Filter by:Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer (LC) screening can reduce mortality among heavy smokers, but there is a critical need to better identify people at higher risk and to reduce harms related to management of benign nodules. The most promising strategy is to combine novel tools to optimize clinical decisions and increase the benefit of screening. In this respect, the investigators already demonstrated that the combination of baseline LDCT features with a minimal invasive microRNA blood test was able to more precisely estimate the individual risk of developing LC. The investigators posit that additional immune-related and radiologic features can be integrated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to further implement LDCT screening strategies. The project will answer whether the combination of (bio)markers of different origin can predict LC development at baseline and over time, indicate which screen-detected lung nodules are likely to be malignant and ultimately reduce LC and all cause mortality.
The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
The primary purpose of this study evaluate if different messaging impacts response rates to a brief survey (i.e., the simplified eligibility tool) that is designed to estimate pack-year eligibility for lung cancer screening (LCS). This will help inform the best way to increase response rates to the tool in future intervention studies designed to increase LCS, and expand upon survey methodology in general.
This study aims to establish a holistic framework for continuous cancer survival surveillance in Russian regions with high-quality population-based cancer registry data. The data from the population-based cancer registries of the Northwestern regions of Russia will be used to assess net and cause-specific survival trends.
Project PLUS is a pilot study that aims to develop and obtain preliminary feasibility and efficacy data on an enhanced risk communication approach to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) intentions among screening-eligible individuals from environmentally burdened communities. Project PLUS will combine qualitative interviews to explore subject awareness regarding lung cancer risk and air pollution, barriers to LCS, and perceptions regarding risk communication messaging, develop a health education video, and a between-subjects experiment to compare Data from this pilot will form the basis for enhanced community engagement efforts and subsequent communication research to examine the effectiveness of incorporating the involuntary air pollution risk information in risk communication interventions. The long term goal is to reduce lung cancer burden and disparities among environmentally burdened communities within and outside of Philadelphia.
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled study to test the hypothesis that ePRO monitoring added to usual care helps prolong OS or maintain and improve HRQoL in patients with unresectable advanced cancers or metastatic/recurrent solid tumors receiving systemic drug therapy.
The aim of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ION endoluminal system at reaching and obtaining biopsies from lung nodules when used in combination with 3-dimensional imaging such as CT scans. Data on safety will also be collected.
The goal of this observational study is to study the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with different fractionation modes for early lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: How effective are different regimens of SBRT for early lung cancer? How safe are different regimens of SBRT of SBRT for early lung cancer?
This is a randomized, controlled trial to assess the feasibility of Sidekick Health's digital programs for cancer patients. Participants will be treated with standard of care (SoC) in combination with the digital programs, or SoC only. We will compare the effect of the digital programs in addition to SoC to SoC only, on the cancer-related quality of life (QoL), cancer-related fatigue, and side-effect management.
The goal of this clinical trial is to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among Hispanic current and former smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What barriers do current and former Hispanic smokers face in the identification and documentation of their smoking status? - How can digital delivery of an educational video promote LCS uptake among current and former Hispanic smokers? Participants will receive an educational video about lung cancer screening and complete brief, self-reported surveys afterwards.
