Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Single-institution retrospective analysis for predictive factors of prostate cancer patients presenting with isolated or limited lymph node (LN) recurrence (1-3 lesions) on F-Ccholine PET-CT (CholPET) treated with SBRT between January 2010 and July 2015.

Measurement of Free PSA ratio in patients after definitive radical treatment for prostate cancer, and assessment of whether post-treatment free PSA ratio can function as a biomarker for advanced disease in prostate cancer patients.

This screening study will identify HLA molecular subtype positive and tumor antigen target(s) positive patients who may be eligible for enrollment into Immatics clinical studies. This screening study is intended for patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid cancers. No treatment intervention will occur as part of this screening study.

The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for recurrence depending on complex combinations of plausible risk factors, in particular mesh, mesh fixation, hernia size and hernia type. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).

D2 gastrectomy is standard treatment of early gastric cancer in Japan but in other countries there is still some discord, especially in Europe and North America. Although the quantity of metastasis cancer in lymph node defines survival regardless of which country the patient is treated, the total number of lymph nodes harvested is an important factor to predict accurate staging and/or D2 gastrectomy. Both of the number total lymph nodes and the metastasis lymph node status in gastric cancer are important factors to decide each prognosis. This study evaluated the correlation between total lymph nodes retrieved and metastasis node by lymph node ratio (LNR) status to determine the recurrence rate after curative resection of gastric

10 years of follow-up with SF-36 global (Quality of Life issues), GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) and two reflux specific questionnaires.

Development of mole was not associated with segregation of mutated NLRP7 allele in the haploid oocyte. We hypothesize NLRP7 is a maternal factor involved in regulating early embryo development or embryo-uterine interaction. In the proposed study, we seek to identify novel genetic variants and mutations of NLRP7 in women who experienced RM/HM. Genetic association study and haplotype analysis are performed to test assocation between NLRP7 gene and female reproductive performance. Immunohistochemical staining, RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis are used to investigate expression pattern of NLRP7 in endometrium and placenta. Two approaches are used to characterize functional significance of genetic variants/mutations. The first approach will be based on mutagenesis and the second approach will be based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Results obtained from the proposed study will provide novel insight into mechanism of embryo development and implantation.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a clinical problem affecting 1-5% of couples of reproductive age. The contribution of thrombophilia to RPL is disputed. This controversy is partly due to low sensitivity of the genetic variants currently used to evaluate hereditary thrombophilia: the Leiden mutation (identified as rs6025) in the coagulation factor 5 (F5L) gene and mutation G20210A (identified as rs1799963) in the prothrombin (PT) gene. Our objective was to determine whether a wider algorithm that includes clinic and genetic variants associated with thrombophilia could be more useful in the prediction for RPL than FVL and PT alone.

Here, the investigators will develop a clinicopathomic assay from biomarkers obtained from digital pathologies of resected whole-mount oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC and OPSCC) specimens with the goal of administering personalized novel image-guided therapies immediately after primary surgical management in OCSCC and OPSCC patients. The primary aim is to determine the association between clinicopathomic biomarkers and LRR. The secondary aim is to develop a clinicopathomic risk score (assay) such that a decision-support tool can be used by physicians for measuring the benefit of additional therapies (i.e. conventional chemotherapy +/- radiation or administering dose-escalated chemoradiation) in the adjuvant setting to reduce LRR rates.
