Filter by:This study assesses the effectiveness of transbronchial cryobiopsy guided by 3-dimensional fluoroscopy. Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a procedure to collect lung tissue. The main side effect seen after a transbronchial cryobiopsy is pneumothorax (air leaking out of the lung, which may cause a completely or partially collapsed lung). The standard imaging scans used during this procedure are 2-dimensional (like a photo), which can make it difficult for the doctor to know exactly where the biopsy tool is during the procedure. If the exact location of the device is not clear, a patient can be at a higher risk of pneumothorax. Using a 3-dimensional imaging technique may help to decrease the risk of pneumothorax during transbronchial cryobiopsy.
This study investigates multi-level barriers to lung cancer screening uptake and adherence to lung cancer screening. Identifying cost- and convenience-related barriers to lung cancer screening may help researchers develop targeted strategies to facilitate screening adherence specifically among vulnerable populations.
This clinical trial will conduct an educational intervention to promote knowledge of and preventive health behaviors related to personal air pollution exposure. Air pollution is n ubiquitous environmental exposure that is associated with harmful health effects including lung cancer. The educational intervention is comprised of 2 educational videos that include information regarding air pollution, health effects, and personal preventive health behaviors to reduce air pollution exposure and the use of a wearable air pollution sensor. The knowledge gained from this study may inform future research that will be designed to promote awareness of air pollution and its health effects.
This clinical trial evaluates the tolerability of a physical activity program in head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing cancer treatment. The goal of this trial is to give patients exercises prescribed by a physical therapist that they are able to complete regularly at home. Increasing physical activity may help patients reduce fatigue, improve mood, increase physical performance, and decrease joint pain.
This study tailors a shared decision making intervention for lung cancer screening in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Information collected in this study may help doctors better understand how to perform lung cancer screening in persons living with HIV, so as to enhance shared decision making in persons living with HIV.
This trial investigates an educational program called Awareness, Information, and Resources for Lung Cancer Screening Program in improving knowledge about lung cancer screening in medically underserved communities. This program aims to educate and remove barriers to lung cancer screening among medically underserved community members who are eligible for lung cancer screening, and to improve access to evidence-based screening guidelines for early detection for lung cancer in the Western New York area.
This trial studies how well black raspberry nectar works in changing the gut microbiome and in reducing inflammatory processes that may lead to lung cancer. Studying the effects of black raspberry beverage on inflammation may help doctors find strategies to reduce the risk of developing lung cancer.
This trial studies comprehensive geriatric and quality of life assessments in older patients with head and neck or lung cancer that has or has not spread to other parts of the body who are undergoing standard surgery or chemoradiation, and their caregivers. Comprehensive geriatric assessment may improve the quality of life of patients with head and neck or lung cancer and their caregivers.
This pilot early phase I trial studies the Automated Device for Asthma Monitoring and Management in monitoring adult patients with lung cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy. The Automated Device for Asthma Monitoring and Management may provide useful information to doctors to help monitor adult patients with lung cancer and diagnose certain conditions earlier than traditional means.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well provider training works in increasing patient tobacco cessation counseling and referrals for patients with cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Health care provider training in motivational interviewing techniques and utilizing tobacco cessation resources may help doctors understand how health care providers can effectively increase their confidence in talking to patients about tobacco cessation counseling.
