Filter by:Investigators designed a study of a multimodality approach: surgery followed by hypofractionated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using VMAT approach for patients with single, large brain metastases from solid primary tumor
The prognosis of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer has recently improved with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Although outcomes are further improved when early stage peritoneal metastases are treated, adjuvant HIPEC has not yet been thoroughly addressed. This prospective pilot study assessed feasibility, safety and efficacy of HIPEC performed simultaneously with primary curative surgery in colorectal cancer patients with primary tumor-related risk-factors for the development of metachronous peritoneal metastases.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of administering a single dose of trastuzumab into the artery for the treatment of brain metastasis(es) from HER2/neu positive breast cancer. This study will try to determine the best tolerated single dosage of trastuzumab administered into arteries by gradually increasing the dosage given to participants as the study progresses. Early participants will receive a dosage of 1 mg/kg. As more participants enroll into the study, this single dosage will be increased at designated levels up to 8 mg/kg, if it's determined to be safe to increase. Trastuzumab is a type of antibody, which is a protein used by the body's immune system to fight against pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. This antibody binds to cell receptors known as the HER2/neu tyrosine kinase receptor. These receptors are expressed in certain cancer subtypes such as breast cancer. By blocking signaling through this HER2/neu receptor, trastuzumab can slow down or stop the over-expression of the HER2/neu protein. Over-expression of HER2/neu has been shown to play a role in the development and progression of certain types of breast cancer. Therefore, by slowing down or stopping the expression of HER2/neu, investigators hope to slow down or stop the growth of metastasis(es) and increase the responsiveness to therapy.
This study is designed to determine outcome for patients with 5 or more central nervous system (CNS) metastatic lesions treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
The purpose of this prospective study is to investigate the degree of association between the volume of important pain-relevant structures in the brain and the size of the areas of secondary hyperalgesia.
This pilot clinical trial studies patients' genomic sequencing in determining specific treatments, also called Precision Medicine, in patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed by surgery. Examining the genetic code of a patient's tumor, a mutation (a change in the deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] sequence of a cell or gene) may be identified and matched with available treatment that targets the mutated gene or an alternative treatment that may provide benefit for the patient with the mutation identified. Precision medicine may impacts patient's response to treatment by targeting specific mutations and may increase survival and improve quality of life.
The aim of the study is to assess prospectively the impact of radiosurgery on the quality of life in patients with brain metastases.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and effect on quality of life of oral ibandronate (Bondronat) in participants with breast cancer and metastatic bone disease. The anticipated time on study treatment is 25 weeks, and the target sample size is 50 individuals.
In this study the investigators treat PM oligometastatic patients with SBRT. Our objective is to evaluate rate of local control of treated lesions in patients treated with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for lung metastases from STS.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of ibandronate (Bondronat), administered intravenously (IV) or orally (PO), in participants with malignant bone disease and moderate to severe pain. Participants will be randomized to receive ibandronate either as a 6-mg IV infusion every 3 to 4 weeks or a 50-mg tablet PO daily. Pain response and Karnofsky Performance Index (KPI) will be measured at intervals throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 4 months and the target sample size is 150 individuals.
