Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

The purpose of this clinical trial is to Investigate whether the administration of HIPEC with Cisplatin (75 milligrams per square meter of body surface) after surgical cytoreduction in women with ovarian, tubal or primary peritoneal carcinoma increased disease-free survival period compared with patients without HIPEC treatment.

Evaluation of clinical outcome and economical aspects in the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

The study will follow up patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal, ovarian, gastric, pancreatic cancers and primary peritoneal tumors and undergoing a diagnostic laparoscopy / laparotomy, a PIPAC as single dose or repeated every 6 weeks. The Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Overall Survival (OS) and the Quality of Life will be assessed before every PIPAC. Biopsies of the peritoneal carcinomatosis and blood (plasma and serum) are collected with every PIPAC intervention to follow up and to document the individual success or progress of the patients. The advice of the tumor board is mandatory to confirm the indication for local chemotherapy (PIPAC).

Tomotherapy is a new radiation planning and delivery technology which may allow for delivery of higher radiation doses with less damage to normal tissues. The investigators aim to compare the treatment efficacy and quality of life between tomotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical decisions of Watson artificial intelligence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study aims to investigate the role of a mobile health app, Outcomes4Me, in the navigation of care for people with breast cancer.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, accounting for the second leading cause of cancer death in China.Surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma is the most important means for long-term survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, including hepatectomy and liver transplantation.Chronic liver disease caused by hepatitis B infection is the main pathogenic factor of liver cancer in China. Meanwhile, nearly 80% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are complicated with cirrhosis, and the incidence of thrombocytopenia in patients with cirrhosis is reported to be as high as 78%.Many previous studies have found that thrombocytopenia is closely related to perioperative outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avatripopa in the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing elective hepatectomy and its effect on perioperative outcome.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma is believed to be a more treatable malignancy. Poor prognosis is associated with age, grade and depth of myometrial invasion, lymph node status, tumor size, invasion of lymphovascular space and involvement of the lower uterine segment. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping can be considered as an al¬ternative to standard lymphadenectomy in the patients with apparently uterine-confined disease and to assess whether they have metastatic pelvic lymph nodes. Randomized trials, a Cochrane Database Systematic Review, and population-based surgical studies support minimally invasive techniques due to a lower rate of surgical site infection, ve¬nous thromboembolism, reduced hospitalisation, and lower cost of care. This is a one arm clinical trial pilot study that focuses on the intraoperative and early postoperative complications of laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with endometrial carcinoma and assess the feasibility and the diagnostic reliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is the seventh most frequently diagnosed cancers and the sixth leading causes of cancer death worldwide . It is one of the most common malignancy in China, with the third highest morbidity and mortality rate. More than 90% of patients with EC in China have esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery is currently widely used strategy for locally advanced surgical EC. At present, conventional imaging methods have certain defects (focus only on the volume change) in the evaluation of the efficacy of nCRT. Whereas functional imaging can more comprehensively reflect the biological and microstructural characterization of tumors. The changes of these aspects of tumors can be observed earlier than volumetric changes of tumors. The normal metabolism of the body is the basis for ensuring life activities. Due to the increased energy demand and proliferation of tumor tissue in patients with cancer, the metabolism of patients is different from that of normal person. Thus, the metabolic alterations seen in cancer cells have emerged as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Previous metabolomic studies have demonstrated various metabolic alterations in patients with ESCC. Many metabolites have been found to be promising diagnostic, staging or prognostic biomarkers for ESCC. However, there are few studies on metabolic markers on the chemoradiation sensitivity of esophageal cancer. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the value of functional imaging parameters and metabolic markers in assessing and predicting pathological response in patients who underwent nCRT for ESCC.

Local control rates of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are increasing, but 15% of patients still have local recurrence within 5 years after initial treatment. Systematic treatment based on chemotherapy has become the mainstream approach for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma which is intolerant to local therapy. we sought to find an efficient chemotherapy regimen with high tolerance according to the characteristics of chemotherapy drugs, that is, to explore the efficacy and safety of platinum plus 5-fluorouracil with continuous intravenous infusion at a low dose for a long term.
