Filter by:Breath analysis examining specific patterns of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been demonstrated to be able to discriminate lung cancer (LC) patients from healthy controls (HC). However, the existing technology uses complex, expensive, and low throughput analytical platforms to give an offline response, thus preventing its applicability for mass screening. The reliability of a new portable device to enable rapid, on-site LC diagnosis is tested.
Background: endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and staging mediastinal lymph node lesions in lung cancer. Adequate sedation is crucial for patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. Different sedation modalities, including moderate sedation/conscious sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia, are utilized. This study aims to evaluate patient comfort and satisfaction levels of healthcare providers (bronchoscopists and anesthesiologists) when administering remifentanil through Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) for conscious sedation during EBUS-TBNA. A prospective randomized study design compares this approach to the standard sedation protocol involving midazolam, fentanyl, and/or propofol. Methods: this study will enroll 30 eligible patients randomly divided into two groups. Group 1, "REMIFENTANIL TCI", underwent EBUS-TBNA under conscious sedation with remifentanil TCI infusion targeting a concentration of 3-6 ng/ml. Group 2, "STANDARD", received conscious sedation with a combination of midazolam, fentanyl, and/or propofol administered in boluses based on clinical requirements. Complications, safety, and satisfaction levels of the operator, anesthesiologist, and patients will be evaluated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of end-of-life conversation game "Hello" as a tool to help individuals with breast, lung, and/or genito-urinary cancers treated at Penn State Cancer Institute and their loved ones perform advance care planning. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What modifications and/or adaptations are necessary to Hello for use in cancer populations? - How do different delivery models compare for recruitment in terms of feasibility and efficiency? Participants will: - Complete pre-game questionnaires - Play the Hello game - Complete post-game questionnaires - Participate in a focus group
We retrospectively analyzed lung cancer patients who had NAICT and surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital. NAICT was defined as chemotherapy that included at one application of PD-1 inhibitor.
The general objective of this observational study is identify and describe the type, frequency, and severity of sexual dysfunction in patients with lung cancer and generate strategies for clinical management and oncological follow-up directed and based on the specific findings in this population. The recruitment will be carried out from July 2023 and will be carried out until December 2023, the analysis of the information will be carried out from January to March 2024.
To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of Perioperative Music Therapy Plus Oxycodone in pain management after thoracic surgery, patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. The experimental group will receive perioperative music therapy and the control group will not. We will record and contrast the postoperative oxycodone usage to evaluate the effect of music therapy in relieving the pain. We will also use visual analogue scale, questionnaire and EEG to evaluate patients' anxiety and depression.
In this retrospective study, investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the autologous blood patch method in percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsies performed with the coaxial technique.
The study to be carried out in the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology was planned as a randomized, prospective study. Patients who will undergo lung resection will be included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups: Intervention Group includes patients who are rehabilitated preoperatively (prehabilitation), Control Group includes patients who are routinely recommended preoperative exercise, alcohol and smoking cessation. Prehabilitation consists of respiratory muscle exercise and walking is recommended to Intervention Group. Postoperative recovery will be questioned with Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) on the 2nd day and 1st month. The intensive care unit admission, postoperative pulmonary complications and length of hospital stay will be recorded.
This research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of air stimulation to the face with a hand fan in the management of dyspnea in lung cancer patients. The universe of the research was carried out between December 2022 and February 2024, Izmir Provincial Health Directorate, University of Health Sciences, Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital will consist of cancer patients. Individuals who meet the sampling selection criteria from the specified universe will constitute the sample of the research. The sample number of the research was determined as a result of the power analysis made with the G*power program. As a result of the power analysis, based on the t-test in independent groups, the minimum number of samples to be taken was 27 people for a group with 1:1 ratio, 0.80 power, effect value 0.80 and 0.05 significance level. Randomization of the sample will be ensured by accepting the first patient who applied to the outpatient chemotherapy unit randomly and with an appointment at the beginning of the study to the experimental group, and the next patient to the control group. Considering the losses, it is planned to work with 60 people, 30 people in the intervention group and 30 people in the control group. Individual Descriptive Information Form, Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC), Cancer Dyspnea Scale, Vital Signs Follow-up Form, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale and General Comfort Scale Short Form will be used.
Lung cancers treated by Tomotherapy represent between 60 and 100 patients per year at the CHR of Metz-Thionville. Some patients were observed to present acute toxicities during treatment such as dysphagia or esophagitis of CTCAE grade > 2. Beyond well known therapeutic and comorbidities factors, the pathophysiology of these events is largely ruled by a constitutional factor - the enzymatic equipment allowing more or less good repair of the DNA lesions induced by radiotherapy (RT). This equipment is characteristic of each individual, hence the term individual radiosensitivity (IR).The scientific literature is rather poor in data describing the frequency of these toxicities in patients receiving RT for lung cancer. The objective of this study is to describe the frequency of acute and late toxicities after normofractionated radiotherapy of 66 Gy in 33 fractions in patients with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer, stage 2 or 3.
