Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Ewing"

This clinical trial studies genetic biomarkers from saliva samples in patients with Ewing sarcoma. Studying samples of saliva from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer and their relatives may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples collected from patients with Ewing sarcoma and their relatives.

Diagnostic trial to study genetic differences in patients who have Ewing's sarcoma. Genetic testing may help predict how cancer will respond to treatment and allow doctors to plan more effective therapy.

This pilot clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (68Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in finding brain tumors in younger patients. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT imaging, may help find and diagnose brain tumors.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies giving acupuncture in reducing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Pressing and stimulating nerves at an acupuncture point on the inside of the wrist may help control nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.

Anthracycline antibiotics are included in the chemotherapy regimens of approximately 82% of patients with bone cancer and 44% of those with soft tissue sarcoma diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. Impaired cardiac function occurs after treatment with anthracyclines. The frequency of impairment increases with increasing cumulative dose. There are inadequate data regarding the relationship between doxorubicin administration and changes in serum levels of cardiac troponin T (cTn-T) or I (cTn-I), N-terminal (NT) brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), or tissue Doppler imaging parameters. This non-therapeutic study proposes a prospective, single arm study of serial changes in tissue Doppler imaging parameters, cTn-T and NT-BNP in children and adolescents with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors whose planned chemotherapy includes treatment with ≥ 375 mg/m2 of doxorubicin. The proposed study will rigorously evaluate the usefulness of serial determinations of tissue Doppler imaging, cTn-T and NT-BNP for very early identification of anthracycline-related myocardial injury. Demonstration that one or more of these markers identifies subclinical myocardial damage and that biomarker or tissue Doppler imaging parameters exhibit a dose-response relationship with cumulative doxorubicin dose would facilitate intervention trials in patients at risk for anthracycline cardiomyopathy.

The purpose of the study is to assess the functional outcome, quality of life and late sequelae in a representative sample of 600 long-term survivors of Ewing sarcoma and to build a unique clinical and functional data pool of the underlying cohort of 3000 Ewing sarcoma patients with a follow-up of 3 decades.

This is a biological study in patients with advanced Ewing Sarcoma who received, according, clinical practice, temozolomide and irinotecan The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status, will be correlated with the disease clinical data and with the disease response

This is single institution cases series review of histological and clinical data

Extraction of laboratory data from blood tests prior to surgical and chemotherapy and other histological, clinical and instrumental data related to the patient's history from the digitized medical Digitized medical records and analysis of the same. The medical records of 1000 patients from January 1, 2000, until December 31, 2020
