Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

Liver metastases are present in 15-25% of patients with colorectal cancer at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor, which is defined as synchronous liver metastases. Treatment for the potential cure of this disease includes surgical resection of both the primary tumor and liver metastases. The liver first approach was described by Mentha for patients with asymptomatic rectal tumors with with initially unresectable or borderline resectable liver metastases. There is little data in the scientific literature on how many patients scheduled for this strategy complete both surgeries and/or undergo the full chemo/radiation therapy.

Molecular alterations in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) genes have been associated with clinical benefit from chemotherapy and/or Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Therefore, the performance of tumor molecular profiling is currently recommended by international guidelines at initial diagnosis, among other reasons, for the modification of the treatment plan. The investigators' hypothesis was that tumor molecular profiling reveals additional parameters that can improve the predictive and prognostic role of the mere presence of HRR gene mutations. The study aimed to investigate the prognostic and predictive role of clonality of pathogenic variants in HRR genes and/or concurrent pathogenic variants in other clinically relevant genes.

Intraorbital epidermoid and dermoid cyst (DC) has been reported in the literature rarely. The current study evaluates clinicopathologic, radiologic, and management of intraorbital DC cases over ten years.

Brief Summary: This is a multicentric, retrospective, real-world study to investigate the surgical outcomes of minimally invasive surgery compared with open surgery for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma (PHC), with the perioperative characteristics and long-term overall survival being compared. We aimed to find out whether the minimally invasive surgery is safe or feasible for PHC. And we also want to find out patients with what kind of characteristic can be benefit from the minimally invasive surgery compared with the open approach.

To provide early access (i.e., before marketing authorisation) to tremelimumab 300 mg IV administered once on Day 1 of Cycle 1 plus durvalumab 1500 mg IV followed by durvalumab 1500 mg IV Q4W monotherapy in patients with unresectable HCC.

We aim to perform a register-based, observational cohort study to investigate whether it is safe to delay start of treatment with a curative intention after a colorectal cancer diagnosis. Our hypothesis is that delaying start of treatment until 4-8 weeks is as safe as starting treatment within four weeks after a colorectal cancer diagnosis.

Introduction Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most prevalent approaches to tackle obesity and its co-morbidities. The main complication following the LSG is Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), with most patients developing worsening symptoms of GERD, and a small number progressing to Barrett's esophagus. This retrospective analysis aims to assess the rate of GERD pre- and post- LSG as well as the rate of progression to Barrett's. Methods Data was collected from 1639 patients. 92 patients fit our inclusion criteria. Data was then analyzed and summarized against similar literature

There is no consensus on which procedure is the ideal surgical method in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (SPD). The study aimed to retrospectively screen the cases that had undergone surgical treatment for SPD in the last 15 years in four different tertiary Stage hospitals and analyze the most frequently used surgical treatment method and its results.

This is an open-label, single-arm, non-randomized, intermediate-sized expanded access study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of PVSRIPO delivered via intratumoral infusion, in subjects with glioblastoma (GBM) who are ineligible to participate in clinical study with PVSRIPO that is currently open to enrollment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnosis accuracy between of wet suction (WS) technique and standard negative pressure (SNP) technique in EUS-FNB by 22G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy（FNB）device for solid pancreatic lesions.
