Filter by:This research aims to explore the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscular invasive bladder cancer of T2-4aN0M0, and the survival effect of combined-modality treatment model，then to clarify the probability of bladder preservation, corresponding cancer specific survival, and the quality of life.
Phase 1 study to provide quantitative characterization of the renal elimination of ethacrynic acid and metabolites in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) at the time of transurethral resection of bladder tumor
The study objective is to collect prospective data on cancer patients who undergo surgery and intraoperative imaging. The registry will include (but not limited to) cancer type, stage, intraoperative challenges to the surgeon, usage and results of intraoperative imaging, and recurrence surveillance.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the comprehension of the Informed consent with the Standard Verbal Communication (SVC) versus Portable Video Media (PVM).
In many of urothelial carcinoma patients, one does not find common risk factors such as smoking. The medical center is located in an industrial city with known air and water pollution. The investigators decided to check the presence of nano particles and traces of metals in urinary samples of patients known and suspected for urothelial carcinoma and compare the results to both cystoscopic and cytological findings. The patients will fill a validated epidemiological respiratory disease survey and the results will be compared to a control group.
This study evaluates the therapeutic value of: (i) simultaneous endoscopic visualization of the inner bladder using white light and blue light excitations and (ii) high resolution panoramic images of the bladder inner wall. All participants will undergo fluorescence cystoscopy: the first half using first a reference medical device for fluorescence cystoscopy already on the market then using the innovative device specifically developped for the CyPaM2 project. The other half will undergo fluorescence cystoscopy using first the innovative then the reference medical device.
Background: Advanced urothelial cancer has no cure. But only a few chemotherapy drugs have been tested for it. The Co-eXpression ExtrapolatioN (COXEN) model predicts if cells respond to treatment. It may also help determine which drugs fight urothelial cancer based on the characteristics of a tumor. Researchers want to test if this model can choose the best therapy for advanced urothelial cancer within 3 weeks and how tumors respond to the next best therapy. Objective: To test if the COXEN model can choose the best therapy for advanced urothelial cancer within 3 weeks. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older whose urothelial cancer has spread after at least 1 line of chemotherapy Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, blood and urine tests, and tumor scans. Participants will provide a tumor sample from a previous surgery and a new biopsy. A needle will remove a small piece of tumor. Participants will repeat screening tests, plus have an electrocardiogram (EKG) and scan. For the scan, they will get an injection of radioactive drug. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures. Participants will take the drugs assigned by the COXEN model. They will have visits every 2-3 weeks. These will include blood and urine tests. Participants will have tumor scans every 8-9 weeks. Participants may have another biopsy. Participants will take the drugs until they can't tolerate the side effects or their cancer worsens. They may be assigned to a second COXEN therapy. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks after their last drug dose. Participants will be contacted by phone every few months until death.
This is a randomized parallel group trial designed to evaluate the impact of implementing geriatrician-prescribed interventions based on the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), on the ability to deliver adequate chemotherapy treatment, as measured by relative dose intensity (RDI).
This is a prospective multicentre observational study to assess the sensitivity of the UroMark assay to detect bladder cancer in participants with new or recurrent disease. The study will recruit patients with newly detected or recurrent bladder cancer. The reference standard will be histopathological confirmation of tumour stage and (Ta, T1, ≥T2) and grade 1, 2 or 3 diseases with or without CIS, or CIS alone. Patients with a visual diagnosis of bladder cancer following cystoscopy will be approached and asked to consent for this study. Consenting participants will be provided with a urine sample collection kit and asked to provide a urine sample. Samples can be provided at home and posted to the receiving lab using the stamped addressed envelope. The urine sample must be obtained before TURBT and following TURBT, patients with NMIBC who require surveillance cystoscopy will be asked to provide a urine sample at 3 monthly intervals for up to 2 years. The study will be conducted in at least 11 NHS trusts. As DETECT II is an observation study requiring provision of a urine sample, it will be possible for patients in DETECT II to be recruited to other trials.
The purpose of this study is to perform a secondary analysis of SWOG 8710 to assess NLRs value as a biomarker. Specifically, the investigators test two hypotheses: 1) that baseline NLR is correlated with overall survival after curative treatment for BC and 2) that baseline NLR is correlated with the survival benefit of NAC. The study will look at the data from participants of the SWOG 8710 study.
