Filter by:Patients with cancers that are sensitive to radiotherapy treatment and/or patients who have experienced severe acute/ late side effects to radiotherapy will be recruited to the study. Blood and/or matched tumour-normal tissue pairs will be collected. Blood and/or tissue samples will be processed and studied for genetic and biochemical markers that have potential to be used for predicting sensitivity to radiation.
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) leads to adenomas and eventual adenocarcinomas in colon and less frequently, duodenum. Chemopreventive strategies have been studied in FAP patients to delay the development of adenomas and cancers. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor have shown the regression of colorectal and duodenal adenomas in FAP patients. However, these drugs showed gastrointestinal damage and cardiovascular risks, and new preventive strategies are needed. Niclosamide, an anti-helminthic drug, has recently been suggested to have a suppressive effect on tumorigenesis via inhibition of Wnt pathway, and have no significant safety issues. The investigators devised a double-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of niclosamide on polyps of colorectum and duodenum in FAP patients.
This study investigates if head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can be tracked with cell-free tumor DNA, RNA or HPV-DNA, in blood samples from patients referred with suspicion of cancer, and if it can be used in detecting recurrence in patients already diagnosed and treated for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
This is single-center, prospective, non-randomized study
This is a Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of nimotuzumab versus cisplatin combined with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in treating patients with stage II-III nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The study is to observe the efficacy and toxicity of demethylating drug decitabine and cisplatin induced chemotherapy for 3 cycles followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma,followed up for 2 years, observing the 2-year survival rate and variation of degrees of methylation before and after treatment,providing clinical basis for the clinical study of stage II-III.
The study assessed the clinical efficacy, and safety of the combination of Nimotuzumab administered concomitantly with intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) in patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer.
PET/MR in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Radiation induced oral mucositis which may result in reduced quality of life is commonly seen during radiotherapy, especially combined with chemotherapy. This study is a prospective, single center, and exploratory study. Two contour methods of oral mucosal will be used in this study. All detail information will be recorded prospectively. The aim of this study is to explore predictive factors of acute radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with new precise radiotherapy (intensity modulated radiotherapy or tomography radiotherapy) by using different dosimetric parameters and clinically relevant variables.
Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) is more effective than fluorouracil plus cisplatin in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic NPC (R/M-NPC). GC is the standard first-line chemotherapy regimen for this population. However, the median progression-free survival was only 7 months for GC regimen. Anlotinib is a kinase inhibitor of receptor tyrosine with multi-targets, especially for VEGFR2、VEGFR3、PDGFRβ and c-Kit, which has strong effect of anti-angiogenesis. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of anlotinib plus GC as first-line treatment for R/M-NPC.
