Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

Diagnostic study which evaluates the level of PSMA expression in patients with locally advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic ACC/SDC of ≥18 years old with 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT imaging in order to establish whether these patients are eligible for 177Lu-PSMA therapy

To develope stratification treatment for the patients who have locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Experimental group patients were treated individually according to the response status after induction chemotherapy, receiving chemoradiotherapy or surgery. Thus to achieve a better survival rate and a higher larynx-preservation rate as well as a lower treatment related toxicity rate compared with standard treatment.

This pilot study purpose of this study is to describe peripheral circulating immune cell profiles at baseline and change on treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma.

study assigned into three groups, Group I was the control group operated by total thyroidectomy and retrospectively followed, where the other two groups Operated by Total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection. Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) was the main issue of the study and calculated as the time from date of surgery to date of relapse or the most recent follow-up contact that patient was known as relapse-free, Study exclusively studied the outcome and advantage of central neck dissection

This phase I trial collects blood samples to investigate the prevalence of changes in genes (genetic mutations) in solid tumor patient populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic Embedded Cancer Center at St. Vincent's Riverside. This may help doctors better understand and/or treat others who have genetic mutations.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy with poor prognosis worldwide. The asymptomatic of early-stage HCC may lead most patients diagnosed at advanced stages. This highlights the importance of HCC screening among high-risk populations to detect HCC at early stages and achieve better survival. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of HCC in China, but the utilization of HCC screening is suboptimal among patients with HBV infection. Currently, there are no-theory based intervention, to our knowledge, has been reported to improve HCC screening decision-making and uptake among patients with HBV infection . Therefore, based on our previous systematic review, the current study has proposed a nurse-led decision counseling program to improve decision-making and uptake of HCC screening among patients with HBV infection in mainland China. Participants in intervention group will receive nurse-led decision counseling. The intervention components include 40-minute education and tailored information regarding HCC screening. At the second week, decision support will be provided through 30-minute telephone call. At the third week, another telephone call (20 minutes) will be provided to help participants identify and address barriers to HCC screening. Participants in control group will receive usual care. After the intervention and at 3-month follow-up, the study will collect data related to HCC screening uptake rates. Findings are paramount to promote informed choice in HCC screening and early HCC detection to improve survival outcomes among patients with HBV infection.

To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of zero ischemia laparoscopic radio frequency ablation assisted enucleation of T1a renal cell carcinoma in comparison with the conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

To compare SBDECT with standard Triple Phase Multi-Detector CT (TPMDCT) in renal mass evaluation in terms of appropriateness of treatment received after diagnosis. To determine SBDECT diagnostic accuracy.

The main question of this study is if and when VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) expression in the tumor is upregulated during chemoradiation and if bevacizumab inhibits subsequent vessel growth in the tumor. Therefore the first aim of this study is to identify the time point of induction of VEGF in the tumor tissue of esophagus carcinoma during chemoradiation (after 1,2,3 or 4 weeks of chemoradiation). If we identify increased expression of VEGF at a certain time point, our second aim is to determine if we can inhibit the subsequent tumor vessel growth by administration of bevacizumab.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the diagnostic value of Xenetix-CT perfusion for the discrimination between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and poorly/moderately differentiated HCC, in histo-pathologically proven HCC, and with the aim to cover the entire liver.
