Filter by:There is no consensus about the optimal treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cirrhotic portal hypertension, While this group of patients are classified as hepatectomy contraindication according to guidelines from National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). With improvement of surgical technique, preoperative evaluation, and perioperative management,especially the Precise Hepatectomy Technique, more and more studies confirmed the safety of surgical intervention to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.However, most of the previous studies were either retrospective or with small samples. The investigators project is a prospective randomized controlled trial, planning to compare the safety, efficacy and quality of life between precise hepatectomy and combined interventional treatment on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cirrhotic portal hypertension, to make a further understanding of optimal strategy.
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with or without cisplatin and etoposide and to see how well they work in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cisplatin and etoposide with or without veliparib may work better in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or metastatic large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell lung cancer.
There is no effective standard treatment for fibrolamellar liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, 3 drugs called letrozole, leuprolide and everolimus will have on cancer. All of these drugs are FDA approved for the treatment of different cancers. Letrozole and leuprolide stop the body from producing estrogen, a normal hormone produced by the body. Too much estrogen may help fibrolamellar liver cancer grow. Everolimus is a drug that may block other chemicals in the body that can help cancer grow. The combination of letrozole and leuprolide plus everolimus may work well together.
This phase II trial studies how well dalantercept works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back or is persistent. Dalantercept may stop the growth of endometrial cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
The propose of this study is to identification of a group of specific amplitude-modulated frequencies of low intensity electromagnetic fields that is associated with biofeedback upon exposure to in patients with hepatitis B carries with or without hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a collaborative care intervention to manage cancer-related symptoms and improve health related quality of life in patients diagnosed with hepatobiliary carcinoma.
The purpose of the study is to explore the influence of BRAF and PIK3K status on the efficacy of FOLFIRI plus Bevacizumab or Cetuximab, as first line therapy of patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal carcinoma and < 3 circulating tumor cells
The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the diagnostic value of Xenetix-CT perfusion for the discrimination between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and poorly/moderately differentiated HCC, in histo-pathologically proven HCC, and with the aim to cover the entire liver.
They include patients who are candidates to complete concurrent treatment with endocavitary brachytherapy External radiation therapy + more QT based weekly cisplatin.
The hypothesis of this clinical trial is that hepatocellular carcinomas contain somatostatin receptors which make them sensitive to the inhibitory effects of a new somatostatin analog, SOM230. This analog has greater and broader binding affinity to somatostatin receptors compared to the current drug in use, sandostatin LAR. Thus, SOM230 has the potential to be more effective in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
