This trial is to determine if prostate target delineation obtained through an ultrasound based system is equivalent in accuracy to the MRI image fusion, and if alignment correction vectors obtained from ultrasound imaging are of equivalent accuracy to orthogonal X-ray imaging for daily prostate positioning.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Taxanes or Platinum Plus Capecitabine With Capecitabine Maintenance Treatment as 1st line treatment in he advanced gastric cancer is effective and safe.
The best treatment for resectable esophageal or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is unknown. Although an operation to remove the esophagus is the most common treatment, previous studies have shown that patients live longer when either perioperative (before and after surgery) chemotherapy or preoperative (before surgery) chemotherapy plus radiation is given, compared to surgery alone. However it is unknown which of these treatments (perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiation) is more effective in improving survival. A study where patients with resectable esophageal / GE junction cancer are chosen at random to receive one of the two preoperative treatments would help determine if one form of treatment improves survival compared to the other. Patients with localized esophageal / GE junction cancer (adenocarcinoma) will be randomized to receive either preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgery. The main objective of this pilot trial is to determine the possibility of conducting a larger study with many centers participating. If this study proves to be feasible with enough patients enrolled and able to tolerate treatments without major side effects then we can hopefully proceed to perform a larger multi-center trial to look for survival outcome differences between patients who receive preoperative chemotherapy and those who receive preoperative chemoradiation. The results of this trial would ultimately help us choose the most effective treatment of resectable esophageal cancer and hopefully improve survival.
Docetaxel was the first drug that showed survival benefits when added to the CF regimen, but it was very toxic. Docetaxel is also has a synergistic anti-cancer effect with S-1, in phase I/II studies. The use of a docetaxel plus S-1 combination as first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer achieved response rates of 46~56% and a median survival time of 14.0~14.3 months. Based upon this background, the aim of this study is to detect a significant increase in 3 year DFS of disease for the test group (DS) relative to the Control group (SP).
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionally conserved protein kinase that serves as an energy guardian to help cells adapt to various metabolic stress including hypoxia. Because the role of AMPK in cancers has not been fully elucidated, in this study we investigated the expression and activation of AMPK in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) cells and tissue.
Optic atrophy type 1(OPA1) is a nuclear dynamin-related GTPase, targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which plays a role in mitochondrial fusion. Mitochondria fusion is associated with process of apoptosis. . OPA1 plays an important role in the mitochondrial bioenergetics and mitochondrial networks. The changes in mitochondrial shape and mitochondrial bioenergetics may be cause of the disease. In this study, we investigate the expression of OPA1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) cells and tissue.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AXP107-11 alone, and in combination with gemcitabine standard therapy, in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer of the pancreas. The safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of AXP107-11 in these patients will also be studied.
Hypothesis: the bladder and sexual functions can be better preserved in patients with robotic assisted rectal surgery This is a randomized trial comparing the bladder and sexual function of patients who undergo laparoscopic and robotic assisted rectal resection for rectal cancer.
