View clinical trials related to Thoracic Tumor.
Filter by:This prospective registry-based trial will include patients with pelvic or thoracic tumors with an indication for radiotherapy treated with oART or IGRT. For the primary endpoint and the secondary clinical endpoints, the trial will compare oART versus IGRT, for technical endpoints the trial will compare the real oART scenario with two virtual (hypothetical) control scenarios. Primary endpoint: - 10% reduction in the rate of acute radiotherapy related toxicity (≥ CTCAE II°, v5.0) using oART Secondary endpoints: - Clinical endpoints: Tumor control, late toxicities compared to conventional irradiated patients, quality of life and patient-reported outcomes - Technical endpoints: Target volume, target coverage, dose to organs at risk, anatomical variability score
The reirradiation of thoracic tumor is difficult. The possibility of surgery or re course radiotherapy is very small. In the NCCN guideline, only systemic treatment is recommended. However, the effective rate of systemic treatment is low. SBRT has the characteristics of high dose in tumor target area and low dose in surrounding normal tissues. In theory, SBRT is more conducive to the protection of normal tissues and can potentially be used in the salvage treatment of recurrent lesions after radiotherapy. Even so, SBRT is still controversial in the rescue treatment of recurrent lung cancer after radiotherapy, especially for "ultral-central" lesions close to mediastinal structures (such as bronchus, esophagus and large blood vessels), which have a high probability of fatal side effects. However, a few studies on the application of SBRT in the reirradiation for ultral-central lung cancer have shown acceptable safety and efficacy. Generally speaking, there are few studies on SBRT in the treatment of recurrent ultral-central tumor with limited data. The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of SBRT in the treatment of recurrent ultral-central tumors after radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the Integrative Medicine at Home (IM@Home) program can help reduce patients' symptoms (such as tiredness, pain, or insomnia) and improve their satisfaction with treatment for their disease. The IM@Home program offers virtual (online rather than in-person) group classes focusing on mind-body practice. Mind-body practice is a health practice that combines mental focus, controlled breathing, and body movements to help relax the body and mind.
