Filter by:In this multiple-center phase II study, the aim is to evaluate the clinical outcome of reduced intensity conditioning regimen with fludarabine (150mg/m2), busulfan (6.4mg/kg) and melphalan (100mg/m2) in patients with myeloid malignancies including AML, MDS and CMML >=55 years.
The data will be obtained from 10 tertiary centers located in Poland (Cracow - coordinating center, Warsaw - 3 centers, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Gdansk, Poznan) and 5 foreign centers. The analyses will include patients with rectal cancer operated on between 2013-2019. A database in MS Excel is prepared that consists of following data: - Type of neoadjuvant treatment (if any) - Time-interval between the end of neoadjuvant treatment and surgery - Type of surgery - Staging of rectal cancer i.e. (y)pTNM - Number of retrieved lymph nodes - Number of lymph nodes with metastases - R classification (R0, R1, R2) - Preoperative medications (metformin, statins, NSAIDs, anticoagulants) - Recurrence date and type (local, systemic, both diagnosed at the same time) - Date of death or date of last follow-up visit The aims of the study are following: 1. Establishing whether neoadjuvant treatment (PSCR or chemoradiotherapy) influences number of retrieved lymph nodes in rectal cancer 2. Establishing whether time-interval between the end of PSCR and surgery influences lymph node yield 3. Establishing the prognostic value of lymph node ratio - validation of the previously calculated cutoff point at the level of 0.41 4. Determining independent prognostic factors in rectal cancer - in particular related to medications taken before the operation, metformin and anti diabetic drugs in the first place
The evidence on the value of aspirin, statins, metformin, beta-blocking ACE inhibitors agents as chemopreventive agents in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is limited. The aim of this study is to assess whether regular use of aspirin, statins, metformin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors and beta-blocking agents use, before diagnosis, after surgery and in neo-adjuvant treatment setting, can increase rate of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The secondary aim is to evaluate if there is any difference in terms of "chemoprevention" between aspirin, statins, metformin and beta-blocking as chemopreventive agents, and if their prolonged daily use can positively influence the chemopreventive action. 400 patients with the following inclusion criteria will be enrolled in 3 years: 1. cytological or histological diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in any portion of the gland, with or without metastases in other sites 2. patient age between 18 and 90 years 3. any medicine or drug in the daily patient therapy 4. Patients undergone to primary chemoradiotherapy or surgical resection, followed by adjuvant therapy or preceded by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, are included in the study Anamnestic, clinical and pathological data, included data on the aspirin, statins, metformin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors and beta-blocking agents assumption will be collected during the first visit with the surgeon. A database managed by a dedicated data manager will be created to collect and analyse data. Patients will be followed for at least 24 months The study will last overall 5 years.
Pancreatic metastases are a rare entity. In cases of metastatic renal carcinoma (RCC) it can present as isolated pancreatic metastasis, considering the possibility of surgical resection. Goals: - Define survival after resection of pancreatic cancer metastases renal in a wide range of our country. - Identify predictive survival factors Methods: Retrospective multicenter study in which cases of pancreatic resection due to renal cancer metastases.
To verify the clinical efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in treating local advanced cervical cancer, present study was designed to investigate the clinical results of bevacizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in local advanced cervical cancer
This is prospective cohort study. All the patients with primary cervical cancer in the future three years in Peking Union Medical College Hospital will be included in this study. Before and after the major therapy (including at least radical hysterectomy and/or radiotherapy), the patients accept (1) the questionnaires survey about quality of life; (2) urodynamic testing; (3) rectum dynamics testing and (4) ovarian reserve function. The survival outcomes (disease-free survival and overall survival) will be supplemented as secondary objectives.
Introduction: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) located in the jejunum or ileum (JI-GIST) are considered of worse prognosis compared to other locations. It has been suggested that this dogma should be revised. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of jejunoileal GISTs and its prognosis; and to compare them with gastric GISTs in the era of imatinib. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical histories of all the patients diagnosed with GISTs between January 2000 and November 2016. Clinical and pathological data, as well recurrence, metastatic, disease-free survival (DFS) as overall (OS) rates of patients with JI-GIST or gastric GIST (G-GIST) were collected and compared.
For now, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is routinely performed for T3N1-2M0 rectal cancer. However, there are lots of complications following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, such as Wound-related complications, anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, sexual dysfunction, testicular or ovary failure. Patients undergoing resection for rectal cancer had low rates of local recurrence and long disease-free survival regardless of whether an APR, CAA or low AR was performed. The main purpose of preoperative radiotherapy is to lower the local recurrence. For the T3N1-2M0 rectal cancer with negative circumferential resection margin based on MRI assessment, we suppose might not necessary to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, for operation can achieve the negative circumferential resection margin.
Worldwide, breast cancer is the most incident and prevalent cancer among women. Despite advances in the treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC) during the past decade, adjuvant systemic therapy has yield little progression for such patients. ABC remains an incurable disease, responsible for approximate 40,000 deaths annually and a median life expectancy of no more than 3 years. The NCCN guidelines clearly define routine adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for the early breast cancer, however, for the patients with recurrence and metastasis, the choice of treatment options is not clear. In this trial, we choose the patients with disease progression who received anthracycline and taxane adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The patients received vinorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles. Then the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD) will be assigned to 3 groups, one group will receive the original regiment for 3 cycles to maintain treatment, one group will receive the vinorelbine for 6 cycles, the other group will receive the capecitabine for 6 cycles. Trasuzumab will be used to patients if HER-2 positive. Endocrine therapy will be used if the hormone receptors positive after the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS), the secondary endpoint is to assess the overall survival (OS).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concurrent capecitabine-based long-term radiotherapy followed by 4 cycles XELOX pre- a delayed TME compared with 6 cycles XELOX post- a Regular Timing TME in patients with high-risk rectal cancer defined by MRI.
