Filter by:Using the population-based data sources in Iceland and the well-characterized AGES-Reykjavik cohort, our overarching aims are on exploring whether pre-diagnostic serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) among older individuals living in Iceland were associated with survival after cancer diagnosis. We also wanted to assess the risk of being diagnosed with cancer in association with 25(OH)D levels. In this population living just south of the arctic circle, vitamin D levels largely depend on dietary- and supplemental sources.
Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is one of the most distressing side effects for patients. Scalp cooling can prevent or minimise CIA in approximately half of all patients, depending on many factors, e.g. type and dosage of chemotherapy. High rates of success are seen in patients treated with taxanes, up to 80-90%. Previous research has shown comparable results of scalp cooling in docetaxel-treated patients when shortening the post-infusion cooling time (PICT) from the initial standard of 90 minutes to 45- and 20 minutes. A shorter PICT is an advantage for both the patient, who can spend less time in the hospital, as well for the logistics at oncological departments. Paclitaxel and docetaxel are both classical taxanes, that share similar mechanisms of action and have comparable plasma terminal half-life times, therefore it seems plausible that the PICT can be shortened for paclitaxel-treated patients as well.
Collection of Safety, Efficacy and Resource Utilization Information in Patients Who Have Received Melphalan PHP with the Delcath Hepatic Delivery System for the Treatment of Unresectable Hepatic Malignancy
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study of ADXS-NEO administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with select advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This study will be performed in 2 phases, a safety phase (Part A and Part B) and an efficacy phase (Part C).
This study will be conducted to assess the safety/tolerability profile of E7386 as a single agent administered orally in participants with selected advanced or recurrent neoplasms and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of E7386.
The study's aim is to prospectively compare three different tissue acquisition techniques during EUS guided solid lesions biopsies.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors including the following cohorts: squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma (UC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of AZD4573 in subjects with relapsed or refractory haematological malignancies.
Primary malignant and non-malignant brain tumors account for an estimated 21.42 cases per 100,000 for a total count of 343,175 incident tumors based on worldwide population estimates [1]. These entities result in variable but disappointing rates of survival, particularly for primary brain tumors (5-year survival rates: anaplastic astrocytoma 27%; glioblastoma multiforme 5%) [2, 3]. Metastatic brain tumors outnumber primary brain tumors (estimates as high as 10:1) as they affect approximately 25% of patients diagnosed with cancer [4-6]. In terms of brain tumor surgery, the extent of surgical resection-a factor that is greatly impacted by a Neurosurgeon's ability to visualize these tumors-is directly associated with patient outcomes and survival [7-9]. Although spinal cord tumors are lower in terms of their incidence [10], data correlating extent-of-resection to outcomes and survival have been demonstrated in patients with intramedullary tumors [11]. Using systemically delivered compounds with a high sensitivity of detection by near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, it would be possible for us to improve surgical resection thus minimizing chances of recurrence and improving survival. Simply, if the tumor cells will "glow" during surgery, the surgeons are more likely to identify tumor margins and residual disease, and are, therefore more likely to perform a superior cancer operation. By ensuring a negative margin through NIR imagery, it would make it possible to decrease the rates of recurrence and thus improve overall survival. This concept of intraoperative molecular imaging requires two innovations: (i) a fluorescent contrast agent that can be injected systemically into the subject and that selectively accumulates in the tumor tissues, and (ii) an imaging system that can detect and quantify the contrast agent in the tumor tissues.[12, 13] Subjects undergo intraoperative imaging, receiving an injection of indocyanine green and then undergoing intraoperative imaging of the surgery site with a NIR imaging system. The imaging devices allow the operating field to be observed in real-time.
Total body irradiation (TBI) is a standard part of the conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Several randomized trials have shown superior outcomes using TBI compared with non TBI-containing regimens. Standard TBI is usually delivered over three days for a total dose of 12 Gy with two daily fractions. However, as demonstrated by our group, increasing the TBI dose above 10 Gy is not necessarily associated with better outcome in patients undergoing allogenic BMT for hematologic malignancies. For this reason, patients older than 40 or grafted after relapse are treated at our center with a reduced-dose 10 Gy TBI regimen. This pilot study wishes to investigate in 10 patients with hematological malignancies unfit for a standard 12 Gy TBI conditioning regimen a more targeted, conformal form of treatment, referred as total marrow (TMI), using volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT). Our hypothesis is that using this technique that can allow deliver a higher total dose to the target while at the same time assuring to the organs at risk (OAR) the same dose normally delivered with a 10 Gy TBI we will improve the therapeutic ratio in these patients.
