Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

The use of nasal high flow in patients undergoing oesophagectomy is a novel technique that has not been previously studied. Nasal high flow will be delivered postoperatively to patients undergoing oesophagectomy in a tertiary cancer referral centre. This single-centre cohort study will evaluate the safety of using nasal high flow in oesophagectomy patients. Physiological parameters, adverse events and clinical outcome will be recorded in consecutive patients undergoing oesophagogastric surgery. This study will challenge the hypothesis that the use of nasal high-flow will lower the rates of breathing complications such as pneumonia thereby reducing the demands on intensive care, shortening hospital stay and improving patient quality of life. The results will inform the design of a larger multicentre clinical trial comparing nasal high flow to conventional methods by facilitating sample size calculation.

The study aimed to elucidate predictive immune related biomarker to the responsiveness to the PD-L1 blockade and evaluate the dynamics of immune cells in peripheral blood from NSCLC patients during atezolizumab treatment.

The investigators will obtain a cohort of patients from multiple large cancer centers in China and try to unravel the efficacy of "radiotherapy combined with EGFR-TKI", which may provide some evidences for the treatment of stage III-inoperable NSCLC.

Evaluation of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy via Axillo-breast Approach in Thyroid Nodules regarding safety and cosmetic outcomes

After the initial monitoring period during hospitalization and isolation, patients with recent transplants are regularly monitored in monthly consultations but are still fragile, immunosuppressed and undergoing many treatments. The implementation of an outpatient assistance program for transplant patients should be feasible and allow for the improvement in medical-psycho-social care for the patients during this fragile and risky period, improve the satisfaction and quality of life for these transplant patients and assist in their socio-professional and familial reintegration.

The Sponsor has developed the Skin Fluorescent Imaging (SFI) system, an in vivo imaging modality, for the purpose of providing physicians with insight into the biological changes occurring during tissue remodeling in a nevus.

Observational case-control study in a retrospective cohort of patients with stage II or III colorectal cancer undergoing scheduled surgery.

The investigators propose utilizing a simple telemedical protocol to allow patients to substitute the first post-operative visit with a remote survey that includes essential post-operative history, vision measurement, and photographs, all of which can be provided using a personal computer, tablet, or smart phone. The investigators have selected for this purpose a subset of oculoplastic procedures involving the eyelid and lacrimal system that have well-reported low rates of serious complications, since high-risk procedures will likely always require close, in-person care. The investigators hypothesize that telemedicine follow-up for the first post-operative week after low-risk oculoplastic surgery will decrease the time burden on patients without compromising their satisfaction or increase the risk of late post-operative complications.

This study will evaluate IgNGS at different time points in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients homogeneously treated (RCHOP) to address its correlation with conventional techniques (i.e., positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging (PET/CT) and outcome.

The purpose of the study is the identification of the efficacy of MDA Test to Differentiate of Benign and Malignant Pulmonary Nodules. In this study, the investigators are going to validate the efficacy of the MDA test for diagnosing early lung cancer by comparing results of the pre-surgery MDA test with the post-surgery pathology.
