Iloprost in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients at High Risk for This Disease
Lung CancerPrecancerous ConditionRATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Iloprost may be effective in preventing lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well iloprost works in preventing lung cancer in patients who are at high risk for this disease.
Prospective Screening and Differentiating Common Cancers Using Peripheral Blood Cell-Free DNA Sequencing...
Cancer DiagnosisLungCancer6 moreThe goal of this observational study is to screen and differentiate common cancers in participants with or without suspicious lesions. The main question the investigators aim to answer is: Can the developed model, using peripheral blood cell-free DNA sequencing, work well in screening and classifying common cancers especially in the early stages? Participants will undergo the collection of 15~20ml of blood and 1~2 telephone follow-up calls.
A Retrospective Cohort Study for Main Postoperative Complications After SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Intestines CancerPulmonary Cancer5 moreTo explore the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection in different time before operation and postoperative main complications (mortality, main pulmonary and cardiovascular complications) 30 days after operation; To determine the best timing of surgery after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Independent Predictors Analysis and Model Construction of Cavitary Central Lung Cancer
Central Lung CancerThis study is a retrospective, multicenter clinical study. The main goal is to identify the risk factors for cavity formation in central-type lung cancer lesions, and to construct a prediction model for cavity formation in central-type lung cancer lesions based on the above risk factors.
A Prognosis and Predicting Genetic Study of Lung Cancer
Lung CancerGenetic Predisposition to DiseaseLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality among adults worldwide. The incidence rates of lung cancer among never smoking females in some parts of East Asia are among the highest in the world. The adenocarcinoma of lung being the most frequently identified histological type is more weakly associated with smoking, and often occurs in females and never-smokers. Although family history of lung cancer has been associated with histological subtypes, the inherited susceptibility factors that affect specific histology are unknown. Genetic factors that determine individual predisposition to lung cancer have been identified via genome-wide association studies. These known common loci, however, explain only a small fraction of the familial risk of lung cancer. The hypothesis of this study is that there are genetic factors that confer inherited susceptibility among patients with primary non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Lung Cancer ID (Identity) Study
Lung Cancer Stage IVThe distribution of demographic, clinical, radiological, pathological and molecular characteristics of lung cancer at the time of diagnosis, as well as preferential association between elements of those domains, have not been specifically studied in Italy. The aim of the present project is to assess, in a systematic fashion, the demographic, clinical, radiological, pathological and molecular characteristics of advanced lung cancer at the time of diagnosis in a large Italian cohort of consecutive patients referred to two tertiary referral centers.
Main Postoperative Complications After COVID-19
Intestines CancerPulmonary Cancer4 moreTo explore the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection in different time before operation and postoperative main complications (mortality, main pulmonary and cardiovascular complications) 30 days after operation; To determine the best timing of surgery after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Iressa/Docetaxel in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Non-small Cell Lung CancerPatients will receive 250 mg Iressa by mouth daily each day while on this study. Patients will also receive docetaxel 30 mg/m2 by by vein (IV) on day 1 weekly for the first 3 weeks of each course of therapy. A course of therapy is 4 weeks. Patients will not receive docetaxel during week 4. A maximum of 8 full cycles of docetaxel plus Iressa are planned. Patients may continue on daily Iressa until progressive disease and/or unacceptable toxicity.
Evolution of Multiple Primary Lung Cancer (Evolution)
Multiple Primary Lung CancersLung Cancer1 moreTo investigate the evolutionary genomic landscape, explore the genetic tumor heterogeneity and microenvironment of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) by using tissue genetic analysis and circulating tumor DNA detection, in order to provide robust evidence for the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of MPLC.
PET/MR Imaging in Lung Cancer
Lung CancerThe purpose of this project is to investigate if PET/MR imaging improves the accuracy in visualization and characterization of lung cancer disease, compared to PET/CT.
