Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The primary objective of the study is to provide expanded access to and characterize the safety profile of tarlatamab in participants with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after two or more prior lines of treatment (including at least one platinum-based regimen).

The investigators will evaluate the prevalence of lung cancer associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) utilizing the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) database, spanning the period from January 2011 to December 2011. The database (HIRA-NPS-2011-0001) was based on random sampling of outpatients from whole population. Patients with ILDs, IPF, connective tissue disorder (CTD), and COPD were identified based on the International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) diagnostic codes.

The study aims to optimize and define a reproducible and non-invasive method for canine assisted lung cancer detection, using human breath samples from patients and controls for training and testing purposes.

Surgical removal of a tumour in the lung offers the best chance for survival in early stage lung cancers. One main criteria of surgical eligibility is the absence of cancer spread to the lymph nodes; rendering the staging process extremely important. The evaluation of these lymph nodes is thought to be best completed using Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), a procedure in which several lymph nodes are sampled and send to pathology to determine whether or not it is malignant. More recently, studies have observed that there are clear differences in the characteristics of cancerous and benign (non-cancerous) lymph nodes, and so there has been great interest in creating a list of criteria that can determine whether a node is malignant. This study aims to prospectively validate a previously proposed score based on observed characteristics of lymph nodes during an EBUS procedure relating to pathology-confirmed results. To test this, the results of the lymph node samples and the observed score will be compared for agreement. If the investigators find that the scoring system can accurately predict which lymph nodes are cancerous, it would provide the evidence to establish the score as a standard procedure during cancer staging.

Lung Cancer and melanoma relapsed frequently whereas its very sensitive to treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of why those patients are relapsing using next generation sequencing to identify rare mutations and assessed their predictive value.

p53 is a tumor suppressor gene which plays an important role in controlling normal cell proliferation regulation that is located on the chromosome 17 (17p13.1). It is the most common goal of genetic alteration in many tumors. Serum p53 protein is presence in normal healthy individuals. However p53 antibody is extremely rare. Mutations in this gene cause an accumulation of non-functional proteins and development of anti-p53 antibodies, which can be detectable in tissues, slouhed cells, blood and other body fluids. Some studies have reported that, p53 mutations are highly common in leukemia, lymphoma, lung, esophagus, stomach, liver, bone, bladder, ovarian, and brain cancers. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths and the survey is low after the initial diagnosis. Accurate staging is important for determine the choice of treatment and predict prognosis. 18F-FDG PET/BT has important value for initial staging and it is the most advanced imaging technique developed all over the world for determine of the characterization of the metabolic tumor volume. Maksimum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) which was acquired by PET imaging is commonly used in clinical practice as a criterion for malignancy. Due to the development of new software programs recently studies have shown that metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) may be useful quantitative parameters for the prognostic evaluation. Viable tumor volume could be estimate with this programs.The purpose of this study was to assess the relation between serum anti-p53 antibody level and quantitative PET parameters as SUVmax, SUVave, MTV and TLG.

The purpose of this study is to compare the fatigue in lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment, between the education programme in self-care a multidisciplinary with the group who received standard care.

Denutrition and Obesity are risk factors for perioperative surgical complications. In patient with cancer, incidence of denutrition is markedly increased. Surgical resection of cancer induces a high intensity cellular stress response and catabolism reinforcing the risk for perioperative denutrition. In this study, we thought to investigate the change in body composition during the perioperative period using anthropometric measurements and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).

There is a paucity of data concerning the impact of the sedation technique used for endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) on diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-TBNA in deep and moderate sedation, and to investigate other possible determinants of diagnostic accuracy in three lymph node locations (mediastinal, subcarinal, and hilar). The first consecutive patients at the University Hospital Zurich undergoing EBUS-TBNA for selective sampling in deep sedation are compared with the first consecutive patients in moderate sedation between 2006 and 2014. Diagnoses based on EBUS-TBNA were compared with those on surgical or radiological follow-up.

The aim of this study is to determine if DCAMLK1 can be measured in the endobronchial biopsy specimens and bronchial washings from patients with lung cancer.
