Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) followed by Sorafenib with TACE alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze the value of 3D ultrasound perfusion imaging for treatment planning, the prediction of therapy success, and to monitor the treatment response in patients with a primary or metastatic liver tumor undergoing radiation treatment.

Patients with locally advanced suqamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region receive a hypoxia scan either by magnetic resonance tomography, computed tomography or fluoromisonidazole (FMISO)-PET-CT. Patients presenting with hypoxia are randomized into standard therapy consisting of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with 70 Gy plus either 5-fluorouracil/mitomycin C or cisplatinum (Arm A) or a dose escalation of 10% (77Gy) to the hypoxic volume applied via simultaneous integrated boost in addition to the standard treatment (Arm B).

The aim of this study is to find some genetic factors in predicting the sensibility of preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal carcinoma.

This is a randomized parallel control trial to evaluate whether radical loco-regional Radiotherapy can prolong survival time of initial untreated metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The propose of this study is to identification of a group of specific amplitude-modulated frequencies of low intensity electromagnetic fields that is associated with biofeedback upon exposure to in patients with hepatitis B carries with or without hepatocellular carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel neoadjuvant regimen for invasive breast carcinoma by using the MD Anderson residual cancer burden score.To prospectively evaluate the utility of the PET scan to guide the neoadjuvant treatment and the utility of the Oncotype test as a stratifier for treatment decisons in ER+/Her2- patients. To evaluate the clinical anti-tumor activity of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy in ER+/Her2 negative patients. To evaluate the prognostic factors associated associated with pathological response as measured by the residual cancer burden tool.

This is a study to evaluate the primovist as a new contrast agent useful to diagnostic of hepatocellular carcinoma

This trial studies how well fluciclovine 18F PET/CT imaging works in assessing hormone-naive men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bone. Fluciclovine 18F is a radioactive drug used to measure tumor growth. PET/CT uses x-rays to take pictures inside the body. Comparing results of fluciclovine 18F PET/CT imaging may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.
