Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sorafenib tosylate and docetaxel when given together with cisplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may also help cisplatin and docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Giving sorafenib tosylate, cisplatin, and docetaxel may be an effective treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
In this Phase 1 Trial investigators plan to establish the MTD of HyperAcute®-Renal (HAR) immunotherapy in subjects with clinically metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Near-Infrared fluorescence imaging is an effective approach to detect the colorectal tumoral tissues and peritoneal implants in colorectal cancer patients.
Circulating tumour cell (CTC) count could reflect the effect of postoperative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence.
The preventive lymphadenectomy is not performed routinely for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in clinical practice. While many patients suffered the recurrence without the evidence of portal or hepatic vascular invasion or multiple loci, it lead to reconsider the value of preventive resection of regional lymph node for those patients. Recently, more and more studies had found the incidence of lymph node metastasis was higher in autopsy specimen than those in operable patients. This project is a prospective randomized controlled trial, planning to compare hepatectomy with hepatectomy combined lymphadenectomy regarding of the safety and efficacy in HCC patients, to reach a further understanding of the role of lymphadenectomy.
The study aim to study whether spinal anesthesia (using: bupivacain, morfin och klonidin) can be better than epidural anesthesia during and after open surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Per- and postoperative pain after spinal anesthesia with klonidin can be reduced and, thus, shorten the hospital stay and rehabilitation of the patients.
Unresectable, non-metastatic cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis as there are no recommended curative treatments. Chemoembolisation is the most widely used treatment in these patients, but this technique can prove to be toxic. intrahepatic arterial chemotherapy with lipiodol and idarubicin could be an effective therapeutic approach, without deteriorating liver function. The rationale for this treatment can be resumed as follows: - HCC are vascularised via the hepatic artery system - The IHA perfusion of anthracyclines leads to high elimination via the liver with low systemic concentrations - The absence of embolisation reduces toxicity - the toxiciity profile of idarubicin is well known and the drug is widely used for the IV treatment of leukemia - idarubicin is the most cytotoxic drug for tumor cell lines. - The in vitro cytotoxicity of idarubicin is 100% at low concentrations - Lipiodol can stay in contact with tumor tissue for several weeks after injection and act as a vector for the drug - The idarubicin-lipiodol is more stable than lipidol emulsions usually given by intraarterial injection - The emulsion is more stable with idarubicin than with other anticancer molecules - Sequential inclusion in accordance with the "continual reassessment method" makes it possible to increase inclusions at a target toxicity level while reducing inclusions at doses that are too low or too toxic The aim of the treatment is to improve survival.
The primary trial objective is to determine the efficacy of KPT-330 (selinexor) in participants with advanced or metastatic gynaecological cancers by disease control rate (complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) for at least 12 weeks, assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
To evaluate the impact of liver fibrosis and other variables [e.g., age, sex, virological response (VR), and previous resistance to nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NUC) therapy] on Hepatocellular carcinoma incidence in an Italian population of genotype D HBeAg-negative CHB patients treated with long-term NUC therapy.
The intervention tested in this research project aims to reduce this inequality by improving the management of elderly head and neck cancer patients with a specific management. Indeed, the treatment of elderly head and neck cancer patients has specificities concerning treatment options, their tolerance, psychological management, nutritional and functional status, and support needed at home. To assess the overall needs of the elderly patients, an assessment known as "comprehensive geriatric assessment" (CGA) can be performed by a geriatrician with extensive testing and questionnaires. This assessment is long and requires an experienced geriatrician. It leads to the development of an individualized treatment plan (physiotherapy, psychological follow-up, support at home, nutritional management ...) and follow-up to adapt the necessary cares for the duration of the cancer treatment. The CGA utility has been studied in elderly patients with nonmalignant diseases. Studies have shown that CGA allowed improving survival and maintaining the elderly at home.
