Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new medical device in post-surgery of lung resection. The principle of this new device is based on selective chest wall restriction. This new modality of chest wall restriction is evaluated on patients in post-surgery for lung cancer. The hypothesis is that the use of this medical device would reduce the postoperative pain and increase the efficacy of cough and expectoration. The evolution of the operated patient would be better.
This is a multi-centre study on lung cancer patients which experienced COVID-19. Information on clinical features, clinical course, management and outcomes will be collected for both, thoracic cancers and COVID-19 infection. Firstly, investigators will be registered in an online secure registry. After that, a protocol will be developed in order to collect clinical data for the research. It will also include I on the care organization or the perception of the patient and their family members. The final stage will consist on retrospective data collection from patients. So, it is a retrospective study data collection, preceded by prospective data registry.
Before deciding on treatment for patients with lung cancer, a critical step in the investigation is finding out whether the lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer cells. This is accomplished with a biopsy of the lymph nodes through the airway wall, known as Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration. Guidelines require that every single lymph node in the chest be biopsied through a process called Systematic Sampling. However, emerging data suggests that the lymph nodes that appear benign on imaging and ultrasound do not need a biopsy. A proposed alternative to the inefficient Systematic Sampling is the simplified Selective Targeted Sampling of the lymph nodes, whereby only lymph nodes that look malignant are biopsied. This trial will evaluate the simplified Selective Targeted Sampling of lymph nodes and compare it to Systematic Sampling to see whether it is equally as effective in staging lung cancer.
Investigation of respiratory-related tumour motion in liver cancer patients undergoing stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment (SBRT) using audiovisual (AV) biofeedback.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of S-588210 (S-488210+S-488211) in patients with unresectable recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumors.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the sensitivity and specificity of SGM-101 in detecting non-small cell lung carcinomas during surgery when excited by an near-infrared light source utilizing intraoperative imaging.
Disclosure of bad news is challenging for patients, relatives and healthcare providers. Current protocols for breaking bad news assume a single, in-person meeting for breaking bad news, however cancer workup is not a single event but a consecutive process with several contacts between patient and physician. Furthermore, an increasing number of patients receive their cancer diagnosis by telephone. The investigators want to examine whether having the result of lung cancer workup by telephone results in worse psychosocial consequences than having the result in-person. Both groups receive information on possibility of cancer at every patient-physician contact.
This study evaluates the use of NanoPac injected directly into tumors in the lung of people with lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to incorporate feedback from cancer patients and providers to adapt, implement, and test an intervention. The intervention aims to prompt screening for financial distress, facilitate discussions about care costs with cancer patients, support health insurance selection, and ultimately reduce cancer patients' financial toxicity associated with cancer care.
The investigators will conduct a pragmatic clinical trial to test the effect of patient navigation on lung cancer screening (LCS) low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) completion among Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) patients at increased risk for lung cancer. Patient navigation is a strategy for guiding individuals through complex health systems, and the investigators hypothesize that this may be a promising approach for helping homeless-experienced people overcome their unique barriers to obtaining LCS. The investigators will aim to recruit 300 people to participate in this research study; 100 will be randomly assigned to arm 1 (usual care) and 200 will be randomly assigned to arm 2 (patient navigation). Randomization of participants will be stratified by smoking status, housing status, clinical site, and whether they have previously discussed LCS with their primary care provider (PCP) to ensure balance between study groups on these variables. People assigned to the usual care arm will be referred back to their PCP for further management. People assigned to the patient navigation arm will be given the chance to work with a LCS navigator. The navigator will assist participants and their PCPs with all aspects of the LCS process in addition to offering brief tobacco counseling for current smokers. The primary aim of the trial is to determine-among homeless-experienced people who are eligible for LCS-the effect of patient navigation on 1) LCS LDCT completion at 6 months post-enrollment and 2) LCS LDCT completion at 6 months with diagnostic follow-up of abnormal results within 1 month of the recommended time frame. Study outcomes will be assessed by examining participant health records. Following the intervention, qualitative interviews will be conducted with 40 participants and 10 BHCHP PCPs to better understand how the LCS process unfolds in the setting of homelessness, the ways in which the navigator facilitated this process, and opportunities for improving the navigation intervention for future use.
