Hypermethylation of VTRNA2-1 Promoter in HCC Outcome
Hepatocellular Carcinoma ResectableThe clinic-pathological data were retrieved from the cancer registry database from the Cancer Center of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou branch. Of the 92 HCC patients with partial hepatectomies enrolled. The biological specimen was studied with approval.

Hypoxia-Specific Imaging to Predict Outcomes of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy
Recurrent Aggressive Non-Hodgkin LymphomaRecurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma10 moreThis study evaluates whether tumors present in patients with cancer who are planned to get CAR T-cells have low amounts of oxygen (hypoxia). PET scans may be used to check the amounts of oxygen within areas of cancer with a special radioactive tracer called FAZA that specifically looks for areas of low oxygen. This study is being done to help researchers determine how the amount of oxygen within areas of cancer affect how well CAR T-cells kill cancer cells.

PPI Therapy Impact on GERD After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Gastro Esophageal RefluxBarrett Esophagus1 moreThe trial would to try to establish: The best post-operative PPI prescription protocol after Sleeve Gastrectomy The impact of PPI therapy on postoperative peptic diseases (erosive gastropathies, ulcers, duodenitis, esophagitis and/or Barrett) The impact of PPI therapy on post-operative GERD symptoms (assessed with the use of two standard tests: MRGE-HRQL and GERDQ

SHOX2_PTGER4 DNA Methlyation in Lung Cancer
LungcancerData on SHOX2 and PTGER4 DNA Methylation suggest possible use as a biomarker for early lung cancer diagnosis. In this study a control group consisting of COPD patients with a CT-scan of the chest no older than 6 weeks and a control group of patients with a nodule and ruled out diagnosis of lung cancer will be included. SHOX2 and PTGER4 will be analyzed via PCR.

Contrast Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound in Pancreas Lesions
PancreatitisPancreas Cancer1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether quantitative contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS) improves the evaluation of pancreas tumors and precursor lesions, including cysts, compared to conventional endoscopic ultrasound.

Adrenal; Functional DisturbanceRetroperitoneal Sarcoma1 moreEarly recognition of adrenal function deficit in patients undergoing multivisceral surgery including adrenalectomy for primitive retroperitoneal sarcomas

Prognostic Role of Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography Parameters in Stage I Lung...
Stage I Pulmonary AdenocarcinomaThe clinical and derived data from the preoperative computed axial tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) of patients with pathological stage I pulmonary adenocarcinoma will be analyzed retrospectively, classified according to the current pathological classification IASLC / ATS / ERS of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, subjected to surgical treatment in our Operating Unit between August 2006 and July 2011. A follow-up will be performed on the patients enrolled in the study up to the date of death, and in any case no later than October 31, 2019

Immediate Breast Reconstruction With Acellular Dermal Matrix
Breast CancerBreast Carcinoma in Situ2 moreThe aim of this study is to contribute to the knowledge regarding immediate implant-based BR by investigating whether the one-stage technique with ADM is superior to the two-stage expander to implant technique. Primary endpoint in first publication is postoperative complications, secondary endpoint is patient and investigator assessed aesthetic outcome. Primary endpoint in second publication is cost, secondary endpoint is patient reported outcome measures.

Detection of Lung Cancer by Plasma Lipids
Early-Stage Lung CancerThere are no reliable blood-based tests currently available for early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. We try to establish a highly accurate method for detecting early-stage lung cancer by combining machine learning with untargeted and targeted metabolomics .
