Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

This study will evaluate the impact InheRET™, an online family history gathering and risk assessment reporting tool, has on facilitating National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) guideline compliant referrals for cancer genetic counseling/genetic evaluation by decreasing and/or removing the barriers of 1) time-consuming in-clinic 3-generation family history collection, and 2) interpretation of the family and personal history in light of current NCCN guidelines. Identifying individuals at increased risk for cancer has been shown to decrease morbidity and mortality in multiple clinical settings. Investigators hypothesize that InheRET will prove to be accurate, efficient, and accessible, and that its use will improve identification of individuals at risk for inherited susceptibility to cancer. The investigators propose also that using this tool will result in a reduction of inappropriate genetic counseling referrals and reduce unnecessary genetic testing in both primary and specialty care settings. InheRET will allow health care providers to focus resources on individuals at higher risk for developing cancer.

This is an Expanded Access Program (EAP) that will give the participants access to the drug naxitamab before it is approved by the FDA. Naxitamab will be combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Participants in this study will have high-risk neuroblastoma that either went away completely after treatment (complete remission) or has come back (relapsed/refractory). Researchers think the combination of naxitamab and GM-CSF will be effective because naxitamab and GM-CSF strengthen the immune system's response to cancer cells in different ways. Naxitamab is an antibody, like the proteins made by the immune system to protect the body from harm. Naxitamab helps the cells of the immune system to find and attack cancer cells. GM-CSF is a protein that strengthens the immune system by increasing the number of immune cells called granulocytes. Granulocytes are white blood cells that fight off cancer cells. The combination of naxitamab and GM-CSF is a type of immunotherapy.

We investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.

The present study aimed to review the characteristics and outcome of early-onset rectal cancer in a subset of Egyptian patients aged 40 years or less. Since the previous studies assessed this point of research in CRC overall, the investigators opted to focus upon rectal cancer alone since it may represent a separate category, distinct from colon cancer, in this age group with regards to presentation, tumor behavior, and outcome.

To provide early treatment access and evaluate the safety of melflufen and dexamethasone in patients with triple class refractory (TCR) multiple myeloma (MM).

EASL and mRECIST criteria differ from each other in terms of the number of target lesions (all versus < = 2) and calculation method (bidimensional versus unidimensional). Therefore, the investigators aimed to retrospectively analyze and compare the clinical outcomes among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with different modalities of therapy according to the BCLC classification, and detect the possible predictors of post-treatment outcomes.

The transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block(SPGB) is administered to patients with facial or head and neck pain. In the transnasal approach, the drip and topical methods are frequently used. We compared facial temperatures and VAS after transnasal SPGB.

The aim of the study is to know the percentage of ABL mutations in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia that relapsed or are refractory to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors measured with a myeloid mutations panel by NGS.

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor of infancy, characterized by its clinical history. Absent at birth or present under the form of a premonitory mark, they display a rapid proliferative phase starting in the first weeks of life. Then, after a plateau phase, they slowly involute. However, a subtype of IH named "abortive", "minimal or arrested growth", "reticular" or "telangiectatic" hemangioma differs from typical IH because it doesn't have a proliferative component, or only a minimal one. This subtype of hemangioma has been recently described and data are lacking regarding its proportion among infantile hemangioma and its differences with "classic" infantile hemangioma. The aim of this study is to estimate the proportion of abortive hemangioma among infantile hemangioma. Also, the investigators aim to compare the clinical characteristics of "classic" infantile hemangiomas and abortive hemangiomas. Lastly, investigators wished to study the evolution of abortive hemangioma.

Even after adequate TME with grade III mesorectal grading, local recurrence remains a possible event. Several studies investigated different parameters and assessed their predictive power in regards to local recurrence after TME. These parameters included a variety of patient-related, tumor-related, and treatment-related factors. A recent meta-analysis reviewed the current literature for the predictors of local recurrence after TME for rectal cancer and developed a prognostic scoring system, the PREDICT score. The present study aimed to validate the PREDICT scoring system by applying it to a prospective cohort of patients with rectal cancer who underwent curative TME in three
