Filter by:At present, the treatment of advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer is a research hotspot in the academic community. In Asia, Siewert type II and type III are the main types of advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer. The current consensus in the academic community for the treatment of this part of the tumor is based on the principles of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, of which the value of neoadjuvant therapy in this part of the tumor has been paid more and more attention by scholars. However, there is no highly recognized neoadjuvant therapy. The current situation will promote the development of advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer to accurate preoperative staging, more accurate population screening, more accurate targets and molecular markers. Immunotherapy is a promising application in oncology. Several PD1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies are approved by FDA for the clinical treatment of melanoma and other tumors. Previous clinical studies have shown that PD1/PD-L1 has limited efficacy in digestive tract tumors. However, on ASCO in 2020, Asian analysis of KEYNOTE-062 study showed that in HER-2 negative advanced gastric cancer with PD-1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥ 1 and CPS ≥ 10, the OS of PD-1 inhibitor treatment was superior to that of chemotherapy group, with 24-month OS rate (CPS ≥ 1, 45% VS 23%, CPS ≥ 10, 54% VS 27%). Meanwhile, the results of PACIFIC study phase III clinical trial showed that the 3-year OS of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody combined with radiotherapy in advanced unresectable lung cancer was as high as 57%, which is expected to completely rewrite its clinical practice. Immunotherapy is promising in cancer therapy. This study intends to use immunotherapy combined with SOX (S-1 + Oxaliplatin) as a neoadjuvant therapy for advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Phase 1b/2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
This phase II trial studies the effects of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab maintenance therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenvatinib and pembrolizumab may be effective as a maintenance therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.
This clinical trial studies the effects of a diet and physical activity intervention on blood measures of lipids and insulin resistance in patients with prostate cancer undergoing radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT effectively slows the growth of prostate cancer cells, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effectiveness of RT. Despite the clinical gains, ADT leads to an array of side effects including insulin resistance, abnormal lipid levels, weight gain, increased visceral fat mass coupled with increased muscle wasting, and quality of life deterioration. A diet and physical activity intervention may intercept or prevent the abrupt metabolic and physiologic changes caused by androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT and RT.
Gastric cancer is a highly heterogeneous tumor. The most commonly used clinical classifications of gastric cancer are Lauren classification (intestinal, diffuse, mixed) and World Health Organization(WHO) classification (papillary adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, mucinous glands cancer and low-adhesion cancer). Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a special and rare type of gastric cancer. Compared with ordinary gastric cancer, HAS has unique clinicopathological characteristics, prone to liver metastasis and lymph node metastasis, has a highly aggressive and malignant biological behavior, a worse prognosis than alpha fetoprotein(AFP) normal gastric cancer, and is easily confused with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). There is the possibility of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, so it has gradually attracted people's attention. Most of the domestic and foreign literature on HAS in the past 30 years are retrospective cases or small sample reports, and there are few prospective studies. There is no standard treatment plan for HAS. The main treatment is based on gastric adenocarcinoma. The clinical treatment principle is a comprehensive treatment plan with surgical resection as the mainstay, supplemented by systemic chemotherapy and local interventional therapy. This type of gastric cancer has a relatively high degree of malignancy, rapid progress of the disease, and easy recurrence after surgery. There is no standard treatment plan in China and other foreign countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib with oxaliplatin and S-1 treatment advanced hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
This phase II trial investigates how well the addition of olaparib following completion of surgery and chemotherapy works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed (resected) and has a pathogenic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy.
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Shear Wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Perioperative drug treatment has gradually become the standard regimen for locally advanced gastric cancer, whereas only a subset of patients could benefit from it. Therefore, one major challenge for perioperative drug treatment is to construct promising biomarkers and to screen out potential beneficial patients. Recent evidence has revealed that tumor microenvironment (TME) is highly associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer. Meanwhile, tumor microenvironment score (TMEscore) established with transcriptomic data is a robust biomarker for predicting prognosis and guiding individualized immunotherapy strategies. However, its predictive value for perioperative drug treatment outcomes warrants further exploration and validation. The study is a multi-center, observational study to evaluate the relationship between the efficacy of perioperative treatment and tumor microenvironment in patients with locally advanced resectable gastric and gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, aiming at further determining the predictive value of TMEscore and establishing a comprehensive treatment-efficacy evaluation system for gastric cancer.
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, 3-cohort, phase II trial, evaluating a triplet combination of docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis and inoperable malignant bowel obstruction.
The purpose of this study is to see if ultrasound images that are analyzed by a special computer program can be used to measure the size of PDAC tumors in the liver as accurately as CT scans that involve contrast material (also called contrast-enhanced CT scans). All participants in this study will have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has spread (metastasized) to the liver, and all participants will be scheduled for a routine CT scan that will measure their cancer.
