Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The aim of this study is to determine the utility of renal ultrasonography (US) in the detection of abdominal recurrences after definitive therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and compare the detection rate to that of cross-sectional imaging.

This study investigates the diagnostic value of PET/MRI for cervical lymph node metastases from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

The purpose of this observational study is to determine patients' and professionals' preferences for the characteristics (attributes) of the treatment for Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Spain and Portugal.

To determine the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as a second-line imaging modality after gadoxetate-enhanced MRI (Gd-EOB-MRI) for identifying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among at-risks observations.

This study aims at estimating the proportion of patients diagnosed with locoregional renal cell carcinoma who are at high risk for recurrence following nephrectomy, describe referral patterns, and characterize treatment in this population. Outcomes including estimation of the incidence of recurrence and disease-free interval following nephrectomy will be reported overall and among the subgroup off patients receiving adjuvant systemic therapy with sunitinib following nephrectomy.

In patients with hgepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumoral thrombosis (PVTT), Sorafenib represents the treatment of choice but more recently, trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 has been also proposed. A considerable percentage of such patients are not only able to achieve stability of the disease, but also to obtain a complete radiological response (CR). The possibility of achieving a CR might allow these patients to be listed for liver transplantation (LT), in order to cure not only the cancer but also the underlying cirrhosis that generated it.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can present itself in many forms (size, number of lesions) for the treatment of which a therapeutic panel can be elaborated and layered. If a curative treatment cannot be considered in case of an HCC classified in an intermediate stage, a Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) can be proposed. In case of a partial response or the treatment of some lesions of a multifocal HCC, a combined treatment by stereotaxic radiotherapy (CK), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) may be initiated in accordance with a decision of the multidisciplinary consultation meeting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of HCC receiving MWA, RFA or CK after downstaging with TACE.

Patients with non-metastatic unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

The primary purpose of this non-interventional, multinational study is to assess the feasibility of assessing PD-L1 protein expression on cytological samples as a surrogate for histological samples obtained from participants with any stage of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

All consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis, with clinical and imaging features suggestive of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) attending the Department of Hepatology, Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) from February 2017 to December 2018 will be evaluated for inclusion.Based on the previous years data of HCC patients admitted to ILBS. Cirrhotic patients aged 18-70 years, with HCC proven by typical radiological features of arterial enhancement and delayed wash-out, on one or both of dynamic Computerized Tomographic or dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), as per updated American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) guidelines (details in appendix1). Age and gender matched patients with cirrhosis, but without HCC, seen during the same study period will serve as controls. Patient characteristics, etiology of cirrhosis, and liver function parameters will be noted. Investigator will stage the included patients as per the Barcelona Cancer of Liver Cancer (BCLC) criteria (details in appendix1). Investigator will then estimate Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) and cfDNA in peripheral blood samples of the patients and controls.
