In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate whether serum and abdominal washing fluid CA-125 levels correlated with postoperative histopathological parameters in patients with endometrial carcinoma.
In Phase I the sponsor will systematically test conditions for lavage filtration that increase tumor cell fraction without reducing tumor mutation yield. The Sponsor will also transition all lavages to luteal phase timing, when endometrial shedding is least. In Phase II the Sponsor will examine our data in context of clinical characteristics, particularly age, to develop a multivariate model that determines optimal mutant allele frequency (MAF) diagnostic threshold by patient. Furthermore, the sponsor will explore a highly innovative idea, entailing empirically determining each individual's background mutation load, agnostic of the aging or mutagenic exposures responsible, and using this as a personalized calibrator to determine optimal MAF diagnostic threshold.
atients with cancer face difficult choices that require balancing competing priorities such as survival, functional capacity and symptom relief. Most patients with advanced cancer (>80%) expect their sensitive discussions with physicians about prognosis and treatment choices, in order to be involved in the decision making process. Nevertheless, this kind of discussion is frequently lacking. Consequently, patients often have a biased view of their own prognosis such as an underestimation of disease severity, or unrealistic expectations for cure. Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be treated with systemic therapies which may prolong survival, but are not curative. Patients with advanced HCC often report expectations for survival and treatment-related side-effects that differ from their treating physician. Accordingly, communication on prognostic and treatment choices is essential to obtain an accurate understanding of the disease that allows patients to make informed decisions. To the best of our knowledge, a thorough evaluation of the physician-patient communication quality has never been performed in advanced HCC patients. The aim of our study, is to assess the perception of the expected prognosis, the treatment side-effects; by the patient and by his investigator during the first consultation before the initiation

This study utilizes a new method to explore compare the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients aged 18-45 years with stage I-II HCC who underwent different types of surgery. The SEER database, which is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative databases concerning cancer, was used to estimate the survival benefit of patients who underwent local tumor destruction (LTD), wedge or segmental resection (WSR), lobectomy resection (LR), liver transplantation (LT), or non-surgery. This study discovered surgery offered a survival benefit compared with non-surgery for young patients with stage I-II HCC. Furtherly, LT is associated with superior survival than WSR, LR and LTD in those patients. Our results facilitate the selection of surgical strategies.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can present itself in many forms (size, number of lesions) for the treatment of which a therapeutic panel can be elaborated and layered. If a curative treatment cannot be considered in case of an HCC classified in an intermediate stage, a Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) can be proposed. In case of a partial response or the treatment of some lesions of a multifocal HCC, a combined treatment by stereotaxic radiotherapy (CK), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) may be initiated in accordance with a decision of the multidisciplinary consultation meeting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of HCC receiving MWA, RFA or CK after downstaging with TACE.
This study is a survey in Japan of Cabozantinib tablets used to treat people with a type of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma. The study sponsor will not be involved in how the participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from Cabozantinib. During the study, participants with renal cell carcinoma will take Cabozantinib tablets according to their clinic's standard practice. The study doctors will check for side effects from Cabozantinib for 26 weeks.
Phase I exploratory, open-label, single arm, multicenter study to assess safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of ONCOFID-P-B™ therapy in adult patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in situ (CIS), who were unresponsive or intolerant to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-therapy. Patients are initially treated with 12 weekly intravesical instillations of ONCOFID-P-B™ (intensive treatment phase). Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) after the 12 weekly instillations entered the maintenance phase of the study, during which ONCOFID-P-B™ is furtherly administered once a month for 12 months.
