Filter by:This study aims to explore whether cancer patients can benefit from completing the Pillars4Life online coping program. This randomized control trial will have half its subject completing the program and the other half receiving standard care in order to measure whether the program is beneficial in dealing with stress, anxiety, and particularly chronic pain that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
The goal of this study is to learn about the quality of life (QOL) in participants with advanced lung cancer.
VATS anatomical lung resection provides an effective minimally invasive treatment strategy for stage I and II lung cancer. VATS lobectomy is associated with significantly less postoperative atrial fibrillation, blood transfusion, renal failure, and other complications when compared with lobectomy via thoracotomy. Although VATS lobectomy has been proven to be effective and safe in experienced hands, it is not devoid of risk. Intra-operative surgical complications can be at times catastrophic. Complications include: pulmonary vascular injuries (PA, pulmonary vein) necessitating urgent conversion to open thoracotomy and even death14. Causes of conversion included PA injury, difficult anatomy, bulky/calcified lymph nodes, and technical problems including stapler misfire. PA injury alone constituted 37.5% of all conversions. Proper dissection of all tissue around PA branches is sometime difficult especially in the presence of adhesions or large, calcified lymph nodes and may increase the risk of vascular injury. Currently, in spite of being a safe and effective technique in experienced hands, a minority of anatomical pulmonary resections are being performed by VATS. In an analysis utilizing the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database in the United States, only 15% of anatomical lung resections were performed by VATS. The technical difficulty and danger of VATS lobectomy is directly related to PA branch manipulation, stapling and division. PA manipulation is the main hesitation of many thoracic surgeons regarding the adoption of VATS lobectomy. The investigators believe that by decreasing the manipulation and dissection required by the surgeon on the PA branches, these procedures will be safe and therefore more prevalent for anatomical pulmonary resections.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nano drug interventional therapy using digital subtraction angiography（DSA） for lung cancer. The nano drug is made by mixing Gemzar® with Compound Glycyrrhizin Injection.
The COPDGene® / Lung Cancer Database Study is a nested case-control study. This study is an ancillary study to COPDGene® Phase 1 and Phase 2. Lung cancer cases, which have been reported by COPDGene® subjects since the time of COPDGene® study enrollment, will be retrospectively verified with additional medical data collection pertaining to lung cancer. Additional 'control' subjects will also be identified and verified as a 'no lung cancer controls'. Data previously collected through the COPDGene® Study, including QCT results and clinical results (medication use, rate of acute exacerbations of COPD, etc) will be used as variables for analysis.
STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective, multi-reader, multi-case, (MRMC) randomized reader study. OBJECTIVE: Primary: The primary objective of this clinical study is to prove that a user aided with ClearRead CT InSight (CRCTI) is superior to the unaided reader for detecting actionable lung nodules. Secondary: The secondary objective of this clinical study is to prove that the reader's reading time is not significantly increased when aided with CRCTI. NUMBER OF SUBJECTS: Retrospective CT studies from approximately 300 patients will be included in the study. Approximately 100 true positive cases and 200 normal cases. NUMBER OF READERS: A reader study with at least ten (10) participating radiologists (US Board Certified) will be conducted. PRIMARY ENDPOINTS: Scores given by the radiologists with and without ClearRead CT Insight will be recorded and compared to the true status of the study-cases. The frequency of the scores for each method (Unaided, Aided) will be tabulated and LROC curves constructed along with sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and clinical actions. Additionally, machine nodule detection rate and false positives per patient on normal cases will be measured. PATIENT POPULATION : The study will target approximately one hundred (100) patients whose CT nodules were shown to be cancer and two hundred (200) normal patients. The patient population will be consistent with the national lung cancer screening protocols.
This is a prospective, single-center randomized trial with three arms, and an allocation ratio of 1:1:1. The study design is an efficacy study to evaluate the effect of metformin and coach-directed behavioral weight loss versus self-directed weight loss on insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF-1 to THE IGFBP-III ratio blood levels after 6 and 12 months of intervention. The coach-directed Behavioral Weight Loss arm is a web-based remote delivery and communication system that promotes healthy behavioral changes. The Metformin arm is a pharmaceutical intervention of oral metformin. This is a secondary prevention study for men and women who have survived solid malignant tumors
The study hypothesis is that clearer visual presentation of guideline recommendations and educational outreach, or academic detailing, can improve guideline compliance. However, it will investigate other aspects of screening-related decision-making, such as provider and patient beliefs about screening, provider-patient communication and patient's willingness to forgo expected testing. The research question is whether educational interventions can decrease non-compliance with screening guidelines for 5 common cancers.
This is a single center, open-label, nonrandomized, phase 1b study of TRC105 in combination with standard dose treatment in patients with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
In this study, effects of γδT cells on human non small lung cancer ( without EGFR mutation) in combination with tumor reducing surgery, for example cryosurgery going to be investigated.
