Filter by:Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving PARPi may experience rare but serious adverse events such as pancytopenia. Today, data about pancytopenia are scarce. The objective was to investigate reports of pancytopenia adverse events related to PARPi, including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, talazoparib, veliparib and pamiparib using the World Health Organization's (WHO) pharmacovigilance database: VigiBase.
Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving PARPi may experience rare but serious (or not) adverse events such as hypertension whose data are scarce. The objective was to investigate reports of hypertension related to PARPi, including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, talazoparib, veliparib, pamiparib, and fluzoparib using the World Health Organization's (WHO) pharmacovigilance database: VigiBase.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects and side effects of inactive COVID-19 vaccine in patients with cancer and compare them with the healthy control group.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer that poses a heavy economic burden on the healthcare system. In Egypt, it is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity-related cancer. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Cancer and type II diabetes (T2DM), the world's two most prevalent diseases, share many overlapping risk factors and predisposing pathological conditions. The exact mechanisms linking those two diseases are yet to be fully understood. In this study, the investigators aim to assess the relationship between Long Non-Coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF-1R) mRNA gene expressions in the blood samples of HCC & T2DM patients to investigate the probability of the presence of a pathophysiological link between HCC and DM that may become a therapeutic target for both diseases. To the investigator's knowledge, there is currently no human research study investigating both H19 and IGF-1R in both DM and cancer.
This study will recruit women with vasomotor symptoms of menopause and a prior cancer diagnosis, for whom conventional menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is contraindicated for any reason. This study will examine if the addition of psycho-social support and digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia to standard non-hormonal pharmacotherapy can improve quality of life for these women.
The main objective of the study is to assess the trend of clinicopathological features and treatment modalities in patients with thyroid cancer in the largest oncology center in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Tumor asthenia is the most common symptom associated with cancer and its treatment. Although the estimated prevalence varies between 60-90%, and it is considered the longest-lasting symptom in cancer patients, having the greatest impact on quality of life parameters, it is a problem that is still undervalued in general by health professionals . It has been observed that individuals with this process find it difficult to normalize their daily life, either due to a deterioration in their clinical condition or due to a problem in the generalization of what they have learned during their hospital stay. That is why we plan to carry out a clinical trial, to evaluate the effect of a controlled patient follow-up program, and thus be able to address these difficulties in the most optimal way. A randomized clinical trial of two parallel groups will be carried out, belonging to the oncology service of the University Hospital of Salamanca. 44 participants with tumor asthenia, who are admitted at the time of inclusion, will be selected through a consecutive sampling. After the baseline evaluation, the participants will be randomized into two groups. The subjects of the experimental group will carry out a Functional Rehabilitation Program, with a duration of one month. The main variable will be the evaluation of the basic activities of daily life (Barthel scale). The secondary variables will be oriented to evaluate the change in tumor asthenia, attention and cognitive functions, parameters of quality of life, pain, functional capacity and body composition. The results of this study could be transferred to the clinic, incorporating them into care protocols for cancer patients with tumor asthenia.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the validity of the 2-minute walk test (2MWT) and the 10-meter walk test (10MeWT) compared to the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) for subjects with onco-hematological disease.
Background: Psychological burden in cancer patients may worsen quality of life and even medical outcomes such as mortality. Nevertheless, many distressed patients are not recognized by the treating clinicians and left untreated even though effective psychosocial interventions exist. Existing screenings programs have multiple limitations such as the necessity of time consuming training and involvement of clincial staff, conventional screening instruments with limited diagnostic accuracy and the focusing on objective measures of distress, thereby neglecting subjective supportive care needs. Aims: To address some of the limitations outlined above, we developed an electronic psycho-oncological adaptive screening program (EPAS) which separately assesses distress and psychosocial care needs and provides immediate patient feedback with individualized recommendations about psychosocial care services. Design: Patients of the intervention are compared to a control condition. All participants are assessed at three measurement points (baseline, and at 3-months and 6-months follow-up). Outcomes: Outcomes assess aspects related to psychosocial care services, well-being and satisfaction. Recruitment: Patients are recruited within suitable health care facilities within the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCCH) and other facilities in the competence network of the UCCH. Patients are checked for eligibility via review of the medical chart and consecutively recruited by research assistants. Duration of the study: From start of recruitment, 2 years are planned until data analysis. 1 year is planned for recruitment. Analyses: We conduct group comparisons in the study outcomes, both unconditional and condcitional (controlled for care relevant co-variates).
This is an observational study that will prospectively record and monitor responses and clinical outcomes of patients with cancer after covid-19 vaccination, including measurements of antibody titers in serum and also record potential factors that affect immunity, such as type and stage of cancer, type and time of systemic therapy in relation to covid-19 vaccination.
