Patients with solid cancers may develop cerebral metastases, requiring whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Furthermore, in several cases, a secondary course of WBRT might be required due to intracerebral recurrence and limited options for alternative treatments, besides optimal supportive care (OSC). There have been few reports on re-irradiation of the whole brain, but further evaluation especially of the optimal dose concept is warranted. Especially, the efficacy compared to OSC has to date not been evaluated. The present trial aims at evaluating the efficacy of a repeated WBRT with a total dose of 20 Gy in 10 fractions compared to OSC. Primary endpoint is time to WHO performance status (PS) deterioration to more than 3 (duration of functional independence). Secondary endpoints are quality of life, overall survival, radiation-induced toxicity and functional independence assessed by the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL)1.
This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating tumour cells (CTC) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy due to gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to the peritoneum.
Multiple articles report that thermal ablation is a safe and effective treatment for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) ≤3cm. However efficacy of thermal ablation decreases with increasing lesion size. Guidelines state that thermal ablation is the preferred option for unresectable CRLM ≤3cm and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) when thermal ablation is not possible. It remains uncertain what local treatment method should be recommended for unresectable CRLM of 3-5cm.
The aim of this study is to detect bone metastases by PET/CT examination in cancer patients.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Sweden with an incidence of 8000 per year. The role of surgery for distant breast cancer metastasis beyond local lymph nodes remains controversial even though some reports suggest there might be a survival benefit from resection of oligometastases in the liver. The purpose of this multicentre randomized clinical trial is to evaluate local treatment for breast cancer liver metastases, compared to systemic oncological treatment only. The primary endpoint is time to death from any cause, which will be compared using cox proportional hazard regression. The secondary endpoints are three years survival, progression-free survival, median overall survival and quality of life. The aim is also to evaluate overall safety and predictive factors for survival during oncological and surgical treatment. The overall purpose is to ameliorate treatment for advanced breast cancer.
This study evaluates the addition of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the combination of binimetinib + encorafenib + pembrolizumab in the treatment of BRAFⱽ⁶⁰⁰ mutation-positive melanoma with brain metastases (MBM).
Brain metastases are a source of much morbidity and mortality in adults with primary solid malignant tumors. With improvements in systemic therapy that prolong survival but have limited central nervous system penetration, patients with brain metastases are at increasing risk of developing and experiencing long-term side effects from treatment of brain metastases. The overarching goal of this study is to better understand the determinants of RT-associated changes in white and gray matter function and associated neurocognitive decline.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for Malignant Cutaneous Tumors
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol oral solution in pediatric participants of ages 0 to 9 years with SHPT associated with stage 5 CKD receiving Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) or Hemodialysis (HD). The 24-week study is divided into two 12-week dosing periods (Dosing Period 1 followed by Dosing Period 2).
