Filter by:The primary hypothesis of the study is that listening to music will reduce anxiety in female cancer patients during the first radiotherapy treatment session.
Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are often prescribed for malnourished patients to help improve nutritional status. Commonly in cancer patients taste and smell alterations and side effects of treatment can affect the palatability and compliance to ONS. A variety of flavours and styles are available of ONS however research of the palatability of these in cancer patients is limited. This study aims to evaluate specific flavours created based on the taste changes occuring during treatment. We aim to evaluate the patient liking and evaluation of 5 flavors in 3 different types of flavour-sensations: - Warming/spicy sensation: to trigger the senses and bring new sensations - Cooling/fresh sensation: to have a fresh mouthfeel and lighter base perception - Neutral: to avoid that patients experience additional flavour and let them the opportunity to mix it with other food
This project represents a first systematic, prospective, single-arm cohort study of a safe and effective dosing regimen of an orally administered cannabis oil formulation in a cancer subject population with poorly controlled pain.
To assess if the CMB305 vaccine regimen may help the body's immune system to slow or stop the growth of synovial sarcoma tumor and improve survival.
The purpose of this study is to formally characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of TS-1 in combination with cisplatin in adult patients with advanced solid tumors who have mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment relative to patients with normal hepatic function, as categorized by the United States National Cancer Institute organ dysfunction working group [NCI-ODWG] criteria for hepatic dysfunction.
Randomized clinical trial about the evaluation of the use of nature photographs in the positive and negative affects of oncological patients.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) patients experience significant distress in specific areas at diagnosis. The investigators hypothesize that providing developmentally-appropriate AYA-specific psychosocial care, with an individualized multi-disciplinary program will alleviate this distress, as well as improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The investigators' primary aim is to evaluate the impact of psychosocial interventions on HRQOL. The secondary aims are to firstly identify the types of psychosocial distress experienced and secondly, to assess the feasibility of implementing a psychosocial screening and intervention program amongst AYA patients newly diagnosed with cancer.
This research study is evaluating how well a decision support tool works to improve clinicians' use of recommended chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) assessment and management strategies in participants receiving chemotherapy.
Comparison between internal jugular vein versus via axillary vein with single-incision for placement of implantable ports in cancer patients. Investigators are recruiting 240 patients and randomizing 120 for each arm. Primary outcome is early complications, until 30 days and secondary outcome late complications, between 30 days and 6 months. The follow-up is 12 months.
Trial Phase: Phase III: A multi-centre efficacy pragmatic factorial design randomised controlled trial with patient informed development and process evaluation Indication: Patients undergoing major electively resectable intra - cavity cancer surgery with or without neoadjuvant cancer treatments (including chemotherapy (NAC), chemoradiotherapy (CRT), or immunotherapy). Objective: To investigate the efficacy of a community based Structured Responsive Exercise-training Programme (SRETP) ± psychological support on surgical outcome by reducing postoperative length of stay (LOS) and complications. Secondary Objective: To investigate the efficacy of a community based Structured Responsive Exercise-training Programme (SRETP) ± psychological support to improve disease-free overall survival. Cardiopulmonary Exercise test (CPET) variables, physical activity, morbidity, radiological markers of sarcopenia, toxicity, tumour down-staging, tumour regression, disability adjusted survival (WHODAS) overall survival and quality of life (QoL).
