Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms"

To evaluate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules using fine needle aspiration.

To evaluate the efficacy of multi-modality magnetic resonance quantitative parameters in evaluating the treatment effects of high-grade gliomas, and to provide new biomarkers for the establishment of new diagnostic criteria for the identification of true and pseudoprogression of high-grade gliomas.

Over the past two decades, fast track surgery, also known as "enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)" has been initiated and developed in colorectal surgery by Kehlet. The program is rapidly gaining popularity due to the significant benefits demonstrated in lowering complication rates and reducing hospital stay and costs. The benefits demonstrated in colorectal surgery by randomized trials and meta-analyses reduced pain, morbidity and hospital stay. Data in gastrectomy however, is scarce. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomies with two different perioperative approaches, the traditional and the ERAS approach in a setting of a randomised controlled trial.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common type of chronic leukemia, accounting for approximately 40% of all leukemias and mainly affecting older individuals. As it has a highly variable clinical course, identification of molecular and biological prognostic markers has provided new insights into the risk stratification of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

To determine whether peripheral blood flow cytometry can reduce or replace invasive bone marrow examinations in patients with slow growing lymphomas.

Longitudinal prospective study on primary debulking surgery including bowel resection in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients using Caiman® technology

Multicentric, international, web-based prospective documentation of the indications and results of Pressurized Aerosol Chemotherapy (so-called PIPAC or PITAC) for treating malignant pleural and peritoneal diseases. Indication is decided by the treating physician. There are no predefined inclusion or exclusion criteria.

An observational study of a prospective, analytical, monocentric cohort which does not modify the patient care because the phenotyping of the dihydropyrimidine déshydrogénase DPD (lymphocyte activity) is already carried out in routine hospital. The analysis will be based on clinical, radiological and biological criteria.

Although the diagnosis and therapy of HCC have being improved, the poor prognosis still remains. To reduce the mortality and improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and therapy, it is important to detect the protein biomarkers which are associated with HCC tumor progression and may be useful as potential diagnosis or therapeutic targets. SMP30 (senescence marker protein 30)(serum regucalcin), which we have previously identified from Guangxi HCC cDNA expression library by the SEREX approach, is one of the hepatocellular carcinoma associated antigens [4] Serum antibody response to SMP30 in various patients using the methods of Western-blot and ELISA and showed that antibody to SMP30 existed mainly in HCC patients (39.8%), especially in the one with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) negative

By monitoring the serum ctDNA mutational profile using NGS, the present clinical trial aims to elucidate the correlation between the postoperative ctDNA status and the prognosis of patients with early and intermediate-stage colorectal cancer, and explore the possibility of clinical utility of serum ctDNA as a clinical index to predict postoperative relapse.
