Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The objective of this study is to describe the use of resources and the costs associated with controlled or uncontrolled CS in patients with NETs in Spain.

The purpose of this study is to study taste disturbances on patients with myeloma who received high dose melphalan.

To investigate and analyze the status of preoperative frailty and its influencing factors in elderly patients with colorectal cancer using FRALL scale and other related scales, and to explore the correlation between preoperative frailty and early prognosis in elderly patients with colorectal cancer, so as to attract the attention of medical staff to preoperative frailty in this population and provide a preliminary research basis for the study of frailty intervention in these patients.

There is a relation between inflammatory cells and the prognosis of tumors (cancer colon, renal, liver, and urinary bladder). In this study, the investigators will link the Neutrophils to Lymphocytes ratio to the response to intravesical BCG therapy post trans-urethral resection of urinary bladder tumors for the non-invasive urinary bladder tumors.

The Intersphincteric resection (ISR) technique is an alternative for anal preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer. The transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) technique might compensate for the deficiencies of ISR in terms of tumor spillage and poor surgical field exposure. Thus, we decided to perform ISR through a transanal endoscopic approach (taE-ISR), seeking to evaluate the value of this innovative technique in extreme anal preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer.

The incidence of complications after gastrectomy remains high among elderly patients with gastric cancer. The investigators sought to establish and validate a web-based nomorgam for predicting total complications among elderly patients undergoing resection of gastric cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease. The cause of pancreatic cancer is multifactorial. However, around 10% of cases are associated with hereditary predisposition. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, CDKN2A, STK11, DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), PALB2, FANCC, FANCG, and ATM have been associated with an increased risk for pancreatic cancer. The prevalence of these germline mutations varies across populations. For instance, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in high-risk populations can be up to 20%. On the other hand, in unselected patient population, the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations is 5-7%. In Mexican population, data on the prevalence of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer are lacking. Identification of BRCA germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer has implications for treatment. Also, it allows genetic testing and counselling for family members. This study will determine the prevalence of germline mutations associated with hereditary pancreatic cancer using a comprehensive gene panel in an unselected cohort of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Mexico.

Newly diagnosed lymphoma patients were recruited for FDG PET/CT and PET/CT guided bone marrow biopsy. All the patients also underwent routine bone marrow sampling from the posterior superior iliac spine.

Somatostatin receptor antagonists are emerging agents in molecular imaging of neuroendocrine tumors. There're two main antagonist peptides, namely JR11 and LM3, which can be coupled with different chelators, DOTA and NODAGA. Previous studies by our and other groups have revealed the different diagnostic performances of these tracers. However, head-to-head comparison data is still missing. In this study, we aim to evaluate the diagnostic performance of four different antagonists, that is, NODAGA-LM3, DOTA-LM3, and NODAGA-JR11, all labeled with gallium-68.

The purpose of this study is to provide expanded compassionate use access to mobocertinib, in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR in-frame exon 20 insertion mutations and who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
