Filter by:The investigators performed a randomized, prospective study method on observation of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) combined with chemotherapy maintenance to prolong the efficacy of long-term survival of advanced non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.The investigators plan to involve 100 cases for observation in 3 years (50 cases for chemotherapy maintenance, 50 cases for chemotherapy maintenance plus TCM), expecting that integrated TCM combined with chemotherapy maintenance has a better efficacy on prolonging progression-free survival time, overall survival, improving quality of life(QOL) of patients than that of chemotherapy maintenance.
Context People with intellectual disability (PWIDs), nearly 1,300,000 adults and children in France, develop as many cancers as persons in the general population. However, their tumors are different by their particular organ distribution, the age of onset, the biological background (2,000 genetic conditions are associated with an intellectual disability) and above all the unusual clinical presentation. These cancers are not well known from physicians, carers and families, and often discovered late. A recent review of the literature shows many inequalities in the prevention, monitoring, screening, diagnosis and treatment of cancer in these patients. Currently, no population study on clinical features and stage at diagnosis of cancer in PWIDs is available. No interventional research study has been conducted on this subject. Hypothesis Investigators hypothesize that inequalities in cancer care of PWIDs do not result from a direct link between intellectual disability and cancer, but are related to diagnosis difficulties of these tumors which are not well known, and to difficulties of communication with these patients who do not express easily their symptoms, particularly pain.
The path of a patient depends largely on his health care network, that is to say of the interrelationships between health professionals who will be involved throughout his career. At the hospital, the transition points in the care process is a vulnerable time for the patient regarding the continuity of his medication. These transition points are the intake, the transfer and the outlet. In town, our health system must be able to build on the inter-city hospital, warranty essential guarantee of the continuity of care. However, there is often a breakdown in this relationship with more or less serious consequences ranging from simple dissatisfaction of the patient, to the realization of duplicate examinations or the use unjustified emergency and re-hospitalization. Medication errors can occur, resulting from incomplete information or poorly communicated in this city hospital interface. The city hospital dysfunctions are mainly organizational, hospital being rather specialized therapeutic approach centered on pathology and medicine city instead focuses on a patient's overall approach. The involvement of the pharmacist in the hospital, as the city is an interesting axis to develop. In town, the pharmaceutical nomadism, including in major cities remains low, patients generally have a dedicated pharmacies for the treatment of their serious or chronic pathologies. The development of the pharmaceutical folder today allows the pharmacies to access the history and the entire therapy of patients prescribed to town by different specialists and general practitioners, on the last 4 months. Its recent availability within our hospital Group allows us to consider its use to fully optimize the patient's drug monitoring.
The purpose of this research study is to address the challenge of symptom management for hospitalized patients with cancer.
This is a feasibility study of anesthesia in closed loop with the CONCERT-CL® station, on the effect of the hypnotic agent, measured by the bispectral index of the electroencephalogram, to maintain the hypnosis level within the recommended limits for general anesthesia. The analgesic agent is administered in "Target-Controlled Infusion = TCI" and analgesia evaluated by pupillometry. This is a prospective, open, non-controlled, non-randomized, monocentric study. The main objective is to study the potential contribution of the system in the conduct of anaesthesia, as decision support, for the administration of the hypnotic agent. Secondary objectives will include hemodynamic stability, and the average concentrations of opioid and hypnotic anesthetic agents evaluated from the pharmacokinetic model. The study will involve surgical patients scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia for more than 1 (one) hour.
The investigators performed a randomized, double blind controlled, prospective study method on observation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combined with targeted therapy maintenance to prolong the efficacy of long-term survival of advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients. The investigators plan to involve 200 cases for observation in 3 years (100 cases for targeted therapy maintenance, 100 cases for targeted therapy maintenance plus TCM,), expecting that integrated TCM combined with targeted maintenance therapy has a better efficacy on prolonging progression-free survival time, overall survival, improving quality of life(QOL) of patients than that of targeted maintenance therapy.
Controlling of cancer induced anorexia is highly demanded by advanced cancer patients. It plays an important role in improving the quality of life among advanced cancer patients. Through a randomized controlled single blinded clinical research, we will observe the differences of appetite, food intake amount, weight and KPS between the auricular needling treating group and control group before and after the treatment. Based on the results of the research, we can prove the clinical effectiveness of auricular needling in treating cancer induced anorexia and possible mechanism of the method.
The TOP Study is a two-stage study on individually tailored endurance and resistance training prescriptions for breast and prostate cancer patients after the end of primary therapy in order to optimize training effects.
The process of enhancing functional capacity of the individual in anticipation of an upcoming stressor has been termed "prehabilitation". In the present pilot trial, the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation intervention composed of exercise, nutritional supplement and psychological well-being begun in the preoperative period will be evaluated.
Prospective, monocentric, comparative, non randomised Primary objective : - to compare the diagnostic accuracy of sodium fluoride PET-CT and MRI using the conventional block and diffusion sequence in the search for bone metastases Secondary objectives : - compare accuracy of MRI diffusion and conventional MRI - explore the evolution of the results of the different types of imaging over time or under treatment for patients with repeated examinations at 6 months
