Filter by:The survival of patients with incurable gastroesophageal cancer can extend over a year with anticancer therapy. However, the number of patients with deteriorating quality of life in this patient group steadily decreases over time during the treatment. Potentially reversible causes related to deterioration of quality of life are diminished muscle mass, physical capacity and nutritional status. Therefore, interventions that can target these in order to maintain or improve quality of life are urgently needed. However, it is yet unknown whether improvement of physical capacity and nutritional status improves quality of life in patients with incurable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma after failure of first-line treatment. Since these patients are in a precarious situation, the benefits and harms of a combined exercise and nutritional intervention should be carefully evaluated.Therefore this study investigates the effect of a combined exercise and nutrition intervention compared to usual care on quality of life in incurable GAC patients after progression upon first-line treatment. A total of 196 patients with metastasized gastroesophageal cancer will be recruited and randomly allocated 1:1 to standard care or standard care plus a combined exercise and nutritional intervention.
The recurrence risk of patients with esophageal cancer was stratified by integrating different stages and pathological factors. The risk of recurrence was dynamically estimated for each group of patients, and the optimal follow-up strategy was developed based on the recurrence risk.
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of death due to cancer worldwide. Although the consensus on the surgical treatment has resulted in the improvement of curative effect during the past decades, controversies remained for the perioperative therapy of gastric cancer, especially in the selection of the optimal neoadjuvant regimens. Immunotherapy with anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody has demonstrated moderate efficacy in selected patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Hypofractionated radiotherapy (HypoRT) may act synergistically with immunotherapy to enhance antitumor responses. This phase II trial study want to exploit the efficacy and safety to give PD-1 antibody (Tislelizumab) with combination chemotherapy and HypoRT before surgery in treating adult patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
The aim of the study is to investigate inter-observer variation in gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation of oesophageal cancer on different imaging modalities - CT, PET CT and MR.Twenty-three consecutive patients with esophageal cancer treated with preoperative or curative chemoradiotherapy were selected. All patients had CT, PET CT and MR imaging in treatment position prior to radiotherapy.Five experienced observers from our institution will independently delineate GTV on CT alone, MR alone, PET CT alone, on co-registered CT and MR and co-registered PET CT and MR. Inter-observer agreement, expressed in generalized conformity index (CIgen) and mean volumes of GTV will be calculated per patient and imaging modality.
This Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of [Ga-68]-PNT6555 and [Lu-177]-PNT6555 in subjects with select solid tumors that have FAP over-expression, in order to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.
This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the antitumor activity, efficacy and safety of GEN-001 in combination with avelumab as a third line (3L) or greater line treatment which is not received the Standard of Care (SOC) for patients with PD-L1 positive advanced GC/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma who are not received cancer immunotherapy regimens as mono or combination therapy.
This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center Phase Ib/II study to exploratorily evaluate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of regorafenib and nivolumab plus chemotherapy in patients with unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric/ gastroesophageal junction/esophageal adenocarcinoma.
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (MK-7119) in Chinese participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) advanced breast cancer, gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEC), and colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic tumor PALB2 (tPALB2) mutation.
This phase II trial studies the effect of chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery in treating patients with esophageal or esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that works by harnessing the immune system to attack cancer. Lenvatinib is an anti-cancer drug that works by stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery may kill more tumor cells.
