder patients within a timeframe compatible with the timeframe proposed by the INCA (4-6 weeks). For non-responders, it will also be possible to screen them in vitro and seek the ideal alternative therapy. This model therefore aims to develop personalised medicine in thoracic oncology and could be used as a decision aid during multidisciplinary consultation meetings.
Icotinib is a first-generation inhibitor of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we will evaluate neoadjuvant Icotinib with chemotherapy prior to surgery, in patients with resectable stage II-IIIB N2 EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. The primary endpoint is centrally assessed major pathological response at the time of resection. Secondary endpoints include pathological complete response, objective response rate, R0 resection rate at the time of resection, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of ctDNA-MRD based adjuvant furmonertinib therapy in EGFR mutation-positive stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients after complete surgical resection.
