Filter by:This study learns if depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing (thought patterns that prompt people to expect the worst) are associated with chronic pain after surgery among patients who are scheduled to have cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy. Information from this study may improve the understanding of persistent and chronic postsurgical pain integrating multiple layers of biological and behavioral sciences.
This study will investigate the tumor-associated vasculature of patients with solid tumors. The investigators will use a technology known as intravital microscopy (IVM) in order to visualize in real-time the vessels associated with solid tumors. The IVM observations may determine if an individual patient's tumor vessels would be amenable to receiving systemic therapy, based on the functionality of the vessels.
This randomized study examines how well zinc works in improving quality of life in patients with gastrointestinal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery who are receiving chemotherapy. Zinc may help to improve patient's quality of life by preventing zinc deficiency.
Gastric carcinoma (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer death throughout the world. In previous multi-center study, we have found that the prevalence of GDNF family receptor alpha 1(GFRA1), serum response factor (SRF), and ZNF382 methylation alterations were inversely and coordinately associated with GC metastasis and the patients' overall survival throughout discovery and testing cohorts in China, Japan and Korea. The present cohort study is to investigate whether methylation of those genes can predict the metastasis and prognosis of GC.
Apatinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and it's anti-angiogenesis effect has been viewed in preclinical tests. The investigators' phase I study has shown that the drug's toxicity is manageable and the maximum tolerable daily dose is 850 mg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib can improve progression free survival compared with placebo in patients with metastatic gastric carcinoma who failed two lines of chemotherapy.
