Filter by:This study is a prospective observational non-randomized clinical trial where all the participitants undergo the same procedure and every participitant's samples are compared to each other. The investigators conduct EBUS TBNA and EBUS TBMCB on all the study participants.The cryobiopsy samples are numbered to evaluate the number of biopsies needed to reach a definite diagnosis and to assess the added value of every sample taken from the same participitant. Every participitant's own samples are compared to each other and added value of EBUS TBMCB is defined as the difference in diagnostic yield between the EBUS TBNA alone and the combination of EBUS TBNA with EBUS TBMCB. Diagnostic yield is defined as the efficacy of the investigation module in reaching a definite diagnosis (percentage of cases with a definite diagnosis). Follow up four weeks after the procedure to assess the risk for postoperative complications.
This is a clinical study focused on the use of fiducial marker-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treating malignant tumors, including lung, liver, pancreatic, and kidney/adrenal cancers. Here's a breakdown of the key components of the study: Study Design: Prospective, single-center, exploratory clinical study. Patient Enrollment: The study intends to enroll patients diagnosed with malignant tumors requiring fiducial marker-guided SBRT. Each tumor type (lung, liver, pancreatic, kidney/adrenal) aims to include 15 cases. Informed Consent: Patients are required to sign informed consent before participating in the study, indicating their understanding of the procedures, risks, and benefits involved. Intervention: Enrolled patients will undergo stereotactic radiotherapy for their respective malignant tumors. During this process, fiducial markers will be implanted according to the study protocol. Monitoring: Following implantation of fiducial markers, the study will monitor adverse events associated with the procedure. This includes any complications or side effects resulting from the marker implantation process. Success Rate: The study will assess the success rate of fiducial marker implantation. This likely involves evaluating the accuracy and reliability of marker placement for guiding SBRT treatment. SBRT Treatment Error: The study will also monitor SBRT treatment errors. This involves tracking any deviations or inaccuracies in the delivery of stereotactic radiotherapy, potentially caused by issues such as improper fiducial marker placement or technical errors in treatment administration. Overall, the study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using fiducial marker-guided SBRT for treating various types of malignant tumors to assess both the safety and the efficacy with a focus on patient outcomes and treatment accuracy.
This study aims to investigate the potential factors contributing to the development of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients undergoing pulmonary resection with Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung malignancy. The study will focus on demographic data, laboratory parameters, perioperative fluid management, and haemodynamics. The research will be conducted at SBÜ Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital. The study will involve patients who have given informed consent and will undergo VATS with standard anaesthesia monitoring. Anaesthesia management will follow our routine protocol in our clinic. Patients will be divided into two groups based on whether they have a more than 25% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (t-GFH) and/or a 1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine and/or a 6-hour urine volume of less than 0.5 ml/kg/h. The patients will be divided into two groups based on this definition, and the risk factors between these groups will be analysed. The preoperative routine blood values, demographic data (age, gender, height, weight, and BMI), ASA physical status, smoking and alcohol habits, comorbidities, and regular medication use will be recorded. Intraoperative urine output and haemodynamic parameters will also be monitored. Routine blood gas analysis, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), albumin, haemoglobin, sodium, potassium, chlorine, and magnesium will be measured and recorded, along with urine output and t-GFH. Patients will be evaluated in the hospital on the day the surgeon calls for a postoperative check-up and on the 30th postoperative day to see if there are any complications.
The goal of this prospective, case-control study is to discover the specific "omics" biomarkers of early stage of lung cancer using the non-invasive samples (breath, urine and serum) in a total of 200 subjects (100 healthy controls and 100 lung cancer patient). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which are the "omics" biomarkers that characterize the early stage of lung cancer? - How to Translate Laboratory Data into Clinical Data? For each participant we will collected the breath, urine and blood samples. In lung cancer patients group the samples will be sample before lung cancer resection. The samples of Breath, urine and serum will be analysed using different type of analysis: eNose and the Gas Chromatography combined with Ion Mass Spectrometry (GC/IMS). Moreover, Serum will be analyzed by mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. The purpose of these analyses will be to find biomarkers capable of distinguishing the early-stage of lung cancer from the healthy group. Followup will be performed to evaluate the possible change of the volatolomic and proteomic profile.
Early lung cancer screening (LCS) through low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is crucial but underused due to various barriers, including incomplete or inaccurate patient smoking data in the electronic health record and limited time for shared decision-making. The objective of this trial is to investigate a patient-centered intervention, MyLungHealth, delivered through the patient portal. The intervention is designed to improve LCS rates through increased identification of eligible patients and informed decision making.
The study will take place at SBÜ Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital and will include 100 patients over the age of 40 who are scheduled for lung malignancy surgery after 01 April 2024. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients, who will be assigned a number from 1 to 100. For patients over 40 years of age who are scheduled to undergo lung malignancy resection surgery, demographic data including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, comorbidities, and ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologist) score will be recorded. In addition, hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test, and modified frailty index (a scoring system that includes 11 parameters) will be recorded prior to surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative complications will be documented. The duration of the patient's stay in the intensive care unit, chest tube removal, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications will also be recorded. A follow-up call will be made to the patient by the responsible researcher 90 days after the operation to inquire about any complications that may have developed within that time frame. The study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test analysis (PFT), and modified frailty index with the duration of intensive care unit stay, chest tube withdrawal time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications in patients undergoing lung resection due to malignancy.
The goal of this study is to test a new PET imaging agent in patients with solid tumors. This tracer is made of a radioactively-labeled monoclonal antibody MNPR-101, and can show where tumors are present in the body using a PET-scan. The investigators will investigate if the new imaging agent correctly shows all tumor lesions. In the future, this method may be useful to help predict who will benefit from certain therapies. Participants will be injected with the radioactive tracer once. After injection, participants will undergo 3 PET-scans. Each PET-scan will take a maximum of 30 minutes. The PET-scans are on separate days within 10 days after injection of the tracer (e.g., 2 hours after injection plus 3-5 days and 7-10 days after injection). Furthermore, the investigators will take blood samples 6 times (5 mL each). Blood pharmacokinetics (PK) will be measured on Day 1 at 10 min, 1h, 2h, once on Days 3-5, and once on Days 7-10. The amount of radioactivity injected will range between 37-74 MBq (±10%).
Numerous studies have shown that even when imaging does not reveal the presence of cancer cells, traces of tumor DNA (i.e. originating from cancer cells) can be detected in the blood of certain patients: this is called molecular residual disease (MRD). When such traces are detected (we speak of MRD+ status), the risk of relapse is much higher than when there is no circulating tumor DNA (MRD - status). Given the success of immunotherapy in treating patients with metastatic disease in a variety of tumor types, there is enormous enthusiasm for expanding the use of immunotherapy to people with cancer at an early stage. UMBRELLA is a biology-driven trial designed to study the impact of systemic treatment with tislelizumab monotherapy after detection of MRD+ status after completion of surgery and perioperative treatments in patients with cancer of a solid tumor. Residual disease (MRD) will be determined by optimized detection and precise monitoring of circulating tumor DNA, enabling early detection of recurrence and disease monitoring, including in patients without MRD [MRD(-)].
