Filter by:The purpose of this is study is to assess the efficacy of pre-operative intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) (Genentech, South San Francisco CA) in improving visual acuity, reducing operative time, complications, intra-operative and post-operative hemorrhage following small gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (23-gauge, 25-gauge or 27-gauge ) compared to small gauge PPV (23-gauge, 25-gauge or 27-gauge) alone in eyes with tractional retinal detachment (TRD) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Hypothesis: Preoperative IVB may be beneficial for membrane dissection in diabetic tractional retinal detachment with minimally invasive vitreoretinal surgery (23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy [TSV]). In addition, post-operative rebleeding may be decreased.
The investigators hypothesize that a low number of SCC in OTR will metastasize.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic study that makes pictures of organs of the body using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses that can not be felt. The purpose of this study is to determine if new imaging methods can help tumor evaluation in the brain. The extra images will be obtained using diffusion and perfusion MRI techniques to assess early treatment response in patients with brain metastasis, and will be compared to methods currently being used.
In this study, the investigators assessed whether intraoperative Intraportal infusion of 5-FU and oxaliplatin is able to prevent liver metastasis in patients receiving curative colorectal cancer resection.
In this study, the investigators assessed the effect of avastin in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of RAS mutant-type, unresectable colorectal liver-limited metastases
Cancer which spreads to the brain (brain metastases) is a common and significant problem. Historically, whole-brain radiotherapy has been used to treat these patients but has a negative effect on cognition. Radiosurgery is an alternative treatment with potential for fewer cognitive side effects. The impact of radiosurgery alone on the cognitive function of patients with multiple brain metastases is not well studied. We propose a pilot study at the Winnipeg Centre for Gamma Knife Surgery to examine this issue.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety (defined as number of participants experiencing ≥ 5% toxicity at 12 months post treatment) of stereotactic ablative fractionated radiotherapy versus radiosurgery for oligometastatic neoplasia to the lung.
The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of the Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU device for the palliation of pain in patients with bone metastases. Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) uses ultrasound to palliate pain caused by bone metastases. The main palliative mechanism of the method is due to local bone denervation, caused by the heat denaturation of the periosteum layer in the treated area. The importance of this therapy is that it offers a non-invasive, focal therapy, avoiding side-effects to surrounding normal tissue that occur with radiation therapy or the need for needle insertion as with radio-frequency(RF)ablation. The study hypothesis is that MR-HIFU will be effective in treating the pain associated with bone metastases
The investigators assessed whether the addition of a preoperative regimen of Bevacizumab regimen to improves R0 resection rate and survival among patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer with liver metastasis.
This is a single-armed, open-labeled and single-centered study of everolimus in selective patients with metastatic melanoma for evaluation of the efficacy and safety. The study objective is to evaluate efficacy profile of everolimus. The patients who comply with the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The estimated recruiting duration is 18 months. Everolimus will be given in the dose of 10 mg orally each day at lease 6 months unless disease progression or intolerance. The follow-up is till death(at least 1 year).
