Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study to assess the ability of the Cytuity device to collect cell samples from the fallopian tube that can be evaluated for the presence or absence of malignancy.

The investigators will investigate the impact of different biometric parameters (Body mass index, sarcopenia, lean muscle mass, hand-grip strength, gait speed, fat composition) on the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing liver resections. Major and minor liver resections will be considered as well as open and minimally invasive techniques. Benign and malignant indications will be included. Patients characteristics and perioperative variables will be considered for analysis. Short-term outcomes will be evaluated focusing on 90-days morbidity and mortality and readmission rate.

This is a multicentre, prospective, study of EGFR )Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) mutation status in advanced NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer)patients (locally advanced and/or metastatic disease) with adenocarcinoma histology proposed to be conducted at 15 sites from different geographical regions across India. The study targets to enrol 268 patients over a period of 6 months.

The therapeutic arsenal of metastatic melanoma has changed considerably over the past 10 years. The treatment of metastatic melanoma is now based on immunotherapy and targeted therapies, while the place of conventional chemotherapy becomes more restricted. Targeted therapies are indicated for BRAF mutated melanomas. The mutation BRAF leads activation of MAP Kinases pathway and the proliferation of melanoma cell in the body . About 50% of metastatic melanoma is BRAF mutated. The most frequent mutation is the V600E. The targeted therapy by anti BRAF and anti MEK allows the double bloking of the MAP Kinases pathway. This treatment is more efficient than that of the anti BRAF alone. The association of anti BRAF and anti MEK have a global survival global rate of 41% at the 1 year, against 9% for the anti BRAF . In 2014, a program of extended access to the association of anti BRAF and anti MEK (dabrafenib and trametinib) started in many french hospitals (Protocol Mekinist, Novartis laboratory). Patients who were included in this program and followed in Poitiers Hospital, had frequent abnormalities of albumin level without any sign of undernutrition. Hypoabuminemia is a poor prognosis factor described in many cancers, including metastatic melanoma. The only prognostic factor in metastatic melanoma is the rate of LDH . The level of albumin and its prognostic impact have not been studied for patients with a metastatic melanoma and treated by anti BRAF and anti MEK. The objective of this studie was to analyze the variations of albumin level in patients with unresecable stage IIIc or stage IV melanoma treated in our Center by dabrafenib and trametinib

Retrospective observational comparative and multicentric study of the microenvironment of HPV-induced head and neck cancers, with comparison between West Indies and Metropolitan populations, and therapeutic implications. This assessment is carried out by in situ multiparametric study with multiple immunofluorescence staining for cluster of differentiation 3, cluster of differentiation 4, cluster of differentiation 8, PROGRAMMED DEATH-1, PROGRAMMED DEATH-L1, PROGRAMMED DEATH-L2, cytokeratin and cluster of differentiation 68 and automated reading. HPV genotypes will be characterized. Learning these techniques will allow me to promote them in West Indies on my way back, and they may be applicable to other HPV-induced cancers.

The purpose of this study is to determine if adult survivors of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) enrolled on the SJLife (St. Jude Life) protocol are at increased risk for postural control deficits compared to individuals with no cancer history. All participants will be assessed for their ability to maintain an upright posture, walk at their usual speed, and to tandem walk, all while engaged in a cognitive task. Primary Objective To compare changes in postural control in ALL survivors to changes in postural control in healthy controls, matched on age- and sex- in simple versus complex standing and walking activities (complex: standing or walking with added cognitive load). Secondary Objective To identify demographic and performance related risk factors for decreased postural control during complex standing or walking activities in survivors and controls and to evaluate associations between treatment and the changes in postural control during complex activities among survivors.

In this study, we will observe the long-term survival rate, overall mortality rate, gastric cancer specific mortality rate, and the incidence rate of metachronous cancer in patients who received subtotal gastrectomy, with or without Helicobacter pylori eradication.

To compare the Idylla microsatellite instability test versus mismatch repair immunohistochemistry (IHC) in gastric adenocarcinoma.

An explorative study of the patients' experience of participating at a group consultation, together with other patients with newly diagnosed colon or rectal cancer

The aim of our study was to compare the daily living activities with a performance-based protocol in lung cancer patients and healthy controls.
