Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer may have hypofunction of the adrenal cortex either from tumour metastasis or other mechanisms. Since lung cancer patient may have to undergo stressful investigation and treatments, undetected hypofunction of the adrenal cortex may be hazardous. Knowledge of the size of the problem may help determine whether routine check is warranted.

This is an observational study designed to follow patients with metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable CRC or locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (excluding predominant squamous histology) who are receiving Avastin in combination with first-line chemotherapy. Second-line metastatic CRC patients are also eligible. Patients who started their Avastin containing therapy <4 months prior to enrollment are eligible.

Early detection of lung cancer may improve treatment outcomes. Risk factors have been identified, suggesting a population which might benefit from regular screening. Lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has experienced a recent renaissance with reported sensitivity for detection of lung cancer of 2.7% in high-risk populations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of LCDT for the early diagnosis of lung cancer in Ontario.

This is a multicentre, prospective, study of EGFR )Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutation status in advanced NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer)patients (locally advanced and/or metastatic disease) with adenocarcinoma histology proposed to be conducted at 15 sites from different geographical regions across India. The study targets to enrol 268 patients over a period of 6 months.

This trial studies how well radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound works in detecting the complete or partial collapse of the lung in patients undergoing peripheral bronchoscopy. Diagnostic procedures, such as radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound and bronchoscopy, use a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view and take pictures of the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs.

European lung cancer screening studies using computed tomography (CT) have shown that a management protocol based on measuring lung nodule volume and volume doubling time (VDT) is more specific for early lung cancer detection than a diameter-based protocol. However, whether this also applies to a Chinese population is unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of a volume-based protocol with a diameter-based protocol for lung cancer detection and optimize the nodule management criteria for a Chinese population.

This study aims to determine if a deep neural artificial intelligence (AI) network (NeuralSeg) can learn how to assign the Canada Lymph Node Score to lymph nodes examined by endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA), using the technique of segmentation. Images will be created from 300 lymph nodes videos from a prospective library and will be used as a derivation set to develop the algorithm. An additional100 lymph node images will be prospectively collected to validate if NeuralSeg can correctly apply the score.

The aim of our study was to compare the daily living activities with a performance-based protocol in lung cancer patients and healthy controls.

The treatment landscape of metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving. There are new diagnostic and treatment options available in the coming months and years. New combination treatments will give different solutions to pneumo-oncologists who might be guided by certain patient and tumor characteristics. The link between patient and tumor characteristics in untreated stage IV non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and systemic treatment needs further investigation, allowing the identification of possible treatment issues, data gaps and/or areas of improvement.

To demonstrate that the specificity of the Hummingbird microRNA profile for the diagnosis of lung cancer in a cohort of patients who meet current eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening in the U.S. is superior to the specificity of LDCT.
