Filter by:Myeloproliferative neoplasms are heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms with excessive proliferation of one or more of the erythroid, megakaryocytic, or myeloid lineages and relatively normal maturation resulting in increased numbers of red cells, platelets, and/or granulocytes in the peripheral blood. Constitutive tyrosine kinase activation appears to be a common pathogenetic mechanism.
The proposed study will evaluate if "curative intent" SBRT can provide high response rates and clinically meaningful cancer control with acceptable toxicity specifically in patient with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who do not have surgical options and are no longer responding to systemic therapy
The present single-center prospective exploratory study, conducted at Heidelberg University Hospital, assesses the feasibility of introducing a concept for additional patient care based on a mobile application for patients undergoing radiotherapy. Patients presenting themselves for the irradiation of thoracic or pelvic tumors will be surveyed regarding general performance, treatment-related Quality of Life (QoL) and symptoms and their need to personally consult a physician on a treatment-daily basis by means of a mobile application. The primary endpoint of feasibility will be reached when 80% of the patients have successfully answered 80% of their respective questions scheduled for each treatment day. Furthermore, treatment-related patient satisfaction and diagnosis-related QoL is assessed by PSQ-18 and EORTC questionnaires at the end of radiotherapy and at the first follow-up.
Describe in patients with metastatic kidney cancer treatment modalities with the type sequences: TKI - mTORi - Axitinib or VEGF mAb - mTORi - Axitinib.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 18F-Al-NOTA-MATBBN is safety and effective for cancer diagnosis.
This is an open-label and triple cohort study of the safety and efficacy of TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 to possibly treat HPV Persistency and human cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaⅠwithout invasion.
Background: Literature often shows limited and discordant data regarding the prognostic value of age in gastric-cancer patients. Generally, disease-specific survival does not seem to be worse in the elderly when compared with younger patients, and therefore gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for non-early tumors is considered the "standard" surgical therapy for all of operable patients, despite any age- or comorbidity-related limitations. Recent trials reported a survival benefit for extended nodal dissection compared with the more limited method, but some Authors found age (and comorbidities) to be a relevant predictor of postoperative complications, conditioning the safety of the surgical procedure itself. Methods/Design: The LELEGA Trial (Limited versus Extended Lymphadenectomy in high risk Elderly with Gastric Adenocarcinoma) is a randomized, clinical multicenter trial. All patients >75 years and with Charlson Comorbidity Score >5 with resectable M0 gastric cancer are eligible for inclusion and randomization. The primary endpoint is 5-year Disease-Specific Survival (DSS). Secondary endpoints include 5-year Overall Survival (OS) and postoperative complications classified according to Clavien-Dindo. Assuming an alpha (two-sided) of 5%, 232 patients per group are necessary to achieve an 80% power to detect a 13% survival difference (from 56% to 69%) between groups. Discussion: LELEGA trial is a prospective, multicenter randomized study to define optimal extent of lymphadenectomy (extended versus limited) in elderly and high-comorbidity gastric cancer patients.
The aim of this retrospective study is to review and describe the safety and the efficacy of recombinant human interleukin-11 (I) i (Baijieyi), using information already recorded in 20 medical records, The time periods include May 8th of 2008 to december 31st of 2016.
Studies have shown that tumor specific amplitude-modulated frequencies of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields that is associated with biofeedback upon exposure to in cancer patients. However, such discovery in other cancer patients are rare. And whether tumor specific frequencies can be found in Asian cancer patients remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to detect the tumor specific frequencies of Asian cancer patients in vivo.
Cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality post solid organ transplantation. While mortality from the other leading causes of death post-transplantation (e.g. cardiovascular disease and infection) is declining, mortality from cancer post-transplantation is increasing. This is due to both general and transplant-specific risk factors that combine to increase risk for cancer compared to the general population. However, there is a shortage of research exploring cancer epidemiology post solid organ transplantation in the UK. This is essential to guide clinicians and for counselling patients regarding expectations and outcomes after developing cancer post-transplantation. This is especially important as the aetiology, pathophysiology and outcomes of cancer post-transplantation may differ from the general population. Available data registries in the UK separately contain valuable cancer and transplant-specific data that can be combined to explore cancer epidemiology post-transplantation more comprehensively, which can be directly translated into patient benefit by utilizing transplant-specific data (rather than translating from general population or non-UK patient demographics). The purpose of this project is to combine existing data resources to link up the complete patient journey for solid organ transplant recipients nationally and focus on the entire spectrum of cancer from incidence to mortality.
