Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in the US and can cause significant adverse effects. Mohs micrographic surgery, the treatment of choice for higher risk BCC, allows for removal of lesions with preservation of healthy tissue. Although the BCC recurrence rate post Mohs surgery is estimated at 1-2%, recent data is lacking to validate this historical measurement. Our purpose is to determine the current recurrence rate of BCC after Mohs surgery.

The purpose of this study is to see if automated telephone monitoring will enhance existing quitline services, such as Alere Wellbeing's Quit For Life program, and help people quit smoking. If successful, this intervention could be incorporated into existing quitline protocols and delivered to millions of people who are trying to quit smoking.

The purpose of this registry is to monitor the rate of recurrence in patients who undergo cancer surgery.

Several studies have shown that patients with acute leukemia have many symptoms during disease These symptoms decrease the quality of life and may even appear or worsen other symptoms such as depression Several studies point to the involvement of supportive care and palliative care is delayed in these patients The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact on the quality of life of an early and standardized involvement of a support / palliative care team for patients with acute leukemia in first relapse compared to a control group .

The correlation between relapses in MS and vitamin D intake will be examined.

Relapse of underlying hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is frequently treated by a second allogeneic HSCT (HSCT2). Choosing an alternative donor is often advocated to maximize chances of a graft versus tumour (GVT) effect. We and others published that success of this strategy when using an alternative human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identical donor is limited, at least when acute leukemia is the underlying disease. The aggressivity of the rapidly proliferating leukemia seems to prevail over GVT effects. A more potent alloimmune response is observed following haploidentical HSCT, especially early after haploidentical HSCT. This might be related to a fast and large expansion of natural killer (NK)-cells. Their alloreactive effect might translate into higher rates of tumor control. On the other hand, non-relapse complications (treatment related mortality, TRM) might be high in advanced relapsed tumour patients with heavy pretreatment and due to delayed immune reconstitution after haploidentical HSCT. The use of a haploidentical donor for HSCT2 following a first allogeneic HSCT from an HLA identical donor has been so far only systematically evaluated in small retrospective single center reports. Thus, in this multicenter study we aim to collect data on the extent to which participating centers employ haploidentical transplantation in the situation of relapse after HSCT2.

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of single immediate intravesical chemotherapy instillation in the prevention of bladder recurrence after diagnostic ureteroscopy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.

The efficacy and safety of panitumumab (Vectibix) in the routine clinical setting will be studied. Specifically, information will be collected on the following as events of interest: skin disorders, interstitial lung disease, infusion reactions, electrolyte abnormalities, and cardiac disorders.

The purpose of the study is to obtain recurrence rates and long-term safety data for patients who had been treating actinic keratoses on the face and scalp with 5 % Imiquimod Cream in a previous study.

Researchers are trying to see if the Nvision® Imaging System (VLE) can accurately determine the risk of recurrent Barrett's esophagus in patients with Barrett's esophagus which have been clear of disease.
