Filter by:Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was oral administrated prophylactically twice a day，the control group was blank control. The clinical efficacy of deep-sea fish oil on prevention of ARIE was evaluated by comparing the differences in the occurrence time, the grade and incidence of ARIE. Additionally, the change in nutritional status was also investigated. Hemanalysis, liver function, kidney function changes， and adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the safety of deep-sea fish oil.
To observe the efficacy and toxicities of post-operative (R0/R1) proton radiotherapy for locally advanced primary thymus epithelial malignancies. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival and toxicities, and the secondary endpoint was overall survival and cause-specific survival.
The main question it aims to answer are: 1. whether the new target delineation scheme can improve Progression-free Survival 2. whether it can reduce the incidence of radiation complications in high-grade glioma patients. Participants in trial group will be performed radiotherapy of new target delineation method after the completion of the operation within 4-6 weeks., while participants in the control group be performed radiotherapy of EORTC(European organisation for research and treatment of cancer) target delineation method.Temozolomide 75 mg / ( m² · d ) will be given to both groups of patients during radiotherapy. After radiotherapy, its dose changes to 150 ~ 200 mg / ( m² · d ) for 5 days and stopped for 23 days as a cycle. There are 6 cycles in total.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases in breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT). In addition to regular follow-up of patients by the radiation oncologist for 5 years, cardiovascular screening at the end of follow-up, combining the use of a connected watch and a cardiological check-up, could make it possible to identify precisely the types and frequencies of these sometimes asymptomatic, and probably underestimated, cardiac diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the incidence of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases occurring within 5 years after RT - To evaluate absorbed doses in the heart and cardiac substructures (chambers, conduction nodes, coronaries, pulmonary veins) based on auto-segmentation models developped with deep learning algorithms - To investigate whether the risk of AF and other cardiac arrhythmias and diseases is associated with cardiac irradiation characterized by these absorbed doses (dose-response relationship) Participants will be included between 2023 and 2025, 5 years after their RT: - Retrospective data collection will be based on a medical questionnaire designed to identify cardiac pathologies present prior to RT and those having occured in the past, between RT and 5 years post-RT. - Cross-sectional data collection will be based on screening for cardiac pathologies using a connected watch worn for 1 month (silent AF screening) and a cardiology consultation (including ECG and echocardiography) to identify cardiac pathologies at 5 years post-RT possibly not identified in the retrospective data collection.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of adding pre-rehabilitation pelvic health physical therapy to standard of care radiation therapy treatment plan for female patients who have been diagnosed with cervical, vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or anal cancer and are a candidate for curative pelvic radiation with external beam. Participants will receive education on using a vaginal dilator for use during treatment and complete questionnaires looking at pain and sexual function.
For the purpose of this research, investigator will constitute several cohorts of patients, treated either by intensity-modulated radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or proton-therapy. This will allow better understanding the cognitive and anatomical damages caused by new radiotherapy techniques and better understanding how ionising radiation (X-rays or protons) acts in the long term on brain tissue. Longitudinal follow-up will be multimodal, based on yearly multi-parametric brain MRI to assess morphological changes, in relation with dosimetric data as well as neuropsychological performances, health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression disorders, memory tasks, and socio-professional reintegration. This will notably make it possible to evaluate the relationship between dosimetric data, age at the time of treatment, region of the brain irradiated, type of radiation used, dose per fraction, neurocognitive and neuro-anatomical consequences. A Normal Tissue Control Probability (NTCP) model will be also developed. Overall, the results of this study should contribute to the improvement of treatment techniques, in particular by preserving as much as possible the significant cerebral zones (hippocampi, frontal lobe, sub-ventricular zones, etc.), and to the management of patients by proposing appropriate support measures. In the proton-therapy cohort, evaluations will make it possible to establish more precisely the place that this new irradiation strategy should occupy in the management of low grade meningioma. Importantly, investigator have planned to constitute a last cohort, with subjects free of any neurological disease, to make it easier the interpretation of cognitive performances over time among patients in the three brain radiation cohorts.
Fucoidan is FDA approved and in common use for treatment of angina. These studies will advance that work to human use. Successful mitigation of lung radiation damage and heart toxicity will improve the quality of life in veterans and non-veterans who are treated for lung cancer by radiation, and may also improve cure rates of radiation therapy for lung cancer.
This study will establish the preferred dose of lisinopril in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing radiation treatment. This study will also evaluate the effect of lisinopril on urinary symptoms and the impact of lisinopril on biomarkers and their association with urinary symptoms.
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact on the health-related quality of life of patients with refractory symptoms, who have been referred to the HUGCDN Chronic Pain Unit for adjuvant palliative treatment with ozone therapy between June-2022 and December-2025
Patients with loco-regional NSCLC planned for curative treatment with chemoradiotherapy will be invited to participate in a prospective study; besides routine treatment, the patients will be followed with an ECG and cardiac MR for at least two years after radiotherapy treatment.
