Non-small cell Lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent type of lung cancer worldwide. Brain metastases (BM) are the most frequent neurological complications related to NSCLC and it is estimated that 20% to 40% of these patients will present them at some point during the progression of their
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a relatively rare type of malignant tumor. For patients with recurrent/distant metastasis/unresectable advanced soft tissue sarcoma, chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide is the standard treatment, but the effect is limited.
Targeted drugs represented by
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 prior to the treatment and the patient who has not yet completed
This is a single center, pilot study to evaluate critically ill patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The investigators anticipate to enroll 20 subjects at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica. The enrolled subjects
The administration of oral metformin during radiotherapy is thought to decrease the hypoxic fraction of tumour cells, improving radiosensitivity and promoting apoptosis, resulting in better outcome. This hypothesis will be evaluated in a trial with randomized design. All patients willing to
The goal of this research is to address the question:
"Does the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to radiation and chemotherapy improve outcomes in locally advanced oropharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma?"
There is reason to believe that hyperbaric oxygen administered immediately prior to
Monitored anesthesia Care (MAC) is a type of conscious sedation delivered by an anesthesiologist, during which different medications are given, usually via the intravenous route, to obtain varying levels of sedation depending on the surgery or procedure. This is routinely done for all EBUS
Brain metastases (BM) develop in 22-54% of NSCLC patients during the disease course. NSCLC patients with BM with a median overall survival (OS) of 2-3 months when treated with systemic corticosteroid alone, and a median OS of 3-6 months when treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States
The American Cancer Society estimates lung cancer incidence in the United States for 2018 to be about 234,030 and about 154,050 deaths.
In 2012, GLOBOCAN estimated that 1.8 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer,
This is a prospective pilot study funded by the NIHR. Healthy participants and patients will be recruited in The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and will be asked to undergo oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OE-MRI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). This study builds on the work
Lung cancer has been a leading cause of death for years. There are more than 10,000 new cases in Taiwan. Delayed discovery of the disease is a reason for high mortality rate. Most cases are discovered after second stage. Early discovery of the disease rely on low dose CT scans. Early stage lung
The prognostic relevance of the 'gross tumor volume' (GTV) in radiotherapy of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in stage III is adressed in a limited number of studies in the literature. The review article by Dubben et al., that comprises data until 1998, highlights the GTV as an important
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality after thoracic surgery. The elastic recoil reduction and structural changes in the small airways and alveoli cause pulmonary air trapping and hyperinflation in patients with COPD. Chronic
