Endobronchial Ultrasound vs Mediastinoscopy in NSCLC
Non-small Cell Lung CancerProper staging of Lung cancer is of paramount concern when determining a treatment regime. Currently the assessment of surgical candidacy is performed with the staging process, mainly the mediastinoscopy. A mediastinoscopy has the ability to access samples of the paratracheal lymph node stations (Levels 2R, 2L, 3, 4R, 4L), as well as the anterior subcarinal lymph node station (Level 7). In comparison, the EBUS-TBNA technique is a real-time procedure that has the potential to access the same paratracheal and subcarinal lymph node stations associated with the mediastinoscopy, but also extending out to the hilar lymph nodes (Levels 10 and 11). Because of the possibility of extended sampling range and a reduction in procedural invasiveness, EBUS-TBNA may represent a more efficient patient centered alternative to mediastinoscopy in the staging of lung cancer patients. Additionally, patients who are have lymph nodes in the N2 region frequently undergo chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy prior to surgery. Assessment of the lymph nodes after chemo/radiation is done using CT scans, as re-mediastinoscopy is a technically difficult procedure. These patients may benefit from EBUS-TBNA.

Move For Surgery - A Novel Preconditioning Program
Lung CancerNonsmall CellLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Canada. Most patients with this cancer will undergo treatment with major chest surgery that is associated with serious complications. As many as 50% of patients will suffer respiratory complications after surgery, keeping them in the hospital for extended periods of time. These long hospitalizations have a dramatic negative effect on the lives of those people, in addition to a large cost burden on our healthcare system. Traditionally, patients who suffer from complications are treated with rehabilitation AFTER the complications have occurred. But what if complications can be prevented BEFORE they happen? Having major chest surgery imposes great stress on the human body, one that is equivalent to running a marathon. Analogous to training before completing a marathon, the investigator designed Move For Surgery (MFS), a novel preconditioning program that encourages and empowers patients to improve their health prior to surgery. The investigator aims to demonstrate that patients who train with Move For Surgery will have lower respiratory complication rates, will recover better, and will leave the hospital sooner than their counterparts.

Dose Individualization of Pemetrexed - IMPROVE-III
Non Small Cell Lung CancerMesotheliomaRationale: Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted folate antagonist, which is primarily indicated for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and mesothelioma. Dosing of cytotoxic agents like pemetrexed requires balancing the dual risk of sub-therapy and toxicity. Administration of pemetrexed to patients with a creatinine clearance <45 ml/min is currently not advised. Pemetrexed is dosed based on body surface area (BSA), while renal function and dose are the sole determinants for systemic exposure. This causes 3 major issues: In patients with renal dysfunction, BSA-based dosing may lead to haematological toxicity Patients have to discontinue treatment due to declining renal function, and are withheld effective treatment Even in patients with adequate renal function (GFR >45 ml/min) treatment may be improved by individualized dosing based on renal function, resulting in less toxicity. Also, BSA-based dosing may lead to ineffective therapy in patients with above average renal function. The investigators aim to address these problems. Objective: The overall main objective is to develop a safe and effective individualized dosing regimen for pemetrexed. Study design: IMPROVE-III is an explorative microdosing study to assess the extrapolability of microdose-pharmacokinetics to the pharmacokinetics of a therapeutic dose. Study population: IMPROVE-III includes 10 patients of IMPROVE-I and/or IMPROVE-II. Intervention: patients will be administered a microdose with subsequent pharmacokinetic assessment. Main study endpoints: The predictive performance of microdosing to predict full dose pharmacokinetics
