Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

Researchers are looking to further our knowledge on disease biology and treatment selection for gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to see how useful it is to look for changes and characteristics in your genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells) and the genes within the tumour. These characteristics may be useful in choosing treatments for patients for the future.

This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between uterine cervical adenocarcinoma patients with and without human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The multi-omics profiles include genome wide association study (GWAS), whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. The HPV integration status is interpreted by GWAS. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the role of HPV integration in the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis and prognosis of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide, with more than 1.5 million related deaths annually. Lung cancer is divided into two main groups: Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), with prevalence of ~20% and 80% respectively. NSCLC is further subdivided into adenocarcinoma (the most common), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and large cell carcinoma. Furthermore, each subtype is likely to have specific mutations, which could be targeted for treatment. Medical imaging and radiomics feature extraction represent a candidate alternative to conventional tissue biopsy, a theory that is investigated in this study.

This study will examine the hypothesis that altered esophageal microbiome leads to the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The aims of the project are, firstly the confirmation of relational data on the study cohort, using the methods developed and applied at the laboratory at University of Queensland Diamantina Institute (UQDI). Second, to generate a tissue microarray resource future tissue in-situ validation of microbes. And finally, to develop a biobank of clinical isolates of relevant esophageal microbes for future functional studies.

Observational study of influence of gemcitabine treatment on serological and immunological status and gene expression profile in patients with pancreatic tubular carcinoma after tumor resection.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the perfusion parameters in the normal pancreas and the pancreas cancer (adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumor) are different on perfusion CT to determine whether initial perfusion parameters as well as perfusion parameter change in pancreas adenocarcinoma before and after chemotherapy are different between chemotherapy response group (CR, PR according to RECIST 1.1) and non response group (SD, PD according to RECIST 1.1).

Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) is the spread of microscopic tumour cells into the veins around the tumour. Rectal cancer treatment has improved greatly over recent years. However, it is important for us to learn as much about the tumours as possible in order to develop newer therapies. Current treatments may benefit from new genetic information relating to the cancer. We hope to identify genetic differences in certain types of rectal cancer which will allow future treatments.

Early adenocarcinoma of the lung has an excellent five-year survival after resection. However, its clinical and radiologic presentation is highly variable. Traditional means for preoperative diagnosis such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) and trans-thoracic needle biopsy demonstrate unacceptable false positive and negative rates. Telomere biology is activated aberrantly is most lung cancers but has not been studied in early stages to the best of our knowledge. The objective of this study is to evaluate telomere length and activity with suspected early stage adenocarcinoma of the lung.

to determine the values of imaging and genetic biomarkers for prediction of tumor aggressiveness and prognosis in patient with early stage lung adenocarcinoma to Identify unique copy number alteration in patient with early stage lung adenocarcinoma to evaluate the long-term change of ground-glass nodule combined with lung adenocarcinoma to suggest a guideline for planning an appropriate follow-up examination and management
