Filter by:Introduction - Incidence of thyroid cancer has increased considerably in France in recent years, but the mortality rate has declined only slightly. Part of this increased incidence could be attributable to overdiagnosis. We aimed to estimate the contribution of overdiagnosis to the incidence of papillary thyroid cancer. Material and methods. - Incidence rates were calculated based on data from the specialised Marnes-Ardennes thyroid cancer registry, for cancers diagnosed between 1975 and 2014, by age category and by five-year period. The population was divided into two groups according to pTNM classification at diagnosis (i.e. localised or invasive). Overdiagnosis was defined as the difference in incidence rates between the invasive cancer and localised cancer groups. This rate was then divided by the incidence rate in the localised cancer group for the most recent period (2010-2014) to obtain the proportion of cancers attributable to overdiagnosis.
AIO-KHT-0117 (OPTIM) is a phase II, open-label randomized, multicenter study of nivolumab and ipilimumab on the optimization of immunotherapy in squamous carcinoma of the head and neck after prior platinum-based therapy.
Treatment for stage 4 gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis has been unchanged for decades. The median survival for stage 4 gastric cancer is 9-14 months with systemic chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy in combination with systemic chemotherapy is under many clinical trials mainly in Japan, and are showing promising results. This is Korea's first clinical trial on Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel with Systemic mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well durvalumab given with or without metformin works in treating participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Metformin, a drug typically used for the treatment of diabetes, may help to reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues. It is not yet known whether giving durvalumab with or without metformin may work better in treating participants with head and neck squamous carcinoma.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of avelumab and how well it works in combination with fluorouracil and mitomycin or cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, mitomycin, and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving avelumab with chemotherapy and radiotherapy may work better in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of oleclumab (MEDI9447) in combination with or without durvalumab plus chemotherapy in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This study is comparing the accuracy and speed of the Vivascope 2500 ex-vivo fluorescent confocal microscope with frozen section Mohs histology in evaluating clear margins in basal cell carcinoma in Mohs surgery.
Vismodegib (ERIVEDGE®) at the standard dose of 150 mg/day orally is indicated for the treatment of advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and is associated with many adverse effects. Cramps, alopecia, dysgeusia, weight loss and others observed in clinical practice, compromize compliance and often lead to treatment discontinuation. Currently, it is the only drug available in this indication. Our main objective is to assess the relationship between plasma concentrations of vismodegib, and the occurrence of adverse effects within 6 months of inclusion in the study.
Early laryngeal cancer can be treatment by laser surgery or radiotherapy, intermediate and advanced laryngeal carcinoma mainly surgical treatment. Laryngeal cancer is at risk of recurrence after treatment, whether in surgery, laser or radiotherapy. The recurrence rate of laryngeal cancer is about 10% reported at home and abroad. Local pain, ulcers, breathing and eating difficulties caused by recurrent laryngeal cancer seriously reduce the quality of life of patients and seriously endanger their lives. Therefore, head and neck surgeons are required to make every effort to give them saving treatment in order to improve their quality of life. Prolong the patient's life.
Open-label, Phase I-II, first-in-human (FIH) study for A166 monotherapy in HER2-expressing or amplified patients who progressed on or did not respond to available standard therapies. Patients must have documented HER2 expression or amplification. The patient must have exhausted available standard therapies. Patients will receive study drug as a single IV infusion. Cycles will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
