Filter by:Many studies focusing on breast conserving surgery have affirmed the cosmetic effectiveness and oncologic success of oncoplastic methods and even modified variants of these methods reinforced with videoscopic applications. However, primary lumpectomy subjects in these studies are mainly patients who have already received the diagnosis of malignancy before the surgery. There is not much comprehensive work reported for patients without the diagnosis of malignancy. In this regard, the investigators believe the intent of the innovative oncoplastic intervention to the breast is underestimated in terms of providing diagnosis simultaneously constituting the basic component of surgical treatment. Thus, the purpose of this prospectively planned study is to provide and investigate the outcomes of an evidence-based oncoplastic approach algorithm for excisional breast biopsies.
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of afatinib dimaleate when given together with capecitabine in treating patients with solid tumors, pancreatic cancer, or biliary cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment and has not responded to previous treatment. Afatinib dimaleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving afatinib dimaleate together with capecitabine may be a better treatment for solid tumors, pancreatic cancer, or biliary cancer.
Study to assess the potential effects of lurbinectedin (PM01183) at a therapeutic dose on the duration of the QTc interval, measured by electrocardiograms (ECGs), to characterize the PM01183 plasma concentration/QTc relationship, and to explore related ECG parameters in patients with selected solid tumors.
This pilot research trial studies minority patients receiving care at the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University (CCCWFU) to see what their attitudes are regarding the healthcare they receive and how much they know about clinical trials. Clinical trials are an important way to test healthcare treatments and need diverse participants to be most effective. Studying what minority patients think about healthcare and clinical trials may help researchers learn more about why minorities are less likely to enroll in clinical trials and create programs to help increase their enrollment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of wild-type reovirus (viral therapy) when given with sargramostim in treating younger patients with high grade brain tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. A virus, called wild-type reovirus, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells. Sargramostim may increase the production of blood cells and may promote the tumor cell killing effects of wild-type reovirus. Giving wild-type reovirus together with sargramostim may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of self-administered perioperative guided imagery to reduce perioperative distress in gynecologic oncology patients undergoing surgical management for a presumed cancer diagnosis.
This phase Ib combination study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of radium Ra 223 dichloride in combination with paclitaxel in cancer subjects with bone lesions with special focus on Grade 3/4 incidence of neutro- and/or thrombocytopenia and exploration of the mode of interaction (i.e. additive or synergistic interaction) between the selected chemotherapy and radium Ra 223 dichloride with regard to myelosuppression.
Participants in this study have been diagnosed with a tumor such as a carcinoid, neuroendocrine tumor, neuroblastoma, Ewing's sarcoma, or brain tumor that has cells which carry somatostatin receptors. The purpose of this research study is to see if the tumor can be identified using a special procedure called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and how the results of this imaging procedure will change the management of the tumor.
This clinical trial is designed to compare the effect of single postoperative intravesical chemotherapy instillation versus maintenance therapy on reducing bladder cancer recurrence after surgery for UTUC.
The purposes of this study are - to test the hypothesis that elimination or reduction of dietary animal proteins leads to an improved prognosis in tumor patients - to estimate the effect size and thus to enable sample size calculations for further studies - to test the feasibility and tolerance of different diets, especially a vegan diet, in cancer patients and to proof that a vegan diet does not lead to a deterioration of health, tumor progression or to malnutrition - to test the online platform as a study platform - to test validity of self reported and online generated data
