Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Serious side effects occurs with disease and treatments in survival after lung cancer. For this reason, functional capacity, cognitive status, pain perception and respiratory functions may be affected in lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, functional capacity, pain, cognitive status level, and physical activity in lung cancer patients and compare with the findings of healthy subjects

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people's lives have changed dramatically. People with lung cancer who are shielding may have been particularly affected as they may be unable to carry out many of their normal daily activities, such as grocery shopping and exercise, and are unable to interact with friends and family. People with lung cancer will also have experienced some changes to the clinical services available to them at The Christie. Using a questionnaire and interviews, the investigators want to understand patient experiences of the changes in their daily lives and the changes to their clinical care. This will help us to see if people with lung cancer need any additional support services or if there are any changes the investigators can make to clinical services to improve patient experiences. Eligible patients will be any lung cancer patients receiving current treatment or in active follow up.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the paclitaxel-bevacizumab combination retrospectively and multicenter in current practice, with subgroup analyses of the following patients: patients who have previously received immunotherapy, patients with an EGFR or ALK oncogenic addiction pathway, patients who have previously received taxanes or anti-angiogenic agents.

This study aims to explore the clinical significance and feasibility of double site biopsy by analyzing the pathological characteristics and the incidence of main complications of CT guided puncture biopsy of lung and other parts coexisting lesions.

Based on the previous work of LDCT screening, in order to improve the screening rate of central lung cancer for LDCT negative and severe smokers, the investigators plan to conduct China's first large-scale fluorescent bronchoscopy screening test.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the change of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) after 6-week treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with or without immunomodulatory drugs and recognize the effect of post-treatment NLR and overall survival in advanced lung cancer patients by retrospective review.

Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis and treatment outcomes. However, studies explaining the relationships between specific types of cancer and OSA are needed. In this study, it is aimed to show the effect of excessive daytime sleepiness as determined by Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) and the effect of OSA risk determined by STOP BANG questionnaire on survival and treatment outcomes in lung cancer. Method: The patients who admit the palliative care outpatient clinic of our hospital with the diagnosis of lung cancer (stage 3 and stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer or limited / extensive stage small cell lung cancer) between July 2019-2020 will be assessed for excessive daytime sleepiness(EDS) and risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by Epworth sleepiness scale and the STOP-BANG questionnaire. The patients will be grouped according to the risk of OSA and EDS.Total / progression-free survival, treatment outcomes and side effects of the treatment will be evaluated comparatively.

The purpose of this study to use Self-system therapy (SST), to treat depression and lung-cancer-related distress in older adults (65 years and older).

Anatomical resection with systematic lymph-node dissection is currently the standard of care for the treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer. The use of minimally invasive approaches has increased greatly over the last two decades [either video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS)], as they provide the patient with better outcomes than open thoracotomy. Minimally invasive VATS lobectomy for a standard case is generally a straightforward procedure for a well-trained surgical team, although concomitant preoperative pathologies or intraoperative findings/adverse events may result in technical difficulties, leading to intraoperative conversion, commonly by thoracotomy. The investigators aimed to assess long-term outcomes in a consecutive cohort of patients treated by anatomical pulmonary resection either using VATS, VATS requiring intraoperative conversion to thoracotomy, or upfront open thoracotomy for lung-cancer surgery.

ROS1 translocated Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare type of lung cancer with few datas. We collected datas concerning patients with ROS1 translocated NSCLC who received Brigatinib in the Compassionate Access after two others Tyrosine kinase Inhibitors
