Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to see how people's diets, other aspects of their lifestyles affect their chances of getting gallbladder carcinoma in China. This survey will enroll 100 patients who have had gallbladder carcinoma，as well as controls with gallstones. The investigators will compare these two groups of subjects to see what factors may lead to gallbladder carcinoma.

We propose a radiomics approach to identify prognostic biomarkers of HCC and provide patients with some reasonable advice for their therapies.

A multi-centre observational, non-interventional study is to dynamically monitor the changes of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in late stage NSCLC patients under Gefitinib treatment.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the tenth leading cancers in Taiwan and investigating its biomarker is important for understanding the mechanism of its pathogenesis.

The investigators study the VEGF signaling in HCC cell lines and its mechanism in HCC growth, proliferation and apoptosis.

The purpose of this study is to verify the discriminatory value of previously identified salivary transcriptome and proteome markers for oral squamous cell cancer in an intended use population of patients with oral lesions suspicious for cancer.

Many studies previously showed the significant association between urinary arsenic profiles and urothelial carcinoma (UC) risk and observed the increased UC risk in people with lower plasma folate and higher homocysteine than those with higher plasma folate and lower homocysteine. The investigators would expect to explore the interactions among global DNA methylation, one-carbon metabolic pathway factors, urinary arsenic profiles and UC.

According to the BCLC guidelines, surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma complicating cirrhosis is restricted to patients with preserved liver function, single nodule without vascular invasion and with hepatic venous gradient below 10 mmHg. However, other guideline treatment, especially from eastern countries demonstrated that surgical resection is safe and feasible and provides better survival than the treatment recommended by the BCLC system for patients with similar stage. The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of HVPG on short and long-term outcomes in HCC patients who undergo liver resection.

The primary aim of this non interventional study is to assess the independent prognostic role on overall survival of primary tumour 18F-FDG uptake value (SUVmax) measured on 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) in patients with non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancers treated with curative intent, taking into account the other conventional prognostic factors (performance status, age, sex, disease stage).

The goal of this behavioral research study is to learn if certain sexual behaviors increase the risk for developing head and neck cancers associated with a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV-16). Knowing this information could help doctors better teach patients about avoiding certain risk factors, which may help to prevent the disease.
