Filter by:Patients with Myeloma or CLL with severe secondary hypogammaglobinemia and recurrent infections will be included in this study; for whom an IgSC treatment was prescribed. The IgSC prescription will be the decision of the treating physician. Patient care and follow up will be performed according to the current clinical practice and the recommendations of HAS.
This study will be a non-randomized phase II trial for patients with one to six brain metastases, at least one of which is appropriate for surgical resection. Upon registration, patients will be assigned to receive neo-adjuvant stereotactic radiosurgery (NASRS).
At the time of diagnosis, approximately 60%-80% of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer are found with cervical lymph node metastasis. Cervical nodal metastasis is an important prognostic factor in hypopharyngeal cancer. Induction chemotherapy is frequently used in advanced hypopharynx cancer. However, sometimes CR was obtained at the tumor's primary site but not in the palpable lymph nodes in the neck, the large cervical lymph node metastasis poorly responded to induction chemotherapy in a considerable percentage of patients. At present, patients with primary tumor achieved CR preferred to receive definitive radiotherapy no matter cervical lymph node metastasis SD or progression. But, radiotherapy was poor effective to the big cervical lymph node metastasis, because the inner of big cervical lymph node metastasis was hypoxic and necrosis. The investigators conducted a prospective, randomised trial to compare neck dissection with definitive radiotherapy for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer cervical lymph node metastasis with poor response to induction chemotherapy.
This study evaluates hippocampus-sparing whole-brain radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost for patients with multiple brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoint is intracranial progression free survival, and secondary endpoints are verbal neurocognitive function, overall survival, adverse events according to CTCAE v4.03, and quality of life.
Background: Many people with colorectal cancer get liver metastases. Standard treatment for this is a combination of chemotherapy drugs. Directing the chemotherapy to the liver may be effective. A device that does this a pump that delivers drugs over 2 weeks at constant rate into the hepatic artery. The person s body temperature causes the drug to flow from the pump. Researchers want to see if this helps people with colorectal metastases to the liver. Objective: To study the effectiveness of a hepatic artery infusion pump at treating colorectal metastases to the liver. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with colorectal metastases to the liver Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Heart, blood, and urine tests Scans Participants will stay in the hospital a few days. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in an artery into the liver. The catheter will be attached to the pump. That will lie under the skin on the abdomen. It will be small and participants will be able to feel it. Participants will get treatment in 28-day cycles. Every Day 1, they will have physical exam, symptom review, and blood tests. Every 2 weeks, they will come to the clinic to get chemotherapy by a catheter or port. Every 12 weeks, they will have a scan. Tissue samples may be taken during the study. When they finish the drug, participants may have the pump removed. They will repeat the Day 1 tests. They will be called every 6 months to see how they are doing.
The purpose of this study is to identify potential risk factors for and determine the rate of pathological fracture for patients which having spine metastases from breast cancer and be defined as potentially unstable (SINS 7-12) according to the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS). The investigators' analysis will provide robust data about the development of spinal instability and help identify the optimal timing of local surgery treatment.
This is a prospective study investigating the disease course of patients with colorectal cancer that have had their cancer spread to their liver. The aim of this study is find potential biomarkers for disease recurrence and therapeutic targets for prognostic information.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether our own made predictive algorithm can be used as a clinical practical decision support for patients with NSCLC spinal metastasis. The scoring system consists of the use of EGFR-TKI, KPS, Age, SCC, CA125 and smoking history. By predicting survival doctors could determine which patients are suitable for palliative therapy.
This will be an open-label, single-arm, rater-blinded, multicenter, diagnostic phase 1/2 study to assess safety and diagnostic performance of Ga-68-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography / computer tomography (PET/CT) imaging to detect tumour tissue in patients with newly diagnosed PCA and a high risk for metastasis. As standard of truth, comprehensive histopathology covering prostate and the tributary pelvic lymph node system, will be used. Therefore, only patients scheduled for RP with EPLND (as part of their standard of care) will be eligible. Patients will be recruited at up to 11 uro-oncological sites in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with access to a radiopharmaceutical laboratory, experienced to prepare 68Ga-labelled compounds, and high-quality PET/CT imaging. Upon histological confirmation of PCA, pre-operative staging will be performed according to European Association of Urology (EAU) guideline [Mottet et al. 2015] (to include pelvic MRI or CT and a 99mTc-bone scan), to establish the indication for RP with EPLND. If the indication is confirmed, patients will be invited to participate in the present study. After consenting, review of inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as screening investigations will be performed by the uro-oncologist (day 0). Thereafter, patients are referred to the collaborating nuclear medicine department for tracer injection, imaging, and post-dose safety evaluations (day 1). Subsequent investigations (day 2 and at end of study) will be made by the uro-oncologist or experienced nuclear medicine physician. Study participation ends on day 7. Routine surgery (RP with EPLND) will be performed after end of study, but no later than 42 days after study inclusion. This sequence allows adequate characterisation of tracer safety, while at the same avoiding unnecessary delay of, or confounding safety signals from therapy. In total, 150 evaluable patients will be included to receive a single 68Ga dose of 150 MBq (± 50 MBq), administered as i.v. infusion. Due to an assumed dropout rate of 15%, up to 173 patients will be included in study.
