Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI/MRI) has been described in recent literature as a highly sensitive and specific modality for the detection of peritoneal metastases (PM). It has been demonstrated to be superior to computed tomography (CT) for patients with known peritoneal disease from colorectal and gynaecological malignancies. However, the literature is scarce on the role of DWI/MRI in patients with pancreatic ductal-adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim of this study is to prospectively assess the added value of whole-body DWI/MRI (WB-DWI/MRI) to CT for detection of PM in the preoperative staging of patients with high-risk PDAC and evaluate how it correlates with intraoperative findings.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and late toxicity of dose escalated radiation therapy to the pelvic lymph nodes and prostate and seminal vesicles in the treatment of high risk prostate cancer. All eligible patients with high risk prostate cancer who are going to have primary radiation therapy to the pelvic lymph nodes and prostate seminal vesicles with or without concurrent hormonal therapy will be approached regarding study entry.

This project intends to include stage IA lung adenocarcinoma patients with CT imaging grboreal lesions; compare the results of lobectomy vs combined subsegmentectomy, and compare perioperative complications, differences in lung function and long-term outcomes between the two groups.

While total hysterectomy without lymph node staging is standard for low- and intermediate-risk endometrial cancer, certain histopathologic factors can necessitate additional interventions. Our study assesses the influence of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy on postoperative decision-making.

The prospective clinical trial "PDA-MAPS - Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma - Microbiome as Predictor of Subtypes" aims to investigate the prognostic and predictive power of the orointestinal and tumoral microbiome in PDAC patients and associate findings with genetic, transcriptional and clinical data, in particular with treatment response.

With CT-perfusion(CTP) it is possible to visualize the enhancement pattern of the tumor. The perfusion CT, interleaved with a routine contrast enhanced CT (CECT) will be performed at diagnosis in all patients (goal: n=125 patients) and at the first follow-up at 3 months in patients treated with systemic therapy (goal: n=50 patients). Also, the histopathology will be collected for resected tumors to perform histopathology analysis. CTP parameters will be correlated to immunohistological findings and clinical outcome. The main goal of the study is to create an AI-assisted method to classify patients with a vascular phenotype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The investigators expect that this phenotype can be used to predict overall survival and chemotherapy response.

A randomized controlled trial, nested within an existing prospective cohort (Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Project; PACAP) according to the 'trials within cohorts' (TwiCs) design in which the effect of a standardized surveillance, with serial tumor marker testing and routine imaging, compared to current non-standardized practice, on overall survival and quality of life in patients with primary resected PDAC is investigated. The most important secondary endpoint is quality of life. Other secondary endpoints are clinical and radiological patterns of PDAC recurrence, the compliance of patients to our standardized follow-up strategy, the impact of a standardized surveillance on (eligibility for) additional treatment, and the tolerance of additional treatment. The need for this clinical trial is emphasized by the the emergence of more potent local and more effective systemic treatments for PDAC recurrence, leading to a rising interest in early diagnosis by a standardized approach to follow-up with routine imaging and serial serum tumor marker testing.

The purpose of this research study is to study a method to detect pancreatic precancer and cancer (ductal adenocarcinoma) using ultrasound technology in those who are at significantly increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer. The LINFU™ Technique is done by analysis of pancreatic fluid collected with the help of ultrasound. This is an investigational way to detect pancreatic precancers and ductal adenocarcinoma.

This was a single-arm, prospective study to investigate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with sintilimab in the second-line treatment of Chinese patients with advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma.

This study was an observational cohort study to investigate the efficacy predictors of fuquinitinib combined with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for third-line treatment and above in Chinese patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
