Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This study compares gadolinium contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) to standard ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) screening and surveillance in subjects with liver cirrhosis.

The aim of this study is to make up for this gap by performing a dynamic scan of 18F-FDG PET/CT on newly diagnosed patients with liver cancer. The lesions and/or metastases are performed for biopsy. Pathological and genomic studies are performed. The differences between tumor images and tissues are compared at the same time. 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging is explored in primary liver cancer metastases for the diagnostic value.

This is an exploratory clinical trial to assess the potential of 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scans in patients with locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This open label, nontherapeutic trial will test the correlation of 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab immunoPET/CT with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with RCC. There will be two cohorts, one made up of patients with localized RCC who will undergo 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab PET/CT prior to nephrectomy and a second cohort of patients with metastatic RCC who will undergo 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab PET/CT prior to treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

We adopted the prospective cohort study to compare the safety and efficacy of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) + Lenvatinib + Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1) Antibody in the treatment of advanced unresectable liver cancer.The purposes of our study include：1. Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of TACE combined with Lenvatinib and PD-1 antibody versus TACE alone in the conversion-resection of patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.2. Secondary objective: To compare the long-term outcome of TACE combined with Lenvatinib and PD-1 antibody versus TACE alone for patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

This phase IV trial studies the effect of radiofrequency ablation in treating patients with benign or low risk thyroid nodule. Radiofrequency ablation uses a needle to deliver a high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells by heating them. The goal of this research study is to learn if ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation can provide the same treatment result as standard surgical removal of the thyroid nodule, small primary thyroid, or thyroid cancers that have come back. Researchers also want to learn if the procedure can be less invasive and perhaps provide a better recovery response than surgery.

This phase IIb trial studies the combined effect of prolonged nightly fasting and metformin hydrochloride extended release in decreasing breast tumor cell proliferation and other biomarkers of breast cancer. Preventing invasive breast cancer or DCIS. Metformin is widely used to treat type II diabetes and is associated with a decreased risk of cancer and death in diabetic individuals. Intermittent fasting may protect cancer patients from the toxic effects of chemotherapy agents without causing chronic weight loss. The combination of intermittent fasting and metformin may reduce breast cancer growth and may be used in women at risk for breast cancer or other cancers associated with being overweight.

This study collects stool, blood, and tumor tissue samples from patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer after receiving Sintilimab and chemotherapy to explore the efficacy and intestinal microbes of chemotherapy combined with neoadjuvant immunotherapy for locally advanced operable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma The main purpose is the relationship between its metabolites, and it will also explore the changes of intestinal flora diversity and metabolites before and after esophageal squamous cell carcinoma chemotherapy combined with immune neoadjuvant therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether zirconium Zr 89 crefmirlimab berdoxam (other names 89Zr-crefmirlimab berdoxam, 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab, 89Zr-Df-IAB22M2C) PET/CT can predict the response of advanced or metastatic melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, or non-small cell lung cancer tumors to immuno-oncology therapy.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the second most common tumor in urology. Considering its origination from kidney, an organ with intense physiological uptake and excretion of 68Ga-PSMA, this study aims to evaluate the uptake of 68Ga-PSMA in RCC compared to 18F-FDG in the same patients, and assess the feasibility of 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 treatment in patients with the advanced RCC.

This clinical trial collects biospecimen samples to create a personalized ctDNA test to guide treatment for patients with gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the material that carries all the information about how a living thing will work and function. Everyone is born with the same DNA in all our cells throughout our body. Sometimes, some of the cells in the body develop abnormalities in the DNA that cause those cells to grow abnormally and uncontrollably. Cancer occurs when there is abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. The DNA in cancer cells is therefore different from the DNA someone is born with. The Signatera ctDNA assay is a laboratory test that takes tumor (cancer) tissue and evaluates it for unique tumor DNA. This evaluation is used to create a report (otherwise known as an assay) personalized to each person's cancer. The personalized assay creates a personalized blood test to detect the level of abnormal DNA from the cancer that may be circulating in the body. Once this personalized blood assay is designed, it may be used to monitor a person's blood for the presence of ctDNA, which will indicate the presence or absence of cancer over time, even after treatment.
