Filter by:Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed experimental therapies that involve taking white blood cells from participants' tumor or from their blood, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. Objective: This study will allow participants to be followed for up to 15 years following treatment on an NCI Surgery Branch Gene Therapy Trial as required by the FDA. Eligibility: Participants must have been enrolled on an NCI Surgery Branch Gene Therapy Protocol Design Participants will be followed with a physical examination and blood tests for up to 15 years as required by the FDA
This multicentric prospective study evaluates the role of the margins resection and the ganglionic status when using a quality standard for the resection of adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas.
The purpose of this study is to gather information about the use of an investigational drug called Ramucirumab in adenocarcinomas of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and late toxicity of dose escalated radiation therapy to the pelvic lymph nodes and prostate and seminal vesicles in the treatment of high risk prostate cancer. All eligible patients with high risk prostate cancer who are going to have primary radiation therapy to the pelvic lymph nodes and prostate seminal vesicles with or without concurrent hormonal therapy will be approached regarding study entry.
The main objective of this study is to assess the biological activity of CP-4126 in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. In addition, the correlation between hENT1 (human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1) and overall survival will be studied.
After informed consent, participants will be asked to complete a medical/family history questionnaire and provide a blood sample. Some participants may also be asked to provide a urine sample. Individuals undergoing procedures that require collection of biological samples for clinical purposes may have these samples saved for research purposes. Participants will also be asked for their permission for study investigators to access medical records and/or recontact them for updates to their medical and family histories. Data and biospecimens will be stored for potential future research projects.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new type of IG-IMRT called "ultra-hypofractionated IG-IMRT" where a higher dose of radiation is given to the tumor during each treatment day. Since higher doses of radiation are used each day, the total number of treatment days needed to complete this type of radiation is only five instead of the 45-48 treatments currently used. Treatment takes place every other day and is complete after 2 weeks. If the patient decides to get this treatment, they will come in for 5 treatments. This is different from the 48 treatments they would get normally.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BMS-833923 administered in combination with Cisplatin and Capecitabine as first-line therapy in subjects with inoperable metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal or esophageal adenocarcinomas.
This is a laboratory-based, exploratory study using tissue obtained from our clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to confirm our ability to characterize miR expression in various tissues (proximal and distal esophagus, stomach and duodenum) obtained from the upper gastrointestinal tract in preparation for the study of MiR in patients with Barrett's esophagus and other inflammatory conditions of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
The aim of the study is to assess elastography during EUS examinations of focal pancreatic masses, and to consequently differentiate benign versus malignant pancreatic masses in a prospective multi-center design.
