Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

China is a high-risk area of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Although Chinese population accounts for 18.4% of the global population, the number of new HCC patients accounting for about half of the global, which seriously threatens the lives and health of the people. The investigators establish multi-center, retrospective research methods, collecting the data of HCC treatment with system treatment (ICIs and TKIs) plus or without local treatment in the last 3 years, comprehensive assessment of their efficacy and safety, explore whether the efficacy of system treatment combination local treatment showed better effect compared with system or local monotherapy. Our study will find a new way to improve the prognosis of HCC patients.

This is a phase 2 trial investigating the effect and safety of pembrolizumab and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma failed at least one line of systemic treatment. The primary efficacy hypotheses are that the objective response rate (ORR) of combination of PDT and pembrolizumab could be improved compared with pembrolizumab for both primary and metastatic lesions.

Cohort study to assess the impact of ctDNA detection in the follow-up and management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by TACE

Multi-center, single arm, prospective trial to estimate safety, feasibility, technical outcomes, and clinical outcomes of percutaneous cryoablation with neo-adjuvant trans-arterial embolization of the tumor in patients with T1b renal cell carcinoma. Continuous safety monitoring will be performed with stopping rules for patient accrual or study continuation.

RCC represents around 3% of all cancers, with the highest incidence occurring in Western countries . Within the several RCC risk factors identified, smoking, obesity, and hypertension are most strongly associated with RCC . The EUA guidelines recommend PN for patients with T1 tumors, as PN preserved kidney function better after surgery, thereby potentially lowering the risk of development of cardiovascular disorders as well as improving overall survival(OS) for PN compared to RN, there is very limited evidence on the optimal surgical treatment for patients with larger renal masses (T2) . Currently, the upper limit of PN indications remains undefined and is determined by an individual surgeon's expertise and preference. The degree of variability in the choice between PN and RN for a given tumor increases with tumor size. Surgeons committed to nephron-sparing are likely to expand the indications of PN, while those concerned with increased morbidity and doubtful of the clinical relevance of a moderate decrease in renal function are likely to perform RN, regardless of tumor size .

This is a single arm, multi-center Phase II Study. This clinical study is an investigator-initiated clinical trial（IIT). The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chemoradiationtherapy combined with QL1706 (anti-CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibody) in patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of artificial liver support system treatment for immune checkpoint inhibitors related liver failure in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Recently, the positive results of the Imbrave 150 study (randomized study comparing Atezolizumab+Bevacizumab versus Sorafenib) prompted investigators to redefine their management strategy for advanced HCC by proposing the combination Atezolizumab+ Bevacizumab as first-line treatment in these patients. Identifying new predictive biomarkers of response is essential to optimize the identification of patients who will benefit from immunotherapy. Glypican-3 (GPC-3) is a cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to the family of heparan sulfate chain proteoglycan that is directly implicated in several cancers and more particularly in HCC. GPC-3 overexpression in serum predicts a poor prognosis for patients with HCC and is associated with early tumor recurrence. Through this study, the investigators want to determine whether the concentration of circulating GPC-3 alone, or in combination with other biomarkers used in current practice (PIVKA, AFP) could predict the response to treatment with Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab and OS.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and HCC is more frequently observed in Asia, including South Korea. As HCC is often accompanied by chronic hepatitis B or C virus and liver cirrhosis, treatment of HCC consider not only the tumor but also various factors such as liver function and the patient's performance status. Local treatment and surgery are possible in the early stages of HCC. However, it has a high recurrence rate even after curative surgeries due to underlying cirrhosis and the tumor microenvironment. Although several studies have investigated gene mutations and differences in treatment response in advanced HCC through next-generation sequencing (NGS), studies on transcriptome analysis of advanced HCC through RNA-sequencing are hard to find, with a need for future research into precise classification and clinical significance of HCC based on multi-omics data.

The oropharyngeal areas mainly comprises of the tonsil, base tongue (BOT), soft palate and the posterior pharyngeal wall. Traditionally, surgical resection of oropharyngeal cancers (OPC) was a standard procedure, often performed through mutilating incisions with mandibulotomies, rendering significant post-operative functional deficits. Over the past 2 decades, there has been a major shift in treatment strategy with a majority of these cancers now being treated by primary concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) with a trend towards organ and function preservation.
