Imaging Multiparametric/Multimodality for Lungcancer
France200 participantsStarted 2017-08-28
Plain-language summary
1. To build an imaging biobank of 200 patients with lungcancer, including pathologic and molecular characteristics of the tumor (mutational status, circulating DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA) from serum biobank…), staging of the cancer (according to the new 2016 Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) status, the table that classify non-small cell lungcancer) and follow-up informations (Response to first-line treatment (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)), disease-free survival, 1-3 years survival).
2. To propose a simple severity scoring system based on tumor features such as size, doubling time (if available), location, amount of enhancement and necrosis. Such approach has been proposed for glioma evaluation (Visually Accessible Rembrandt Images (VASARI)) but is not available for the lung. The objective is to do better than the Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging.
3. To develop and evaluate an IntraVoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) protocol for lungcancer evaluation.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
