Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Lung adenocarcinoma in Chinese females is hypothesized to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors. In this grant proposal, we propose to map the loci of susceptibility genes of female lung adenocarcinoma based on multiplex families recruited in Taiwan. We focus on a unique pathological type of a unique population in order to reduce heterogeneity of the genetic background. Compared with western women, female Chinese population has a high prevalence of lung adenocarcinoma. Our reasoning is that if we focus on a specific sub-type, which has a familial basis, we will increase the probability of identifying genes associated with female lung adenocarcinoma. The primary goal of this study is to identify the genetic and environmental determinants of female lung adenocarcinoma, and study the relationship between gene polymorphisms and clinical manifestation profiling of lung cancer.

The investigators propose to create a database at the regional level, the principle is to include all patients in whom a mutation was detected from a single platform (Lille). The creation of this regional cohort, smaller than the national cohort of Biomarkers France, will perform a more comprehensive collection of clinical data, and molecular monitoring data of patients included. To increase the completeness of the collection of information, it will not be based on voluntary prescribing clinician but will be largely carried out by CRA dedicated to this activity.

Correlation of epithelial growth factor receptor mutation in blood of lung cancer patient and clinical outcome.

This is a pilot study that aims to develop a lung cancer screening program for workers in British Columbia, Canada exposed to asbestos who are at risk of developing lung cancer/pleural mesothelioma. This is high risk population is at of respiratory system diseases as a result of their occupational exposures. Additionally, knowledge garnered from this study will allow us to develop other studies that will further our understanding of asbestos related lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The purpose of this study is to show that dogs are able to detect cancer in sweat samples. This potentially would be the base for developing a new efficient, non invasive and inexpensive diagnosis tool of lung cancer.

This is a prospective observatory clinical study, aiming to establish and validate venous thromboembolism risk model in Chinese advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Conduct a prospective study to confirm the value of circulating tumor DNA and its aberrant methylation in longitudinal monitoring of surgical lung cancer patients.

An observational study to explore prognoses and clinical treatments of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer complicated with oligometastases

This experiment has now collected 50 cases, all through CT chest scans and blood exosome detection. Twenty-two patients underwent surgical treatment and 14 tissue specimens were examined for cancer and paracancerous tissue exosomesWe found that exosomal micor-A was highly expressed in early stage lung cancer tissues and was significantly higher than paracancerous tissues. The micor-A in the adjacent tissues was significantly higher than that in peripheral blood exosomes

The risk of thromboembolism is elevated in lung cancer patients. The present project investigates whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) further increases the risk of thromboembolic disease in lung cancer patients. If coagulation is activated by SBRT, this study could form the basis of new clinical trials investigating whether lung cancer patients may benefit from thromboprophylaxis during and after stereotactic body radiation therapy.
