Pre-Operative Assessment of Chest Wall Invasion in NSCLC Using Pre-Operative, Surgeon Performed Ultrasound
A study testing Transthoracic Ultrasound in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (75% of lung cancer) is associated with involvement of the parietal pleura and or chest wall (soft tissue and/or bone) in 5-8% of patients. Invasion of the chest wall increases the T staging in the Tumor, Node, Mestasis (TNM) classification system of lung cancer to a T3 and is associated… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Pre-Operative Assessment of Chest Wall Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)Using Pre-Operative, Surgeon Performed Ultrasound
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (75% of lung cancer) is associated with involvement of the parietal pleura and or chest wall (soft tissue and/or bone) in 5-8% of patients. Invasion of the chest wall increases the T staging in the Tumor, Node, Mestasis (TNM) classification system of lung cancer to a T3 and is associated with decreased survival and more extensive operative procedures. The reported 5-year survival for patients with T2 tumors is 58% compared to 38% in patients with T3 lesions. The American college of Chest Physician has still not identified the best tool to assess chest wall invasion by lung cancer, CT-Scan being used by physicians for this assessment. In some studies, CT scan has been shown to have a sensitivity ranging from 42 % to 68 % in assessing chest wall invasion, and a specificity ranging from 66 % to 100 %.
Trans-thoracic Ultrasound (US) has the capacity of allowing for dynamic real-time imaging of the pulmonary lesion and the chest wall. Therefore, US has the potential to allow for the appreciation of subtle findings related to the movement of the lesion and lung over the chest wall. Hence, US might be an accurate tool to assess chest wall invasion by lung cancer; thus improving pre-operative diagnosis, staging and operative planning of patient with chest wall invasion.

However US is not currently utilized in the pre-operative assessment of patients with lung cancer invading the pleura and chest wall, and has not been extensively studied.
In some rare studies evaluating the accuracy of US, results have shown a sensitivity ranging from 89% to 100% and a specificity ranging from 95% to 98% for US detecting chest wall invasion by lung cancer. However those studies got criticized. Bandi et al study, got criticized by the fact that the operators in the study were experienced interventional pulmonologists who perform hundreds of thoracic and endoscopic ultrasound per year. Nobuo et al study took place in 1993, since when the device of US has evolved, the investigators can not apply with certainty the findings of this study.
Consequently, there is a need to conduct a study to evaluate the accuracy of US to assess chest wall invasion by lung cancer.
In this prospective study the investigators will assess the accuracy of US, and then compare it to the accuracy of the CT-Scan

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (75% of lung cancer) is associated with involvement of the parietal pleura and or chest wall (soft tissue and/or bone) in 5-8% of patients. Invasion of the chest wall increases the T staging in the Tumor, Node, Mestasis (TNM) classification system of lung cancer to a T3 and is associated with decreased survival and more extensive operative procedures. The reported 5-year survival for patients with T2 tumors is 58% compared to 38% in patients with T3 lesions. The American college of Chest Physician has still not identified the best tool to assess chest wall invasion by lung cancer, CT-Scan being used by physicians for this assessment. In some studies, CT scan has been shown to have a sensitivity ranging from 42 % to 68 % in assessing chest wall invasion, and a specificity ranging from 66 % to 100 %.
Trans-thoracic Ultrasound (US) has the capacity of allowing for dynamic real-time imaging of the pulmonary lesion and the chest wall. Therefore, US has the potential to allow for the appreciation of subtle findings related to the movement of the lesion and lung over the chest wall. Hence, US might be an accurate tool to assess chest wall invasion by lung cancer; thus improving pre-operative diagnosis, staging and operative planning of patient with chest wall invasion.

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The primary outcome will be the accuracy of real-time chest ultrasonographic in assessing chest wall invasion compared to Ultrasound (time frame: 3-6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01206894, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
