Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

This prospective study will investigate the characteristics of mRCC patients at time of CR in comparison with mRCC patients non on CR treated with Sunitinib, in order to provide some answers/ refection leads to the following questions : Can we identify blood specificity at time of CR vs non on CR? Shall we distinguish CR with sunitinib alone from combined CR (sunitinib with local treatment), while in clinical report these 2 cohorts present similar time to recurrence (ALBIGES, ASCO 2010)? Can we identify potential predictive serum biomarkers of recurrence? (With the aim of isolating blood biomarker that can help on treatment discontinuation decision?)

Detection of mutation / specific polymorphism of the EVER/TMC6 and/or EVER/TMC8 gen.

the value of serum procalcitonin in differentiation between bacterial infection and non infectious inflammation in febrile HCC patients following locoeregional treatment for HCC.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer world-wide. It is particularly prevalent in Asia, and its occurrence is highest in areas where hepatitis B is prevalent, indicating a possible causal relationship. Follow up of high-risk populations such as chronic hepatitis patients and early diagnosis of transitions from chronic hepatitis to HCC would improve cure rates. In most cases HCC is detected late resulting in increased mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC and circulated tumor DNA in hepatocellular carcinomas patients.

Correlation between serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen level and tumor volume in Head and Neck Cancer is to determine a correlation between level of serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen and tumor volume in Head and Neck Caner measured by cross-sectional imaging.

Objective: To study the factors that influence the 3- year recurrence of liver carcinoma after surgery To study the related factors affecting recurrence of liver carcinoma after surgery

Patients with non-surgical or renal cell carcinoma that has spread who are starting treatment for the first time with Yervoy and Opdivo in the real world

Diagnosis of melanoma involves physical examination of the lesion with many dermatologists adjunctively employing dermoscopes. The rate of misdiagnosis of melanoma remains significant, along with a high rate of referral to biopsy. Elucid Labs (Waterloo, Ontario) has developed a novel handheld, digital dermoscope with accompanying visualization and analysis software - the Artificial Intelligence Dermatology Assistant (AIDA™). Apart from collecting conventional demoscopic images, AIDA also collects images at various spectral bands. The aim of this study is to understand and quantify the value of this novel adjunctive information for dermatologists diagnosing atypical skin lesions.

This study is a post-marketing observational study of lenvatinib in participants with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary objective of this study is assessment of risk factors for hepatic encephalopathy.

Sexual health is one of the relevant parameters for assesing the quality of life. Improvement sexual and emotional function improves quality of life scores and depression or anxiety in curative phase. The purpose of the study is to assess the quality of sexual life of postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer in couples and to establish links with overall quality of life and the quality of the relationship.
