Filter by:The majority of lung cancer patients have a tumor-derived genetic alteration in circulating plasma DNA that could be exploited as a diagnostic tool. The aim of this study is to evaluate if plasma DNA can be used as a valuable non invasive test to monitor disease progression without assessing the tumor.
This study will determine the objective response rate in chemotherapy naive non-small cell lung cancer patients with advanced disease.
The optimal strategy in advanced non small cell lung cancer with stable disease is not well known. There is no published study assessing an early change of chemotherapeutic drugs in these patients.Accordingly, we conduct this trial with the objective to improve the rate of objective responses by the switch to another doublet after 2 cycles of CDDP-gemcitabine association for patients with stable diseases (SD).
The follow-up of patients operated on for lung cancer is heterogeneous. An intensive follow-up including routine clinic visits, chest X-rays, chest computed tomography (CT) scans and fiberoptic bronchoscopies might detect more small, potentially curable, recurrences and second cancers. However, as it appears in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recommendations, a large randomized study is necessary to evaluate the survival impact of such a follow-up strategy. This is the main objective of this IFCT-0302 study, which is a large randomized controlled study conducted in France comparing this intensive follow-up to a follow-up with only routine clinic visits and chest X-rays.
The study compares 2 different methods of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the treatment of localised lung cancer in patients not suitable for surgery. Hypothesis(es) to be tested: 1. Vinorelbine + cisplatin + high-dose palliative radiotherapy is superior to gemcitabine + high dose palliative radiotherapy in terms of efficacy in a multi-institutional setting 2. Vinorelbine + cisplatin + high-dose palliative radiotherapy is superior to gemcitabine + high dose palliative radiotherapy in terms of feasibility in a multi-institutional setting 3. Vinorelbine + cisplatin + high-dose palliative radiotherapy has a favourable toxicity profile relative to gemcitabine + high-dose palliative radiotherapy
The association between cancer and thrombosis is well known and the occurrence of thrombotic complications is commonly associated with poor prognosis. The aim os this study is to determine the possible value of hypercoagulable parameters as prognostic parameters in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).
The purposes of this study are to determine: How standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin compares to fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The safety of standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin and any side effects that might be associated with it as compared to a fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
Radiotherapy is treatment of choice for inoperable lung cancer. Research has shown that the local control rate is low and the radiation often causes pneumonitis and/or esophagitis. To predict to lung damage the mean lung dose can be calculated. This allows us to give a higher total dose to the tumor and to improve the local control rate. Study hypothesis: It will be safe to administer a radiation dose as high as possible to the tumor, taking into account the mean lung dose, calculated by the treatment planning system.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the adminstration of celecoxib, a cox2-inhibitor in patients with stage II-III non small cell lung cancer receiving radical radiotherapy. The hypothesis is that celecoxib will increase the remission rate of radiotherapy.
In this study we try to increase the radiation dose, while reducing or keeping the radiation schedule below 4 weeks. The study hypothesis is that it is feasible to administer hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy to patients with inoperable or locally advanced non small cell lung cancer.
