Filter by:The management of locally advanced cervical cancer (Figo >IB) is based on radiochemotherapy (RCT) followed by brachytherapy. At present there is no personalized treatment, all patients undergoing radiochemotherapy will follow a conventional treatment by external radiotherapy (46 Gy in 23 sessions associated with cisplatin (CDDP) weekly) and brachytherapy to achieve a total equivalent biological dose around 80-90 Gy).The efficacy of this treatment has been proven for most patients, almost 80% being in complete response after RCT. Nevertheless, on an individual scale, there remains a significant variation in the tumor response, with patients who respond from the first week of treatment, "early responders" or, on the contrary, others who present significant tumor residues after external beam radiotherapy.Various macroscopic tumor volume (GTV) response patterns have been identified based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at diagnosis and MRI before brachytherapy, implying very different clinical target volumes for brachytherapy technique. The difference in tumor volume response has been identified as having a major impact on treatment response. This is the first study attempting to evaluate tumor response in real time during radiochemotherapy treatment. Knowing the tumor response during treatment will make it possible to modify the management of locally advanced cervical cancer, several therapeutic options might then be discussed depending on the early response to treatment: dose de-escalation for early responders, reduction of time total treatment, personalization of brachytherapy management (technique and dose). This observational study will allow rapid identification of responder and non-responder patients and might be used as a basis for personalized treatment strategies
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide and the mortality ranks first in the world. In recent years, with the development of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the overall survival of lung cancer patients has improved significantly. However, the inoperable advanced tumor remains the main reason for the poor prognosis of lung cancer. Thus, we aim to carry out this single-arm, prospective study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of surgery after conversion therapy for locally advanced and advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
TEDOPAM is a randomized (1.1.1) non-comparative phase II study. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of OSE2101 alone or in combination with nivolumab followed by FOLFIRI reintroduction, versus FOLFIRI as maintenance therapy in patients with advanced PDAC after induction therapy with FOLFIRINOX.
Although the incidence of gastric cancer has been substantially declining for several decades, it is still the sixth most common cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is still the only curative option for gastric cancer. However, most patients are unable to undergo surgery because of late stage, unresectable disease. The prognosis for these patients is very poor. Although the Magic trial showed that perioperative chemotherapy can increase the rate of curative surgery and significantly improve overall survival in patients with operable gastric or lower esophageal adenocarcinomas, no pCR events were reported in this trial. The intervention arm in PREACT consists of pre-operative chemotherapy, pre-operative radiochemotherapy, surgery and post-operative chemotherapy. The control arm consists of pre-operative chemotherapy, surgery, and post-operative chemotherapy. The primary purpose of PREACT is to investigate whether the addition of radiochemotherapy to chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone in the pre-operative setting in improving disease free survival in patients with locally advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.
