Filter by:Background & Aim: Presence of microvascular invasion (mvi) in the explanted liver defines a higher risk of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study is to evaluate pre LT selection models of HCC recurrence specifically in patients without mvi in the explanted liver. Methods: Three multicenter cohorts are going to be included: a Latin American, a French and an Italian cohort of consecutive adult patients with HCC a first LT performed during two different periods: 2005-2011 and 2012-2016. AFP model is going to be compared against Milan and San Francisco criteria according to each models accuracy and prediction of HCC recurrence among patients without microvascular invasion in the explanted liver considering these candidates as "Low-risk patients". Multivariate Cox regression analysis, with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for 5-year recurrence is going to be done with Competing Risk Regression analysis and corresponding Subhazard Ratios (SHR).
This study is being conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of EDP1503 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and checkpoint inhibitor relapsed tumors
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a decision support tool for patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Medullary carcinoma (MC) is a rare tumor with solid growth pattern without glandular differentiation and constitute less than 1% of colorectal cancer. Lymph node positivity and distant organ metastasis were reported to be lower than other poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas. Therefore, the diagnosis of MC is pathologically important in terms of follow-up and treatment. MC is commonly localized in the right colon, has a large tumor size, and is mostly diagnosed in the T4 stage. As MC most likely have defects in DNA MMR, the correct pathological diagnosis is important for the postoperative treatment and the prognosis of the patients.
This clinical trial is for participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who are scheduled to have their tumor surgically removed. The study involves obtaining baseline tissue from a clinical biopsy or research biopsy and measurement of circulating tumor cells before surgery to determine whether AXL protein expression pre-treatment correlates to clinical outcomes (change in tumor size) after two doses of cetuximab. The importance of this study is to describe if AXL expression can be used as a biomarker to predict clinical response to cetuximab (CTX) treatment.
Liver cancer (HCC) is the second cause of death related to cancer worldwide, with about 750,000 deaths from this cause in 2012. Although the early diagnosis of liver cancer increases the available treatment options, the methods currently used for screening are not sufficiently sensitive for this purpose. The investigators provide a high-performance and highly reliable in vitro platform that allows the identification and quantification of autoantibodies in serum for use as biomarkers of liver cancer, using an ELISA test (Yliver). The aim of the study is to demonstrate whether the Yliver test can be used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with a collection of samples from 58 patients diagnosed with HCC, 42 cirrhosis, 40 normal controls and the inclusion of 25-50 patients with chronic liver disease without cirrhosis.
This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label phase II study including patients with squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus, refractory or intolerant to combination therapy with Fluoropyrimidine and Platinum-based drugs.
This is a minimal risk feasibility study involving the analysis of patient samples and does not involve any therapeutic intervention. The study will involve a prospective cohort of up to 60 patients diagnosed with Locoregionally-Advanced Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LA-OPSCC) treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
This study is to determine the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab in patients with recurrent metastatic solid tumors. Researchers believe that this combination will have a tolerable safety profile and will increase the response rate in comparison to Nivolumab alone.
This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of TAK-659 and paclitaxel in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. TAK-659 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Giving TAK-659 and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
