Active clinical trials for "Soft Tissue Neoplasms"

The main purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of TAEST16001（TCR Affinity Enhancing Specific T cell Therapy）in the multi-line treatment failed advanced solid tumors except non small cell lung cancer,including liver cancer,gastric cancer,esophageal cancer,bone and soft tissue tumors,breast cancer, bladder carcinoma,prostate carcinoma,thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer and so on. The patients must meet the two criteria: human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-A*0201+ and NY-ESO-1 positive cells≥25% by immunohistochemistry.

This pilot trial studies how well photoacoustic imaging works in diagnosing changes in tumors in participants with breast cancer, sarcoma, skin cancer, or soft tissue malignancy and healthy volunteers. Photoacoustic imaging is a low-risk imaging method that provides information about the oxygenation of tissues using a combination of light and ultrasound techniques. Photoacoustic imaging uses a signal from hemoglobin to provide information on blood flow and oxygen levels, and it may be helpful in determining changes in tumors after chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

The third space robotic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (TS-RECS) combines the endoscopic techniques and the merits of Da Vinci surgical robot, such as flexible and precise instruments, tremors filtering system and a 3-D surgical view. TS-RECS takes full advantage of the methodology of the third space, making it possible to dissect gastric GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) entirely without the damage of mucosal layer. Here, this study preliminarily assessed the feasibility, safety and effectivity of the novel hybrid operation.

This is a single-institution pilot feasibility trial in which 10 subjects will be enrolled. The primary objectives are is to explore the feasibility of delivering radiotherapy for malignant skin and superficial soft tissue tumors using DaRT (Alpha Tau Medical, Tel Aviv, Israel), a form of interstitial brachytherapy which uses a novel radioisotope delivery system, as well as to determine the frequency and severity of acute adverse events. Secondary objectives will include assessments of radiotherapy-related adverse events, tumor response, radiation safety, stability of device placement, and associations with quality of life.

This is a pilot study to investigate the performance of MR-guided Laser Induced Thermal Therapy (LITT) in the treatment of liver tumors.

Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and at other institutions study normal and cancer cells. To study these cells we need to have human tissue, body fluids, and blood. The patient will be having or have had a procedure to remove tissue. The doctors would like to use some of this tissue. The doctors will use it for laboratory studies on the causes, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sarcoma, gastrointestinal or other intra-abdominal cancers. They will only use extra tissue left over after all needed testing has been done. They would also like to study components of the immune blood cells and blood serum (the liquid portion of the blood). In some patients they will take a blood sample before the tissue or body fluid is removed, usually at the same time that other routine pre-procedure blood tests are drawn. If thet need more blood, it will be drawn when the patient is seeing the doctor anyway. We will not draw more than 50cc (4-5 tablespoons) at any one time. With the patient's permission, thet may also send a small portion of the blood and/or a sample of the tissue to a repository at the National Cancer Institute. This will be used to identify special proteins in the blood or tissue that may be useful for diagnosing cancer. Information about the treatment and the response to treatment may be linked to the tissue specimens obtained. This information may be important for the research studies that will be done on the tissue, body fluid and blood specimens. All of this information will be kept in strictest confidence; they will use it only for biomedical research. The patient's name will not be used in any report.

Patients with Grade I soft tissue sarcomas or benign, non-metastasizing invasive soft tissue tumors will receive wide local excision and be prospectively randomized as to either receive or not receive radiation therapy.

In this study the investigators treat PM oligometastatic patients with SBRT. Our objective is to evaluate rate of local control of treated lesions in patients treated with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for lung metastases from STS.

The purpose of this research is to study a medication called liposomal bupivacaine (EXPAREL®). Study doctors want to see if it is safe, if it can reduce pain after surgery, and the study doctor want to study its use after the removal a soft tissue tumor called a sarcoma

There are 2 phases in this study: Phase 1 (dose escalation) and Phase 2 (dose expansion). The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of lenvatinib and Xeloda (capecitabine) that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The goal of Phase 2 of this study is to learn if the dose of lenvatinib and capecitabine found in Phase 1 can help to control advanced cancer. The safety of this drug combination will be studied in both phases of the study.
