Filter by:Background: Colorectal neuroendocrine carcinomas (CRNECs) are highly aggressive tumours with poor prognosis and low incidence. To date, the genomic landscape and molecular pathway alterations have not been elucidated. Methods: Tissue sections and clinical information were collected as an in-house cohort (2010-2020). Large-scale genomic and genetic panels were applied to identify the genomic and genetic alterations of CRNEC. Through the depiction of the genomic landscape and transcriptome profile, we compared the difference between CRNEC and CR neuroendocrine tumours (CRNETs). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and immunofluorescence (IF) staining were performed to confirm the genetic alterations.
Objective: is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of lncRNA MALAT1 as a potential salivary biomarker of OSCC as well as assessment of the salivary expression level of miRNA 124 which is targeted by MALAT1. Materials and Methods: Saliva Samples were collected for the quantitative determination of salivary "MALAT1 and mi RNA -124" using quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction technique for the two study groups, Group A: 20 patients with a diagnosis suggestive of OSCC and Group B: 20 age-and-sex-matched healthy individuals, as normal controls.
The study goal is to evaluate the effectiveness in clinical practice of Avelumab as first line maintenance therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma, who have not progressed after first line platinum-based treatment. Study is performed at national hospitals from approximately 22 different sites and expecting to recruit 120 patients. Patients understanding the nature of the study by providing their informed consent prior to participation. - Patients of both sexes diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma, stage IV disease before first line with carboplatin/cisplatin-based chemotherapy. No disease progression after four-six cycles of ChT according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor with a treatment free interval of 4-10 weeks before Avelumab initiation date. - Patients who started Avelumab as maintenance therapy in first line after 21/Jan./2021 and before 27/Apr./2022 (both dates included).
This is a single arm study to evaluate the safety and biodistribution of 18F-labeled RD2 PET/CT Imaging in patients with small liver carcinoma.
Due to lacking of evidence on surveillance for gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (G-NEC), this study aimed to determine the optimal postsurgical surveillance strategy for G-NEC patients and compare its cost-effectiveness with traditional surveillance strategies.
This study aimed to examine if self-paced learning with a novel digital patient-case-based educational platform can increase primary care physicians' diagnostic accuracy of malignant and benign skin lesions on both the level of benign/malignant and the diagnosis level. Secondarily the study aimed to investigate the time spent in reaching this change in proficiency.
This study is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective, medical chart review of patients with metastatic renal cell cancer(mRCC) treated with avelumab plus axitinib as a first-line therapy in Japan between 20 December 2019 and 17 October 2022. All decisions regarding clinical management and treatment of the participating patients were made by the investigator as part of standard care in real-world clinical setting and were not contingent upon the patient's participation in the study. Data will be collected if available per study site.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 90% of primary liver cancers and represents a growing health problem worldwide. Most patients present locally advanced disease and are candidates for palliative transarterial locoregional treatment. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) using 90Y has been used for more than a decade for patients with advanced disease. The use of 166Ho could offer a more personalized approach in terms of imaging and dosimetry. Aim: to evaluate the feasibility and safety of TARE using 166Ho in a selected population of HCC patients and assess the biological peripheral response to this therapy. Materials and methods: In this open-label, prospective, non-randomized, singlecenter pilot study, 20 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma will undergo TARE using 166Ho. The primary outcome is the feasibility of 166Ho radioembolization as well as the assessment of safety and toxicity profiles (CTAE V5.0). Secondary outcomes include the evaluation of efficacy of 166Ho radioembolization in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, according to mRECIST and metabolic criteria, as well as the impact on the tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), assessment of biodistribution/dosimetry using a "scout dose" and time to progression (TTP). A substudy will assess the hepatic function using 99mTc-IDA hepato-biliary scintigraphy (HBS) and the comparison between "pre-scout" HBS and HBS just after "scout dose". Finally, blood samples will be collected at different time points in order to explore the biological peripheral response to these therapies. Perspectives: The newly developed 166Ho-microspheres have distinctive advantages over the existing 90Ymicrospheres with improved dosimetry that represents a prerequisite for optimal safety and efficacy.
In this study, various health care professionals will follow an E-learning module in which BCC detection on OCT is explained. Thereafter, the participants will test their skill by assessing OCT-scans. Their performance will be monitored using cumulative-sum analysis. After completion, newly trained OCT assessors will test their diagnostic accuracy for BCC detection on OCT in a exploratory study. The trainability, amount of required training and diagnostic accuracy will be compared between dermatologist and non-dermatologists.
A patient decision aid (PDA) was tested in a population of patients with superficial basal cell carcinoma. This study evaluates whether the use of a PDA improved outcomes like decisional conflict and knowledge.
