Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that the combination of the FOLFIRINOX regimen (a combination of 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin chemotherapy) to provide maximal systemic disease control and FDR-gemcitabine chemotherapy with concurrent IMRT (Radiation therapy) to address local disease, will achieve a significant improvement R0 resection (Radiation oncology repeat surgeries) rate in borderline resectable (surgical) pancreatic cancer and enhance disease free and overall survival in this patient population.
Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed experimental therapies that involve taking white blood cells from patients' tumor or from their blood, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. Objective: This study will allow tissue samples obtained during the protocol screening process to be used for future and ongoing research in the NCI Surgery Branch Eligibility: Patients must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for an NCI surgery Branch Treatment Protocol Design Patients will undergo testing and evaluations as required by the appropriate NCI Surgery Branch Treatment protocol
The collection of data regarding patient outcomes after surgical intervention creates imperative knowledge to include surgeon performance, cost analysis, base for surgical research and publication, which in turn assist surgeons to improve the standard of care utilizing evidence-based practice.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if a negative-pressure dressing placed over a surgical incision can reduce the risk of developing a surgical site infection compared to a commonly-used sterile gauze incision dressing. In this study, the negative-pressure dressing will be compared to a standard post-surgical sterile gauze dressing. In this study patients will either receive a negative-pressure dressing or a standard sterile gauze dressing
This study is being done to investigate another way of evaluating margin status after pancreatectomy by using cytopathology (slide interpretation) as compared to the traditional method of surgical pathology
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a collaborative care intervention to manage cancer-related symptoms and improve health related quality of life in patients diagnosed with hepatobiliary carcinoma.
The primary objective in Phase I is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) as a single agent administered in 21-day treatment cycles in previously treated participants with advanced epithelial cancer. In Phase II, the primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy administered in 21-day treatment cycles at a dose selected in Phase I. Tumor types in the study will include: cervical, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, esophageal, gastric adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, head and neck cancers- squamous cell, hepatocellular, prostate, non-small-cell lung cancer, pancreatic, renal cell, small-cell lung cancer, non-triple negative breast cancer (non-TNBC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC).
The purpose of this study is to continue the safety and immunogenicity of AGS-1C4D4 administered in combination with gemcitabine in subjects previously treated in protocol 2008002.
Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosin kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI, Erlotinib) has demonstrated its efficacy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. But, their use is associated with dermatologic reactions of varying severity. Incidence of Erlotinib related skin effect (ERSE) was reported ~75% in NSCLC and pancreatic cancer phase III trials. Even though the dermatologic reactions could be a surrogated marker, it may be cause of dose modification. Also, it could give significant physical and psycho-social discomfort to patients. However, there is still a wide variety of drugs used- including, steroid, antibiotics, and vitamin D without any clear evidence based management recommendation. The role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been extensively investigated in normal and pathological wound healing. It is implicated in keratinocyte migration, fibroblast function and the formation of granulation tissue. The first growth factor to be isolated growth factor therapy has progressed into clinical practice in the treatment of wounds. Therefore, the investigators propose an epidermal growth factor ointment apply for patients with Erlotinib related skin effects.
Effect of Early management on PAin and DEpression in patients with PancreatoBiliary Cancer, EPADE-PB Purpose To determine whether early palliative care integrated with usual oncologic care with automated symptom monitoring can improve depression and pain in patients with cancer
