Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

In pre-clinical study we found that the thioredoxin reductase activity of serum harbours huge difference between cancer patients and non-cancer patients, the enzyme activity elevated remarkably among cancer patients, and after any kind of treatment serum thioredoxin reductase activity declined remarkably, so we hypothesis that serum thioredoxin reductase activity could be a warning marker for early progression of first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer

The primary objective of the study is to collect epidemiological data on EGFR mutation status (M+, M-) in a population of predominantly Caucasian ethnicity and to correlate EGFR mutation status with clinico-pathological characteristics (e.g. smoking status, sex, histology, etc). In particular, the study will aim to determine the frequency of EGFR M+ lung cancers in patients with clinico-pathological characteristics that are not commonly associated with EGFR mutation positivity (i.e., smokers, men, and non-adenocarcinoma).

Overview of treatment reality in patients with bronchial carcinoma requiring systemic treatment and being treated by office-based oncologists in Germany.

To prospectively look at the utility of routine cervical mediastinoscopy (lymph node biopsy) in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC, as well as patients with clinically staged T1N0M0 NSCLC with a high maxSUV of the primary tumor on PET imaging. Hypothesis #1: The prevalence of mediastinal lymph node metastases detectable by cervical mediastinoscopy is sufficiently low (<10%) to not support the routine use of this test in the study population. Hypothesis #2: The preoperative detection of occult(hidden) N2 lymph node metastases by cervical mediastinoscopy in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC or T1N0M0 NSCLC with maxSUV >10 on PET does not provide a survival benefit when compared to detection of occult N2 lymph node metastases at the time of thoracotomy using nodal dissection or systematic sampling.

This is a descriptive observational study. The primary objective is to explore the EGFR gene mutation status in early stage NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology after complete resection. The patients should be histological confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung, have received complete resection and tested for EGFR mutation in regular medical practice.

The patients from 12 centers were included into the study. pN2 patients received PORT, pN1 patients did not. PORT was 3D-planned and consisted in 54-56 Gy in 27-28 fractions. One month after surgery, all patients completed EORTC QLQ C-30 questionnaires and had pulmonary function tests (PFT); cardiopulmonary symptoms were assessed by modified LENT-SOM score. Two years after, all patients free of disease repeated the same examinations. Changes in QLQ, LENT-SOM score and the results of PFT were compared for patients receiving and not PORT.

This is a clinical trial using retrospective data of two different software devices developed by Riverain Medical Group: Softview and OnGuard 5.0. The two studies will be run concurrently. Riverain Medical Group's computer systems are designed to assist radiologists in their identification of lung cancer on chest radiographs. The current machine received FDA Pre-Market Approval. This is to test two new software approaches.

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate associations between EGFR and AKT DNA-polymorphisms involved in transcriptional regulation and overall survival in NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs.

The principal objective is to study clinical observations, symptoms and quality of life of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing specific non-operative treatment for cancer, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not CTCs can be detected in blood samples taken from patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. The purpose is to compare CTC analysis to tumor samples to look for differences.
