The Swedish Study of Liver Transplantation for Non-resectable Colorectal Cancer Metastases

Colorectal CancerLiver Metastases1 more

To evaluate if the addition of liver transplantation primarily utilizing liver grafts from extended criteria donors not utilized for approved indications to conventional treatment of non-resectable/ non-abatable colorectal liver metastases (CLM) increases overall survival compared to best alternative care.

FLASH Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Symptomatic Bone Metastases in the Thorax

Bone Metastases in the Thorax

The purpose of this study is to assess toxicities of FLASH radiotherapy treatment and pain relief in subjects with painful thoracic bone metastases. FLASH radiotherapy is radiation treatment delivered at ultra-high dose rates compared to conventional radiation treatment.

Concurrent Fluorescence and Sonographically Guided Eradication of Contrast-enhancing Gliomas and...

GliomaMalignant1 more

Objective of the study is to determine whether combined use of intraoperative fluorescence with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and sonography can achieve higher rate of gross total resection of contrast-enhancing gliomas and brain metastases compared to intraoperative fluorescence with 5-ALA alone.

Cavity Boost Radiation Therapy vs. Observation in Cerebral Metastases After Complete Surgical Resection...

Cerebral MetastasesSurgery

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a local fractionated radiation therapy achieves a better local tumor control after complete surgical metastases resection at 6 month as compared to observation alone. Further it should be evaluated if cognitive functioning and quality of life is similar in both groups.

Evaluation of Clinical Decision Support System for Brain Metastasis Using Brain MR Images

Brain Metastases

BT-M01 is a software that has been pre-learned based on a brain metastasis detection model using brain MR images, and clinical decision support system for brain metastasis by automatically analyzing brain MR images by assisting the medical team. The specific aims of this study are to evaluate efficacy of BT-M01 for brain metastasis compared to the sensitivity and false positive rates of radiologists group.

Second and Third Look Laparoscopy in pT4 Colon Cancer Patients for Early Detection of Peritoneal...

Colorectal CancerPeritoneal Metastases

The COLOPEC II multicentre randomized trial will investigate the role of second and third look laparoscopy to detect metachronous peritoneal metastases at a clinically occult stage during the follow-up of pT4 colon cancer patients. It is expected that detection of PM at a clinically occult stage will translate into survival benefit, due to higher percentage of patients eligible for curative intent treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Detection and Metabolic Characterization in DOPA PET/CT of Brain Metastases

Brain MetastasesMRI

About 20 to 30% of patients treated for cancer will have brain metastases. These brain metastases are found more frequently in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer or melanoma. The prognosis of these patients is unfavorable but prolonged survival can be obtained with the local and systemic treatments currently available. Brain MRI is the gold standard for evaluating brain metastases but has limitations in therapeutic evaluation, partially offset by PET imaging of amino acid metabolism. Our work aims to compare the performance of PET-DOPA with standard MRI for the detection of brain metastases (≥ 5mm) in lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma; and to characterize these lesions using dynamic acquisitions obtained with a digital PET camera with high spatial resolution. Having better knowledge of the metabolic characteristics of newly discovered brain metastases, the objective of subsequent studies will be to better assess the per- or post-therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and the various systemic therapies available (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy).

FAZA PETMRI Gastro-Oesophageal Study

Metastasized Gastro-Oesophageal Cancer

This is a single arm, pilot study of PET/MRI scan with radiotracer 18F-Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (FAZA) before and after standard of care platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with metastasized Gastro-Oesophageal Cancer. Gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) accounted for 2,3000 deaths in Canada in 2017 and majority of the patients present or develop metastatic disease following diagnosis. These patients are treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. There is currently no biomarker that can be used to predict the therapy responses. Additionally, patients that do not respond to the chemotherapy often deteriorate rapidly and are unable to receive second line therapy. Intratumoral hypoxia (low oxygen concentration) is a signature feature of aggressive and resistant tumour phenotype. Accurately predicting hypoxia in solid tumours offers an innovative and rational pradigm for predicting therapy responses. PET/MRI is an imaging technique combining the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. A radiotracer called 18F-Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (FAZA) is used as a type of "dye" in the PET/MRI scan. The primary goal of the study is to validate FAZA PET/MRI as a biomarker of hyupoxia in setting of gastro-oesophageal carcinoma. Patients with GEC will undergo FAZA PET/MRI scan before and after the standard of care chemotherapy. This would be correlated with clinical outcome in patients with metastatic GEC that have different responses to chemotherapy. Ultimately, we hope that the use FAZA PET/MRI in the study can help select the most effective treatment method for advanced GEC to extend life and improve quality of life while minimizing toxicity and healthcare costs. The study subjects' clinical management will not be changed based on the PET-MR scan within the trial.
