Filter by:This proposal aims to expand non-pharmacologic options for the control of symptoms during chemotherapy using yoga practices. It is particularly focused on sleep disturbance with a secondary focus on fatigue.
The goal of this Phase1 clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of CriPec® docetaxel that can be given in the treatment of patients with solid tumours.
This study aims to assess self reported procedural pain compared with background pain and evaluate pain intensity differences across six standard procedures. Besides, rescue and preventive treatments used to control procedural pain will be examined.
The study is a first in man, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and how the drug works in the body in patients with all solid tumours. The aim of this study is to determine the most effective dose of the study drug that can then be further investigated in patients with advanced melanoma.
This is an open label, multi-center, phase 1 study of BBI608 and BBI503 administered orally in combination to patients with advanced solid tumors. The primary goal is to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the combination regimen.
There is no world-wide consensus on the oncological benefit versus increased morbidity associated with three field lymphadenectomy in patients with esophageal cancer and cervical lymph node metastases. In Asian countries, esophagectomy is commonly combined with a three field lymphadenectomy, including resection of cervical, thoracic and abdominal lymph nodes. However, in Western countries patients with cervical lymph node metastases are generally precluded from curative treatment.
The survey analyses how to improve the decision-making process for fertility preservation in the pediatric population based on 1. patient and parent feelings about fertility preservation counselling 2. influence of the emotional state of patients and parents on fertility preservation acceptance 3. support of medical staff and family The study revealed that attention to the fertility preservation pathways was important for the satisfaction of patient's and parent's expectations
This is an observational study. This protocol will determine the feasibility of using a novel nano-material based fiber-optic dosimeter (nanoFOD) device, with dimensions less than 1 mm wide, to measure real-time, pin-point, in-vivo radiation dose given during external beam delivery of radiation therapy treatments.This new protocol is similiar in design to Pro00050297 with the significant difference being the monitoring will be performed during external baem radiotherapy.
Objective: to describe and compare the implementation of two cancer survivorship care tools: (1) 'My Care Plan': a patient-initiated tool and (2) 'Survivorship Care Plan Builder': a provider-initiated tool. The results of this study will be used to (1) provide an initial assessment of the two survivorship care planning tools and (2) inform the design and conduct of a larger study.
Women who are diagnosed with cancer during their reproductive lifespan might be confronted with impaired fertility. Nowadays a number of fertility preservation options are available. Decisions about whether and how to protect fertility have to be made in a very short time period, right after cancer diagnosis and before start of treatment. The psychological impact for patients is considerable. This project aims at developing a standardized decision-aid tool to support the decision-making process about fertility preservation in young cancer patients. It is designed as an online decision-aid tool. A web-based tool is perfectly designed for this target group and offers new possibilities providing flexible and individually tailored information. The aim of the study is to examine the benefits of the online decision-aid tool compared with standard counseling (usual care). Decisional conflict is measured immediately after counseling as well as one month later. One year after counseling, decisional regret is being evaluated additionally. If the decision-aid tool proves to be helpful and useful, the online design allows making it available for a wide range of concerned patients.
