Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies cryosurgery and radiation therapy in treating patients with painful bone metastases. Cryosurgery kills tumor cells by freezing them. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving cryosurgery together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
Antalgic treatment of painful bone metastases by US-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).
The stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) literature focuses on clinical outcomes in the adult population. However, SBRT has a particularly strong rationale for application in pediatrics given that high biologically effective doses have been shown to increase control in histologies, such as sarcoma, which are common in the pediatrics population. With stereotactic radiation therapy techniques, a reduction in normal tissue dose surrounding the target lesion of interest may also be accomplished resulting in lower toxicity. Given that pediatric patients with sarcomas, presenting with limited metastases in lung and bone, are still considered to be a curable population with aggressive local therapy, SBRT could have a significant impact on outcomes in oligometastatic patients who may be otherwise unresectable.
A multi-center, non-random, open study ,to observe efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus Oxaliplatin based multidrug chemotherapy as conversion therapy for patients with previously untreated unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
This project is aim to explore non-increased-intracranial-pressure symptomatic brain metastases of NSCLC, and if the OS of secondary brain radiotherapy after recurrence with Erlotinib is better than Erlotinib with concurrent brain radiotherapy. Treatment group are treated with Erlotinib until brain tumor progression, then gave brain radiotherapy, and continued to take Erlotinib till extracranial lesions progression. Control group are Erlotinib with concurrent brain radiotherapy, and continued to take Erlotinib after radiotherapy until recurrence or termination for other reasons.
The purpose of this study is to test a newly-developed outpatient clinic and community-based care intervention called SUCCEED (Secondary stroke prevention by Uniting Community and Chronic care model teams Early to End Disparities) for improving control of stroke risk factors among stroke patients in the Los Angeles County "safety net", and to measure the costs of running such an intervention, relative to usual care.
This study tries to evaluate the role of chemoradiation with capecitabine and bevacizumab in oligometastatic patients neither being progressive nor resectable after chemotherapy.
The study is a prospective, randomly controlled phase II trial, designed to test the efficacy, safety and neurocognitive outcomes of a medical device, the NovoTTF-100A, in the treatment of NSCLC patients with controlled systemic disease, following optimal standard local treatment for 1-5 brain metastases (BM). The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
Although it is being increasingly used off protocol, there is minimal data regarding the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery to the tumor bed following surgical resection of metastatic lesions to the spine. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate radiographic local recurrence in the tumor bed following stereotactic radiosurgery compared to the expected rate following conventional radiation therapy.
The primary aim of the present study was to examine the haemodynamic changes in primary hypertension and secondary hypertension (renal diseases, endocrine diseases, obesity-associated hypertension) with a non-invasive haemodynamic measurement protocol utilizing radial pulse wave analysis and whole-body impedance cardiography in both supine position and during head-up tilt. For comparison, haemodynamics of subjects with chronic fatigue syndrome will also be recorded.
