Filter by:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common maligancies of China. In the era of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), the 5-year overall survival (OS) has now reached 85.0% or more. However, even after chemoradiation, the 5-year distant-metastasis rate of patients with N2-3 NPC is still 36.7%. Aspirin is proven in lab and clinical studies to have the abilities of inhibiting the inflammation which could enhance metastasis of breast and colorectal cancers. And before this study, it was discovered that regular aspirin intake might be associated with distant-metastasis-free survival (MFS) and OS independently. So this Phase 2 trial was conducted to validate the impact of aspirin on prognosis of N2-3 NPC.
In vitro study to examine whether luteolin and nano-luteolin exert an inhibitory effect on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line by inducing apoptosis, and to assess if nano-luteolin has more efficient apoptotic activity than luteolin on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative liver stiffness measurement(LSM) by FibroScan in predicting the progress of liver fibrosis and prognosis after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Background: Progress of liver fibrosis and liver failure and related poor prognosis after TACE which are not completely predictable by current method including Child-Pugh Classification. LSM is used to calculate the degree of liver fibrosis and is affected by several liver injury, e.g. elevated Alanine aminotransferase（ALT）, Aspartate transaminase(AST) and Bilirubin et al. The investigators assume that LSM could be use to predict progress of liver fibrosis and adverse effects after TACE in HCC. Methods: At least 200 patients will be recruited in this prospective observational study with preoperative LSM, demographic, laboratory, radiological and other treatment-related factors. Participants will be followed up till death or to the end of study no matter the liver failure occurs or not. Data will be analyzed to build a mathematical predicting model. Research hypothesis：TACE is related to progress of liver fibrosis and a mathematical model with LSM is able to predict the risk of liver failure and prognosis in HCC.
To evaluate efficacy and safety profile of DC bead® TACE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in Taiwan.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with positive circumstantial resection margin.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that is progressing rapidly. Hepatic arterial embolization chemotherapy (TACE) is a common method for the treatment of unresectable of hepatocellular carcinoma.But for patients with > 10cm hepatocellular carcinoma, the intervention effect was not satisfied.The cyberknife is a kind of stereotactic radiotherapy which can track the movement of tumor and monitor the position deviation of tumor in real time.This stuy is aimed to observe the efficiency and safety of the combination of TACE and cyberknife in the treatment of massive hepatocellular carcinoma.
to observe the outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma patients under the combination treatment of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and CpG DNA
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and is the third leading cause of cancer that related death in the worldwide. Although, current most of doctors and laboratorians of HCC diagnoses bases are medical imaging such ultrasound, MRI, CT-scan and laboratory analyses tests for serum tumor markers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) which characterized by very low of sensitivity in the detection of HCC. Last two decades, scientists was focused researches of small molecules called MicroRNAs which are produced by human cells and can be released in the blood. MicroRNAs are class of (20 - 25 nucleotide in length) non-coding RNAs, and its emerging non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for cancer diagnosing, screening, monitoring treatment and to predict prognosis. A number of studies exposed an abnormal expression of human serum MicroRNAs in many tumors such as liver, pancreatic and colorectal carcinoma. Recently, MicroRNAs have a role in the development of HCC, but still it is unknown if these small molecules will be used as biomarker for diagnosis and survival of HCC. The aim of this study is to establish MicroRNAs as biomarkers for diagnostic tool of HCC patients and to compare to circulating levels of MicroRNAs in chronic liver diseases patients and health volunteers and those HCC patients and To determine the clinical utility of MicroRNAs as a diagnostic maker of hepatocellular carcinoma comparing with alpha fetoprotein the current marker of (HCC).
This project is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical observation the safety and efficacy that stage IV limited peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer patients accept hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy with CRS and systemic chemotherapy. With advanced-stage gastric patients of confined to the peritoneal as the research object, with median progression-free survival and overall survival, adverse events as the end points.
A Phase I/II, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK) Cell for Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) after Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE), Percutaneous Ethanol Injection Therapy (PEIT) or RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) Therapy.
