Filter by:This study is about home air radon testing and has two phases. The goal of the first phase is to learn about renters' and homeowners' views and plans related to radon testing. The main question this phase aims to answer is: 1. Does taking part in a focus group with information about radon testing change people's plans to test for radon? Participants in the first study phase will: - Take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. - Take part in a focus group discussion about radon testing, during which they will receive information about radon testing. - Right after the focus group, take a survey about their plans for radon testing. The second phase is a pilot interventional study. The goal is to test interventions about radon testing with renters and homeowners who smoke and do not smoke. The main questions this phase aims to answer are: 1. Does the recruitment strategy result in enough participants enrolling within 3 months? 2. Will at least 80% of participants complete data collection activities? 3. Will more participants who view an online intervention developed by the researchers request free radon test kits, set them up in their homes, and complete radon testing, compared to participants who view a standard public health infographic? And will even more participants who receive reminder messages, in addition to the online intervention, request free radon test kits, set them up in their homes, and complete radon testing? Participants in this second phase will: - Take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. - View an intervention about radon testing. - Right after viewing the intervention, take a survey about their views on and plans for radon testing. - 2 months later, take a survey about what, if any, steps they've taken to test their homes for radon. - Provide the researchers permission to collect data from their State Radon Program on: a) whether they requested a free radon test kit and b) whether testing was completed. Some participants will receive reminder messages for 2 months after viewing the intervention. Researchers will compare an online intervention they developed about radon testing to: a) a standard public health infographic and b) their online intervention combined with reminder messages about radon testing. They will compare the interventions by proportion of participants who: a) request a free radon test kit from their State Radon Programs, b) set-up the radon test kit in their homes, and c) complete radon testing.
Investigators are conducting a pragmatic randomized trial testing the effectiveness of patient and clinician nudge strategies on adherence to lung cancer screening (LCS) & diagnostic follow-up across eligible primary care clinicians & patients. Following the trial, a subsample of patients & clinicians will be invited to one-time semi-structured interview & survey to identify individual & system-level factors that may restrict or enhance the impact of strategies.
LungTalk and leveraging Facebook-targeted Advertisement (FBTA) addresses the call to develop and test multi-level, cancer communication interventions using innovative methods and designs. The study's long term goal is to increase lung cancer screening uptake among appropriate, high-risk individuals nationwide.
The primary objective is To evaluate the usefulness and safety of advanced guided bronchoscopy for histological diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions. The Secondary objective is to establish a strategy that can most effectively use endoscopes for early diagnosis of lung cancer in a real-world care environment by identifying patient/clinical/image/procedure-related characteristics that can optimize the practicality of emerging technologies.
The objective of this study is to construct a noninvasive approach using 68Ga- Mirc415 PET/CT to detect the PD-L2 expression of tumor lesion in patients with colorectal cancer, lung cancer and other solid tumor to identify patients benefiting from anti-PD-(L)1 treatment.
With the risen popularity of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening, many patients present with peripheral pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) with a suspicious solid part. The appropriate diagnostic and management strategy for those lesions can be questionable. If malignancy is suspected, a surgical biopsy with the guidance of various localization methods available is recommended. Each localization method has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it may not be possible to establish a gold standard for localizing indeterminate lung nodules since comparative clinical trials are lacking.
Patients with advanced lung cancer who have previously received immunocheckpoint inhibitor therapy, undergone chest radiation therapy again have developed radiation induced lung injury. Pirfenidone has anti-inflammatory and anti fibrosis effects. This study is intended to evaluate the effectiveness of pirfenidone combined with radiotherapy in the prevention of radiation pneumonitis.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-center, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity and, tolerability of pre-specified dose attenuated chemotherapy regimens in lung cancer patients with comorbidities.
The goal of this study is to learn if using a lay VA volunteer, who will assist patients with education regarding precision medicine, can improve care quality and outcomes for Veteran patients with lung cancer.
The current study will recruit lung cancer patients to measure tissue protein synthesis rates of non-small cell lung carcinomas and healthy lung tissue. The protein synthesis rates of healthy lung tissue will be compared to lung tumor tissue to establish the remodeling characteristics of healthy versus cancerous lung tissues. We will also examine whether tissue protein synthesis rates of non-small cell lung carcinomas are associated with various tumor- (i.e., size, subclassification) and patient-derived (i.e., inflammation, lung function, smoking status, and smoking history) parameters.
