Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with positive circumstantial resection margin.

This is a pilot study with a single arm in a single center assessing safety and efficacy of combination therapy of TACE and ablation and durvalumab. This study will be conducted in selected patients with intermediate stage HCC not amenable to curative therapy.

This phase II trial investigates how well oral cryotherapy plus acupressure and acupuncture compared with oral cryotherapy alone work in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Acupressure is the application of pressure or localized massage to specific sites on the body to control symptoms such as pain or nausea. Acupuncture is the technique of inserting thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to control pain and other symptoms. Cryotherapy uses cold temperature such as oral ice chips to prevent abnormally increased pain sensation. Giving oral cryotherapy with acupressure and acupuncture may work better in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy from oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer compared to oral cryotherapy alone.

This exploratory study investigates how an imaging technique called 68Ga-FAPi-46 PET/CT can determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPi-46) accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with cancer. Because some cancers take up 68Ga-FAPi-46 it can be seen with PET. FAP stands for Fibroblast Activation Protein. FAP is produced by cells that surround tumors (cancer associated fibroblasts). The function of FAP is not well understood but imaging studies have shown that FAP can be detected with FAPI PET/CT. Imaging FAP with FAPI PET/CT may in the future provide additional information about various cancers.

This study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the induction chemotherapy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy（CCRT）combined with toripalimab and endostar treatment, in comparison with the induction chemotherapy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy（CCRT）, in treating locally advanced high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide plus camrelizumab as second-line therapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with PD-1 blockade

Due to the biological characteristics and liver anatomical characteristics of liver cancer, liver cancer cells easily invade the vascular system, especially the portal venous system, forming portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) , and its incidence is reported to be 44.0% ~ 62.2%. Once PVTT occurs in patients with liver cancer, the disease develops rapidly, and intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis, portal hypertension, jaundice, and abdominal effusion can occur in a short time with an average survival time of 2.7 months. PVTT is one of the major adverse factors for the prognosis of liver cancer and occupies an important weight influence in the clinical staging system of liver cancer. In some hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with PVTT and selective resectability, surgery versus non-surgery can lead to better survival of patients. A retrospective analysis showed that neoadjuvant radiotherapy can reduce the extent of invasion of PVTT and improve postoperative survival in some HCC patients. Another prospective study showed that neoadjuvant radiotherapy could significantly improve the overall survival of resectable liver cancer with PVTT, and neoadjuvant radiotherapy could improve the 2-year survival of patients from 9.4% to 27.4% 27.4%, with an effective response of 20.7%. This study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with tislelizumab combined with IMRT for resectable liver cancer with PVTT.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant immune combined chemotherapy or radiochemotherapy compared with traditional neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

This study explores the potential values of a new blood test approach to detect measurable residual disease or early coming back of cancer (recurrence)/cancer growing, spreading, or getting worse (progression) in patients with liver cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The development of novel cancer biomarkers for liver cancer may help in clinical decision making and lead to improvements in patient outcomes by facilitating prediction of the response to specific treatments, improved monitoring of patients on treatment, and better prognostication of patient outcomes, thus improving stratification for clinical trials.

The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Blocking the immune checkpoint is one of the effective strategies of tumor immunotherapy. Thus, we sought to find a proper chemotherapy regimen combined with PD-1 antibody JS001.
