Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma"

In patients with hgepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumoral thrombosis (PVTT), Sorafenib represents the treatment of choice but more recently, trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 has been also proposed. A considerable percentage of such patients are not only able to achieve stability of the disease, but also to obtain a complete radiological response (CR). The possibility of achieving a CR might allow these patients to be listed for liver transplantation (LT), in order to cure not only the cancer but also the underlying cirrhosis that generated it.

Patients with non-metastatic unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

Forty patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and breast cancer will receive DeltaRex-G intravenously at a dose of 1-4 x 10e11 colony forming units (cfu) or equivalent 0.6-1.8 x 10e10 RV copies per dose one to three times a week. DeltaRex-G may or may not be given with one or more FDA approved cancer therapies/immunotherapies. Based on previous Phase 1/2 US based clinical studies, DeltaRex-G does not suppress the bone marrow or cause serious organ dysfunction, and enhanced immune cell trafficking in tumors may cause the tumors to appear larger or new lesions to appear on CT, PET or MRI. Further, tumor stabilization/regression/remission may occur later during the treatment period. Therefore, DeltaRex-G will be continued regardless of CT, PET or MRI results if the patient has clinical benefit and does not have symptomatic disease progression.

This study investigates the diagnostic value of PET/MRI for cervical lymph node metastases from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

This is an observational retrospective cohort study to determine metachronous peritoneal carcinomatosis in a specific subgroup of colon cancer patients, those with a final pathologic exam corresponding to pT4 tumors. Based on a sample size calculation of 1152 patients, a retrospective review of a three year period of every participant hospitals, 50 in total, of different characteristics, was stablished. Demographic, clinical, operative, histologic and oncologic follow-up variables were recorded.

In this study, we monitored patients with advanced malignant tumors who received anti-PD-1 therapy to observe the characteristic of anti-PD-1 therapy-induced thyroid dysfunction and its correlation with prognosis.

Based on the follow-up data of patients who underwent hepatectomy for HBV-related HCC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. patients who met the enrollment criteria were screened for tumor recurrence and survival for statistical analysis to understand the prognosis of patients and analyze the risk factors affecting their prognosis.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is a rare cancer with an increasing incidence. It represents 2.5% of digestive cancers and occurs more frequently in immunocompromised persons, in particular HIV positive. It is a cancer that develops essentially locally, with only 5% of metastases at diagnosis. The reference treatment for forms deemed localized after clinico-bio-radiological pre-therapeutic evaluation is radiochemotherapy allowing a 5-year survival rate of about 80%. However, up to 30% of patients fail radiochemotherapy. Failure is defined as persistent disease (non response or progression in 10 to 15% of patients) or relapse (local or metastatic in 10 to 15% of patients). Salvage surgery by abdominoperineal amputation is indicated in this case after elimination of the metastatic character with an overall survival rate at 5 years varying from 23 to 69%. This complex and cumbersome surgery is burdened with significant postoperative morbidity with alteration of the quality of life. Investigators would like to perform a retrospective and prospective study in the Paris Saint-Joseph hospital group to evaluate the interest of abdominoperineal amputation in case of failure of radiochemotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.

The purpose of this observational study is to determine patients' and professionals' preferences for the characteristics (attributes) of the treatment for Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Spain and Portugal.

Ovarian carcinoma has poor prognosis and new therapeutic strategies are required. Many patients with ovarian carcinoma showed resistance to chemotherapy. Cleaved FasL is known for induced atypical response when is binding to Fas such as avoiding apoptosis and inducing cell motility.
