Filter by:In this case-only study, the investigators try to define a novel staging parameter, the Primary Tumor Burden Score (PTBS).
This study determines whether a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) 4-point scoring system may predict overall survival for anal squamous cell cancer patients. A 4-point scoring system involving imaging scans may help to predict how patients with anal squamous cell cancer respond to chemoradiation therapy.
Background: The investigators aimed to compare the oncological results of patients with early stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) treated with Transoral Laryngeal Surgery (TOLS) and Radiotheraphy (RT). Methods: The patients were divided into two groups as TOLS (Group 1) and RT (Group 2) according to the treatment method. Both groups were compared with each other in terms of local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, 3 and 5-year overall survival, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival and laryngectomy-free survival rates. Survival analyses was made by Kaplan Meier product limit estimation. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
This is one randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase III study. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of JS001 combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin(TP regimen )with placebo combined with TP regimen in patients with advanced or metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC )who have not received systemic chemotherapy previously.
This is single arm a Phase 2, single center study of talimogene laherparepvec (TVEC) to treat low risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC).
The purpose of this study is to examine how different messages about risk of melanoma can impact the way people protect themselves against developing these diseases.
Cancer - including esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) - is a disease of the elderly but little is known about the biology and progression of cancers in these patients. While most patients receive chemotherapy and/or chemo-radiation as first treatment, no treatment standard for following treatments has been established so far and there is a clear unmet medical need, especially for elderly patients. Hence, this study assesses the efficacy and safety of two experimental immunotherapy regimens (Nivolumab monotherapy or Nivolumab/Ipilimumab combination) in elderly patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer.
The human oral cavity is a diverse habitat that contains approximately 700 prokaryotic species. The oral microbiome is comprised of 44% named species, 12% isolates representing unnamed species, and 44% phylotypes known only from 16S rRNA based cloning studies (http://www.homd.org/). Species from 11 phyla have been identified: Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Spirochaetes, Fusobacteria, TM7, Synergistetes, Chlamydiae, Chloroflexi and SR1 (http://www.homd.org/). Because these observations have been mainly based on data generated from traditional Sanger sequencing, the diversity of oral microbiome is highly likely underestimated. Application of high throughput sequencing to the oral microbiome similar to the scale of the microbiome studies of other body sites (GI tract, skin, and vagina) under the Human Microbiome Project is necessary to obtain data essential for understanding the diversity and community structure of the oral microbiome in health and disease.
A small group of skin cancers of the head and neck, called resected cutaneous squamous carcinomas, are more aggressive than most cancers of this type, even after being treated with standard therapy. This trial will use stronger treatment to look at the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of combining a drug called Pembrolizumab with radiation after a cancer has already been treated to suppress secondary tumor formation in high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Primary Objective To assess safety by looking at the people with dose limiting responses
Investigators will determine whether a treatment paradigm of up-front neck dissection, to more accurately pathologically stage patients, minimizing the number of treatment modalities in patients with low risk oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, can improve quality of life.
