Filter by:The purpose of this observational study is to collect real-world data that describes treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in participants with first line recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head & neck (1L R/M SCCHN).
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are relatively frequent and potentially fatal diseases. However, studies that are comparing clinical outcomes between CRC and CLTI patients in more advanced stages of the disease are lacking. The study aim was to evaluate outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) treated by curative-intent liver resection and CLTI patients according to wound, ischemia, foot infection (WIfI) classification by comparing the short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
Various factors determine the long term survival in this non-uniform cohort of incidental gallbladder cancer. Timing of re-intervention is suggested to play an important role in the outcome. Few centers are proponents of early surgery in order to prevent dissemination, while others have suggested an intentional delay of 3 months to filter out cases with aggressive pathology. In the present study, investigators intend to evaluate the factors affecting survival in incidental Gallbladder Cancer (IGBC) with special reference to timing of re-intervention.
This study learns if depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing (thought patterns that prompt people to expect the worst) are associated with chronic pain after surgery among patients who are scheduled to have cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy. Information from this study may improve the understanding of persistent and chronic postsurgical pain integrating multiple layers of biological and behavioral sciences.
This study evaluates what influences treatment decision-making in African American women with triple negative breast cancer. The study also aims to learn about the influence of information sources that support this decision-making process.
This study will study circulating tumor cell (CTC) release during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for RCC. The main objective is to determine if CTC release can be reduced during RN by using a no-touch technique, with an early renal pedicle ligation. The investigators also aim to describe the CTC profile in terms of CTC count (CTCn), epithelial/mesenchymal status, and CTC cellular features in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, stratified by "primary tumor, regional nodes, metastasis" (TNM) staging, histological subtype, and other clinical and radiological features. Patients undergoing RN will enter a two-arm prospective single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing a no-touch RN technique, with direct pedicle ligation (Group A) vs. the more conventional approach of kidney traction and manipulation to reach the renal pedicle before its ligation (Group B). A microfluidic size-based CTC isolation device will be used to capture and count CTCs from peripheral blood samples of these patients. CTCs will be identified by staining with antibodies to cytokeratin 8/18, vimentin, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and cluster of differentiation antigen 45 (CD45). CTC release will be correlated with the disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). The investigators will determine if CTC reducing no-touch radical nephrectomy technique improves these hard outcomes.
Urothelial carcinoma is the ninth most common malignant neoplasm worldwide. nearly in all human tumors, actin filaments are involved in lamellopodia or cellular extensions. Cortactin is involved in fixing the actin assembly to enhance cellular penetration. Assessment of Cortactin expression in invasive and non-invasive urothelial carcinoma and recording any significant different expressions may have benefits in developing more effective anticancer chemotherapeutic agents.
The purpose of the study is to capture the utilization of nivolumab among participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) since its approval, and to describe the health related quality of life (HRQoL) among participants treated with nivolumab in a real-world setting.
Primary liver cancers are the sixth most common malignancies worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounting for approximately 80% of them. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) classification is widely used in the management of HCC. At the time of diagnosis, fewer than 30% of the patients qualify for resection or transplant due to the large size or multiplicity of the lesions, background chronic liver disease, and other comorbidities. However, the recent spread of surveillance has led to early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the chance of receiving local treatment has increased. There are several options to treat small HCCs, including surgical resection, chemical ablation, transplantation, and percutaneous ablation (RFA/MWA). Today, percutaneous ablation plays a key role in the treatment of early-stage HCC because it is less invasive than surgical resection and has a good efficacy. However, targeting of lesions under USG alone may be misleading as there may be an enhancing component which is not seen on plain ultrasound. To overcome this problem contrast enhanced ultrasound may be used intra-procedurally, however conventional ultrasound contrast agents show washout by 5 minutes from the system. In this study, the investigators prospectively analyze patients undergoing ablation with the help of precise needle placement using a Kupffer phase ultrasound contrast agent (perfluorobutane) and their post procedure response assessment.
The primary goal of this trial is to assess clinical response to nivolumab and pixatimod, and, nivolumab, pixatimod and cyclophosphamide in three separate patient cohorts. Cohort 1: MSS mCRC in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide, Cohort 2: PD-1 relapsed/refractory melanoma, and Cohort 3: PD-1 relapsed/refractory NSCLC.
