Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

This study aims to investigate the utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation sequencing in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is blood disorder characterized by the detection of a monoclonal paraprotein in serum or urine, which is often associated with the presence of clonal plasma cells (PCs) mainly in the bone marrow (BM) .The zinc-finger protein 217 (ZNF217) is an oncogenic protein that plays deleterious functions in various human cancers. The ZNF217 gene is located at the 20q13 chromosomal region, which is frequently amplified in human tumors .

Study Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcome of laparoendoscopic two-sites myomectomy (LETS-M) and compare the difference between an experienced surgeon and three trainees. Design: A retrospective study. Setting: A university hospital and a tertiary care center. Patients: 204 women underwent LETS-M

Background: Centralization has improved the outcome of complex operations including cancer surgery. Moreover, the implementation of multidisciplinary team conferences (MDT) has ameliorated the decision making, but the impact on patient outcome is controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the outcome of pancreatic surgery in the setting of centralization and upfront multidisciplinary decision making.

Screening at-risk subjects with low-dose computed tomography (CT) efficiently reduces lung cancer specific mortality. However screening efficiency relies on the at-risk population's criteria definition and its participation rate to the screening. In France, there are concerns regarding the participation rates to national cancer screening that are quite low (around 50% and 32% of the eligible population for breast cancer and colorectal cancer respectively). Before organizing national lung cancer screening it is then crucial to determine the factors impacting the at-risk subjects willingness to participate in lung cancer screening. The Lyon University Hospital is the second biggest hospital in France with more than 23,000 employees distributed among more than 160 professions representing every level of education or working conditions. Its population is heterogeneous and wide enough to perform a prevalence study assessing the willingness to participate among the at-risk population. ILYAD is a prospective study performed by anonymous questionnaires that will be submitted to the 23,000 employees of the Lyon University Hospital. The study main objective is to evaluate the at-risk population presence in the Lyon University Hospital population, as defined by NELSON criteria and selection criteria for lung cancer screening (PLCOm2012 scoring), and its willingness to participate to a lung-cancer screening with low-dose CT. This might help further efficient national lung cancer screening campaign organization.

Depending on its dimensions, it is difficult to predict if a congenital nevi of the lower limb can be surgically removed by a unique simple procedure or by a complex procedure (expander, skin graft etc..), with a good result. This study retrospectively reviewed the practice of our team of surgeons depending on the size of the naevus to reveal a dimension threshold that can be used in the future to help to choose between a simple or a complex procedure.

Cohort study enrolled high-risk Hodgkin Lymphoma patients in first relapse after induction therapy followed after remission either with a systemic imaging-based surveillance (Imaging cohort) or with standard clinical-based surveillance (standard cohort).

The European VALHUDES study is a Clinical Performance /Diagnostic Test Accuracy Study that aims to evaluate whether HPV testing with new assays performed on self-samples, collected by means of a vaginal and a urine collection device is as accurate to detect cervical pre-cancer as on cliniciantaken cervical samples.

To detect comparatively the extent to which physical impairments are observed in patients with lung cancer awaiting lung surgery, comparing exercise capacity, pulmonary functions, muscle strength, physical activity, dyspnea, fatigue and quality of life between the patients with lung cancer and healthy individuals was aimed in current study.

In this retrospective study, the investigators determined the frequency of hyponatremia in small cell lung cancer and the prognosis. 126 (27%) of 466 patients were hyponatremic. Hyponatremia could not be corrected in 50.8% (n=64) of hyponatremic patients. Survival was found to be better in the group of whom hyponatremia was corrected.
