Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to utilize dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to investigate changes in tumor iodine concentration in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Dual-energy computerized tomography could easily replace a standard CT neck with the added benefit of providing functional information that would only be possible with advanced computerized tomography perfusion, magnetic resonance diffusion (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) imaging techniques.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate assessment of surgical margins in the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The investigators will evaluate the pictures obtained by the confocal microscope to determine whether this technique may be useful in the future for helping Mohs surgeons remove cancers. In the future, patients may benefit with shorter surgery and improved care.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of crosslinked quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles incorporated at 1-2% w/w in a commercial soft liner material when compared to the commercial soft liner material. The investigators' results in vitro showed a significant delay in bacterial growth. Therefore, the investigators assume to have the same delay in vivo- on patients.

Malignant cells frequently produce many tumor growth factors to autocidal or endocrinal proliferate growth, metastasis,or angiogenesis about tumor cells. By studying tumor growth factors in hepatocellular carcinoma, one may know the tumor behavior, its relationship with clinical manifestation or invasion, and could be used as diagnostic or prognostic tools.This study aims to study the relationship between tumor growth factors in HCC ant its clinical relevance.

Anatomical resection is the gold standard approach for liver resection in patients with HCC. A new method for that by means of IOUS-guided finger compression has been devised.

The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate in patients with HCC and FTC who underwent lobectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: The necessity of completion thyroidectomy based on the clinicopathological characteristics Prognosis Participants underwent thyroid lobectomy Researchers compared HCC and FTC groups to see the prognosis after lobectomy.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of upgrade to invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis in patients who were diagnosed with DCIS on biopsy and subsequently underwent mastectomy with axillary surgery to establish the need for SLNB. Furthermore, we explored the clinicopathologic features related to the upgrade to invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis.

Tumor recurrence, which occurs in 70% of patients with HCC within 5 years after hepatic resection, is a major cause of post-resection-death. This recurrence can be true recurrence (intrahepatic metastases), which occurs sooner than 2 years later, or it can be due to the development of de-novo tumors at least 2 years later. Despite this high rate of tumor recurrence, no anti-recurrence adjuvant therapies are currently recommended. Imaging phenomics is the systematic, large scale extraction of imaging features for the characterization and classification of disease phenotypes. Combining imaging and tissue phenomics could be a solution to predict HCC recurrence. With the emergence of molecular therapies and immunotherapies, identifying patients with HCC at high risk of post-resection recurrence would help determine additional therapeutic and management strategies in clinical practice.

Retrospective cohort of 10 cases of colonic adenocarcinoma of medullary type, operated between 2000 and 2020 at the University Hospital of Limoges. Collection of relevant data for this rare entity. Subgroup analysis in search of prognostic factors. Comparison of the data from our cohort with those from the literature.

This study aimed to investigate the clinical utility of Annexin A2 serum level as a novel diagnostic marker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to correlate its level with alpha fetoprotein the current marker ofhepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
