Randomized Study of Spinal Anesthesia Compared With Traditional Epidural Anesthesia Concerning Peroperative...

Pre- and Postoperative AnalgesiaSpinal Anesthesia1 more

The study aim to study whether spinal anesthesia (using: bupivacain, morfin och klonidin) can be better than epidural anesthesia during and after open surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Per- and postoperative pain after spinal anesthesia with klonidin can be reduced and, thus, shorten the hospital stay and rehabilitation of the patients.

Patient Reported Outcome After Nephron Sparing Treatment of Small Renal Tumours

Renal Cell CarcinomaQuality of Life

The present study is an observational study designed to assess and compare clinical outcome and quality of life after nephron sparing treatment of small renal tumors. Partial nephrectomy, where the tumor is being be surgically removed, has traditionally been the preferred nephron sparing treatment for small renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Cryoablation was introduced 20 years ago as a treatment option for patients with RCC with a high surgical risk. Previously, this group of patients had no available treatment. Cryoablation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy the cancer. In recent years, indications for cryoablation of RCC has extended. Cryoablation is now offered as a curative treatment, also including patients without severe comorbidity. Retrospective studies imply that patients with RCC have lower quality of life compared to other cancers and that choice of treatment and remaining healthy renal tissue have a correlation with quality of life. Knowledge about the patient perspective is crucial in relation to delivering the highest quality of care in the healthcare system. Exploring quality of life through patient reported outcome is one way of exploring the patient perspective. In this prospective study the investigators aim to assess clinical outcome and quality of life after partial nephrectomy and cryoablation. Results are expected to generate evidence-based knowledge essential in treatment decisions for RCC globally.

Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Clinical Assay in Finding Kidney Cancer

Healthy SubjectMetastatic Renal Cell Cancer4 more

This pilot research trial studies the use of the Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Clinical Assay in finding and monitoring kidney cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine from patients with kidney cancer in the laboratory may aid doctors in the early detection of cancer, monitor tumor response to therapy, detect the presence of occult spreading of disease, and identify early return of disease.

Clinical Stage 0 Esophageal Adenocarcinoma AJCC v8Clinical Stage 0 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma AJCC v8170 more

This study examines at-home monitoring of patient-generated phsyiologic health data and patient-reported outcomes. Patient-generated health data using at-home monitoring devices and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. This trial may show whether at-home monitoring programs can improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Renal Cancers

Renal Cancer

Stereotactic radiotherapy is a technique that allows the delivery of a high dose of radiation over few fractions (3-6) with great precision. It thus allows "tumor ablation" and optimal preservation of healthy tissues. Initially developed in small-sized (<5 cm) lung cancers this technique it gives results very close and or even equivalent to those of surgery. Stereotactic radiotherapy of brain metastases of renal cancers has shown that high doses of radiation allows local control in 90 to 98% of cases. A study conducted in Sweden (Wersall et al.) underline the interest to develop stereotactic radiotherapy in primary renal tumors. In Cleveland (USA) two phase I studies are already underway. The investigators propose to develop a phase I study for tumors of less than 4 cm. As found in lung cancers, stereotactic radiotherapy can provide a non-invasive, painless and rapid (4 to 5 fractions) method for the treatment of renal cancers with a high rate of local control. The primary objective is to define the maximal tolerated dose for one fraction in stereotactic mode of renal tumors ≤ 4 cm in length using an a four-step dose increase: Step 1: 4 x 8 Gy. Step 2: 5 x 8 Gy. Step 3: 4 x 10 Gy. Step 4: 4 x 12 Gy. The patients will be followed during treatment with evaluation of acute toxicities before each session, then at 15 days, 6 weeks, 3 months, 9 months, 12 months, and then every 6 months for a total duration of 5 years after treatment.

A Study Evaluating Tarceva in Combination With Avastin Versus Avastin Alone in Treating Metastatic...

Renal Cell CarcinomaMetastases

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the potential benefit of combining two targeted therapies (an anti-EGF inhibitor along with an anti-VEGF inhibitor). The goal will be to determine whether the addition of Erlotinib to Avastin will improve the benefit in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with regard to time to progression, response rate, duration of response, and survival compared with Avastin alone. Since Avastin has been shown to be active in renal cancer, the goal will be to assess whether this activity can be enhanced with Erlotinib.
