Filter by:Other than optimizing medical management of cardiac risk factors, and reducing radiotherapy (RT) dose to the heart, there currently exist no interventions to mitigate or reverse the adverse cardiac effects of RT. Aerobic exercise has been demonstrated to improve patient quality of life, cardiac outcomes, and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving cardiotoxic systemic therapies, but the effects of aerobic exercise on patients at high risk for radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) is unknown. In addition, home-based cardiac rehabilitation has not been tested in patients with thoracic cancers.
Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic thoracic malignant lesions
Thoracoscopic assisted mediastinal thymectomy is currently one of the most commonly used surgical methods, but there are some deficiencies.Minimally invasive surgery through the subxiphoid approach can achieve a good surgical field of vision. (1) The surgical field is fully exposed. (2) damage to intercostal nerves can be avoided.(3) Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative Extubation time is similar to VATS. But there is still lack of evidence. In this study, 50 patients undergoing subxiphoid uniportal VATS and 50 patients undergoing intercostal uniportal VATS were included to evaluate the post-operative pain and quality of life after surgery.
This is a randomized phase III trial that will randomize elderly patients(70 years of age and older) who are not considered eligible for standard doublet or triplet regimens. In a 2:1 fashion, patients will be randomized to the customization arm or the standard arm, respectively. This trial will be offered to patients who are previously untreated for stage IV NSCLC. The primary objective is to evaluate if chemotherapy selection based on histology and tumoral molecular determinants ERCC1, RRM1 and TS (arm A, the experimental arm) results in superior outcome in elderly patients with untreated, advanced NSCLC compared to standard of care treatments (arm B, the standard arm).
Observational, multicenter study in patients with lung cancer and other thoracic tumors. The GECP, in its commitment to improve the treatment and prognosis of patients with lung cancer and other thoracic tumors, has marked the individualization of treatment according to the expression of markers predictive of response to chemotherapeutic agents and molecular inhibitors of cell proliferation as one of its primary objectives. This could significantly improve the prognosis of patients with lung cancer, and will lead to a radical change in routine clinical practice. The aim of the register is to explore all data available of all patients treated because of thoracic tumours.
