Provider Support and Patient Outreach in Lung Cancer Screening
This clinical trial tests how well providing education improves screening for lung cancer in patients with a history of smoking. Screenings may help doctors find lung cancer sooner when it may be easier to treat. Education and counseling may be an effective method to help providers and patients learn about lung cancer screening. Providing education and decision counseling to providers and patients may increase lung cancer screening.

SURGE: Supporting UnderRepresented Minorities in Genomics-based Cancer Trial Enrollment (Intervention)
SURGE aims to increase equity in clinical trial enrollment by addressing barriers to genomic testing, which is increasingly needed to assess precision clinical trial eligibility and access standard precision therapies. The study is an interventional pilot meant primarily to assess the feasibility of the intervention. The intervention is comprised of a patient navigator, text message questionnaire, and informational video.

Clinical and Molecular Study With Digital Support of Patients With Inoperable Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to provide high quality oncology services to patients with inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in Greece. These services will be based on 3 pillars: 1. Clinical: personalized treatment will be administered and its effectiveness and safety will be recorded and evaluated. 2. Molecular: the gene footprint of each patient at the beginning of his treatment, the molecular identity of his tumor will be analyzed and recorded based on analysis with modern Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques. 3. Digital: Patients will have access to the digital platform where they will record the adverse reactions they will face during their treatment.

Impact of a Personalized and Secure Video Information Support and Web Platform on Preoperative Anxiety in the Context of Breast Cancer Surgery
The medical information delivered to the patient before any surgery constitutes an essential and compulsory step during the initial management of the operated patient. There are different reasons for the quantity and quality of medical information retained by the patient. An internet platform with personalized and secure access has been developed. This platform contains, among other things, an explanatory video of breast surgery and allows the patient to have access to information on surgical management at any time. The investigators believe that unlimited access for the duration of the study to this platform could reduce the preoperative anxiety level of patients.

Nutritional Support in Patient Undergoing Induction Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
Patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer have difficulty eating, as the food pipe becomes obstructed by the cancer. This may impair the ability for the patient to receive appropriate calorie intake, especially during administration of chemotherapy and radiation therapy given prior to surgical resection. A strategy is to place a feeding tube directly in the stomach or in the small bowel to have an access to the patient's gastrointestinal tract during administration of chemo radiation therapy. However, these feeding tubes may lead to adverse events, including dislodgement, infection, the tube may be plugged, etc. If these complications were to happen, patients may have their treatment delayed, may have to come to the emergency department or even be admitted. In some cases, patients may need to have a surgery performed to treat the complication. Most centres in Canada have moved away from placement of these feeding tubes due to the high incidence of complications associated with the feeding tubes placement, and due to the high efficacy from the chemoradiation therapy in shrinking the tumour, allowing for the patient to swallow. In London, the preference from the Medical and Radiation Oncologists was to have these feeding tubes placed to avoid delay in treating the patients. There is therefore significant controversy as to what is the best approach in this patient population. Our goal is to run a feasibility randomized controlled trial studying this question.

Development of a Clinical Decision Support System With Artificial Intelligence for Cancer Care
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) to augment clinical care and decision making. These are platforms which aim to improve healthcare delivery by enhancing medical decisions with targeted clinical knowledge, patient information, and other health information. In view of the benefit of developing a CDSS, we sought to develop an alternative CDSS for oncologic therapy selection through a partnership with Ping An Technology (Shenzhen, China), beginning with gastric and oesophagal cancer. This would be done in a piecemeal fashion, with the prototype platform utilizing only international guidelines and high-quality published evidence from journals to arrive at case-specific treatment recommendations. This platform would then be evaluated by comparing its recommendations with that from the multidisciplinary tumour boards of several tertiary care institutions to determine the concordance rate.

Construction and Evaluation of Supportive Care for Patients With Prostate Cancer During Hormonal Therapy
The incidence rate of prostate cancer has been increasing rapidly in China in recent years. However, a large number of studies have shown that, patients with prostate cancer during hormonal therapy generally face the imbalance of high information demand and low information acquisition, which affects their mental health and quality of life, and even reduces their treatment adherence. Thus, the investigators designed a randomized control study in one cancer center in Shanghai. Prostate cancer patients during hormonal therapy were followed up in the urology clinic and ward, and then they were randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to the order of enrollment. The control group was given routine information communication, and the experimental group was given information support program intervention on this basis. The effects of the intervention was evaluated after 3 months. The investigators expected that the information support program would be helpful to improve patients' self-efficacy level, and to enhance their confidence in self-management and coping with difficulties, so as to improve patients' adherence of health behaviors and improve their health-related quality of life.

Living Better With Advanced Breast Cancer (LIBERATE) Phase II: Evaluating the Feasibility of a Supportive, Self-management Website in Women Living With Secondary Breast Cancer.
The LIBERATE intervention is a multi-component self-management, symptom monitoring and signposting website tailored to the supportive needs of women living with secondary breast cancer. Overall, this intervention aims to improve quality of life among this growing group of patients through targeted, tailored and accessible information and support. This randomised waiting list control trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of the clinically integrated LIBERATE intervention. Results of participants' online symptom monitoring questionnaires are integrated with their electronic patient record, enabling clinician review and follow up alongside participants' own self-management activities.
