Filter by:The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the CEST sequence would have diagnostic performance equivalent to the reference method of T2* infusion with contrast injection in the diagnosis of radionecrosis of lung cancer brain metastases.
Rationale Lung cancer remains to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide1. The current standard-of-care for small lung cancer is a total lobectomy. Albeit effective with respect to the radical excision of the tumour, the substantial loss in lung tissue may be clinically relevant, especially in combination with frequently co-existing lung diseases. Thoracoscopic segmentectomy is a combination of adequate oncological resection with lung-tissue-sparing properties and is being increasingly used because of its several advantages compared with lobar resections. By defining the segment that has to be excised pre-operatively, the key to successful pulmonary segmentectomy is to subsequently intraoperatively recognize the intersegmental planes correctly. The conventional and most common method uses a ventilation method (inflation/deflation technique). With the increasing availability of endoscopic imaging systems, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is a more advanced method to determine intersegmental planes. The major limitation is the use of an exogenous contrast agent. After injection, the ICG only has very limited "imaging time window" (minutes) in which the images can be used to determine the intersegmental planes. Furthermore, the use of dye limits repeatability of measurements due to rest ICG, the extra operating room time required for the injection, wash-in and wash-out of the dye as well as change of camera settings. These limitations leave room for new technologies and improvements. The investigators hypothesized that an endoscopic laser speckle imaging device could overcome the limitations of ICG-fluorescence imaging and could thus be a very useful addition in intersegmental plane detection. PerfusiX-Imaging (LIMIS Development BV, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands) is such an endoscopic laser speckle contrast imager that has been developed in the Medical Centre Leeuwarden since 2014. LSCI has never been used to identify intersegmental planes, however, based on the similarities between LSCI and ICG-fluorescence, this novel imaging approach is thought to be effective and potentially could be used as a standard-of-care. Objectives In this trial the investigators will study the utility of PerfusiX-Imaging for the identification of intersegmental planes during thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Study design The current study is a prospective, observational single-centre study in the Medical Center Leeuwarden. Study population A total of 10 patients undergoing an upper left or right lobectomy. Patient related study procedures All patients will undergo the standard-of-care program which includes perfusion assessment by ICG-fluorescence imaging. In addition to this standard-of-care, 2D-perfusion maps will be generated from images taken with PerfusiX-Imaging (LIMIS Development BV, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands). Not related to the patient, the PerfusiX-Imaging images will be shown to the surgeon postoperatively and peroperative questionnaires will be filled regarding the standard-of-care perfusion assessment. Study parameters/endpoints Due to the explorative character of this study, there is no formal hierarchy in the respective endpoints of this study. In this, all endpoints will add to the overall assessment of the feasibility of the PerfusiX-imaging derived visual feedback for detecting interlobar and intersegmental planes in lung tissue. The investigators will register whether it was possible to detect the intersegmental plane. Subsequently, compare the difference in location of both the interlobar and intersegmental planes as derived from visual feedback from the PerfusiX-imaging system is compared, with images derived from ICG imaging and the surgical eye. During the procedure, the time needed to generate and acquire the visual feedback from the PerfusiX-imaging system will be determined. The investigators will also determine the interpretability of the visual feedback from the PerfusiX-imaging system by users (surgeons). In addition, the investigators will determine Laser Speckle Perfusion Unit (LSPU) cut-off values of PerfusiX-imaging in lung tissue with the best sensitivity and specificity for the indication of level of tissue perfusion.

The aim of this study is to determine if erector spinae injections with bolus infusions with local anesthetic decrease postsurgical pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery.
This is a phase Ib/II open label study. The escalation part will characterize the safety and tolerability of JDQ443 single agent and JDQ443 in combination with the other study treatments (TNO155 and tislelizumab) in advanced solid tumor patients. After the determination of the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion will assess the anti-tumor activity and further assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of each regimen at the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose or lower dose.
This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG and 18F-FSPG PET/CT in lung, breast, and abdominal cancers before undergoing therapy. In addition, the role of 18F-FSPG PET/CT in evaluating therapy response and prognosis will also be evaluated.
The study will utilize both retrospective and prospective data collection from patients that already had a bronchoscopy and lung resection or will have a bronchoscopy and lung resection for squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to prospectively collect 5 bronchoscopic biopsies, 10ml blood and one tumor and adjacent normal samples from 200 qualified patients who meet the study criteria.
