Gastric Cancer StageLymph Node MetastasisWe initially selected a total of 1128 patients with primary gastric cancer who presented at Shandong Provincial Hospital between January 2018 and October 2022, and retrospectively collected their clinical and pathological data. And retrospectively analyzed preoperative baseline characteristics, preoperative laboratory tests, and postoperative pathological results for these patients

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the OropharynxCarcinomas of Unknown Primary Site4 moreBased on the evidence summarized in the introduction, the clinician hypothesize that the detection of the presence and expression of HPV-DNA, certain miRNAs, and a certain mutational profile in the tissues and biological fluids of these patients, may have important prognostic and diagnostic value not only in HPV-related OPSCCs but also in HPV+ occult T. Accordingly, this study aims to aim to better characterize their potential as biomarkers and to detect the possibility of their their use to implement the sensitivity and specificity of radiological methodologies (PET-CT and MRI), already in use in clinical practice, for monitoring disease progression in this specific subgroup. Finally, by using the collected material to generate organoids and Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX), the study also aims to identify possible new molecular drugs, which could solve the problem of resistance to radiochemotherapy.

the Dissection of Lymph Node Posterior to Right Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve for Papillary Thyroid...
Lymph Node MetastasesThis study was completed in two stages. In the first stage, 2000 participants were enrolled according to the criteria. Following the principle of informed consent and voluntary consent of patients, the standard operation was "right or bilateral thyroidectomy + isthmus resection + right area VI lymph node dissection + left area VI lymph node dissection + lateral neck lymph node dissection". The age of participants, the size of right thyroid tumors, the invasion of the capsule and the number of lateral neck lymph node metastasis were counted to validate and improve the predictive model of lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve in papillary thyroid cancer (Y=-0.029×age+0.771×tumor size+0.660×capsular invasion+1.331×right lateral lymph node metastasis-1.687, Y ≥0.16 means right recurrent laryngeal nerve posterior lymph node metastasis). In the second stage, 2000 participants assessed by the model without posterior right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the principle of informed consent and voluntary. The right recurrent laryngeal nerve posterior lymph nodes were not dissected in experimental group, while the right recurrent laryngeal nerve posterior lymph nodes were routinely dissected in control group. Through long-term follow-up and comparison of RFS and OS between the two groups, the investigators can scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of the "prediction model of lymph node posterior to right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma", and seek evidence for accurate treatment of lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid papillary carcinoma.

XELOX Combined With Fruquintinib and Sintilimab Regimen Conversion Therapy for Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal...
Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal Junction AdenocarcinomaGastric cancer is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality among malignant tumors in China, and less than 30% of patients can be cured by surgery. Liver metastasis, retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis are the most common metastatic sites of gastric cancer, which are also the important causes of death. Improve the conversion of oligonucleotides transfer patients resection rate, prolonged progression-free survival of these patients, is an important direction to improve survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer; This study was a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical study. We plan to treat patients with gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with liver and/or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis only with XELOX regimen + fruquinitinib + sintilimab for 4-6 cycles before surgery/ablation conversion therapy to achieve tumor-free status as far as possible. To explore the value of conversion therapy in patients with intrahepatic oligometastasis of gastric cancer.
Radio Guided Lymph Node Dissection in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Patients
Prostate CancerLymph Node MetastasesThe study is a prospective, single arm phase I/II study. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of 111In-PSMA I&T radio guided surgery in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who are highly suspected of having one or more pelvic lymph node metastases based on pre-operative imaging. Patients with prostate cancer who have a high risk of lymph node metastases based on PSMA PET/CT and scheduled for robot-assisted PLND (with or without prostatectomy) will be recruited. Eligible patients will receive an additional ferumoxtran-10 enhanced MRI to complement pre-operative imaging. Twenty-four hours before surgery, patients will receive the radiolabelled PSMA tracer. Pelvic Lymph node dissections are carried out according to standard of care procedures. During surgery, the surgeon will be provided with a gamma-probe to detect PSMA expressing lymph nodes in vivo. Dissected samples will be systematically assessed on tracer accumulation using the gamma-probe ex vivo. After surgery, the samples will be scanned in the small animal SPECT/CT and 7T-MRI. After scanning, samples will be presented to pathologists for pathological analysis according to standard of care including staining for PSMA expression. At 3 months after surgery, patients will undergo a PSMA-PET/CT. Up until one year after surgery patients will be followed according to standard of care-guidelines by 3-monthly serum-PSA measurements.
The Role of Micrometastasis and Isolated Tumor Cells (ITCs) in Endometrial and Cervical Cancer....
Endometrial CancerCervical Cancer9 moreThe role of small-volume lymph node disease (ITC and micro metastases) among patients with endometrial or cervical cancer submitted to sentinel node (SLN) procedure is not clearly defined. This study was designed to create a dataset of patients with lymph nodal disease. Data on type and volume of lymph nodal disease, therapeutic choices and oncological outcomes (DFS, OS, recurrence rate) will be collected and analyzed. This will allow to define the groups of patients who may need or for whom it can be avoided any adjuvant treatment on the basis of lymph node status.

Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma RecurrentA randomized controlled, open label, phase II clinical trial is designed to target patients with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with high risk of lymph node metastasis as evaluated by our previously established radiomics model, which has low postoperative recurrence-free survival. In this study, we aim to compare the prognosis of ICC patients who undergo liver resection (LR) following preoperative oxaliplatin and gemcitabine (GEMOX) neoadjuvant therapy (experimental arm) versus LR alone (control arm).
PET/CT and Lymph Node Mapping in Finding Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients With High-Risk Endometrial...
Endometrial Clear Cell AdenocarcinomaEndometrial Mixed Adenocarcinoma3 moreThis clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and lymph node mapping in finding lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer that is at high risk of spreading. A PET/CT scan is a procedure that combines the pictures from a PET scan and a CT scan, which are taken at the same time from the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. Lymph node mapping uses a radioactive dye, called indocyanine green solution, to identify lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells. PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping may be better ways than surgery to identify cancer in the lymph nodes.
