Filter by:Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most prevalent, persistent, and disruptive sources of distress for adult cancer survivors. Prevalence rates for FCR have been estimated at up to 89%, with approximately half of cancer survivors reporting clinically significant levels of FCR. Despite the recognized prevalence, persistence, and suffering associated with FCR, effective and accessible treatments for FCR are lacking and urgently needed. Our long-term goal is to develop, evaluate, and implement effective behavioral interventions for cancer survivors suffering with FCR.
Background: Evidence of high quality has suggested that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)/aspirin effectively reduces colorectal adenoma incidence and recurrence rate, and several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) strongly indicate its potential to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and progression and to decrease cancer-related mortality. However the role of aspirin supplied as an adjuvant agent in postsurgical CRC patients remains obscure, and a RCT is warranted for clarification. Aim: The APREMEC trial aims to investigate the potential preventative role of enteric-coated aspirin (100 mg and 200 mg daily) against postsurgical recurrence and metastasis among Asian CRC patients. Design: The investigators hypothesize that this large-scale multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial will support that aspirin can reduce recurrence and metastasis and improve survival in postsurgical non-metastasized CRC patients. The primary endpoint of this trial is disease-free survival, and the secondary endpoints are 3-year and 5-year overall survival, the interactive effects of lifestyle including smoking and alcohol ingestion, and adverse event rate. Eligible postoperative patients with non-metastasized CRC will be randomized in this trial to 100 mg aspirin, 200 mg aspirin or placebo until recurrence/metastasis, severe adverse event, death, or end of study, after standard adjuvant therapy. Individuals with peptic ulcer, bleeding tendency, or previous or ongoing treatment with aspirin or other anticoagulants will be excluded from this trial. Stratification factors are gender, study center, cancer site, and tumor stage. After randomization, patients will be followed up with evaluations at a 3-month interval while taking study drug. Discussion: This study aims at investigation of aspirin's role as an adjuvant agent in prevention of postsurgical CRC recurrence and metastasis. If results turn out to be positive, Asian and global CRC patients will be greatly benefited, due to the fact that aspirin is inexpensive, easily-accessible, and simply-administered, with well know and managed adverse events.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib and to see how well it works compared to pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with sarcoma that is too large to be removed (locally advanced) or has spread to other areas of the body (metastatic). Sapanisertib and pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This pilot study concentrates on studying the trajectory of breast cancer patient's fear of recurrence (FoR) over the course of radiation therapy. The aim is to collect repeated ratings of 100 breast cancer patient's FoR over the course of their treatment. It is hypothesized that cancer patient's FoR level will rise on nearing the termination of the in radiotherapy treatment, and radiotherapist-patient interaction modifies the development of patient's FoR.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the sentinel node policy in early stage endometrial carcinomas at intermediate and high risk of recurrence (by comparing the sentinel node policy to current initial staging protocols).
This randomized phase II trial studies how well ATR kinase inhibitor M6620 (M6620) and gemcitabine hydrochloride work compared to standard treatment with gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). ATR kinase inhibitor M6620 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking an enzyme needed for cell growth, and may also help gemcitabine hydrochloride work better. Gemcitabine hydrochloride is a drug used in chemotherapy that works to stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking cells from growing and repairing themselves, causing them to die. It is not yet known whether adding ATR kinase inhibitor M6620 to standard treatment with gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective than gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malignant neoplasms that have come back (relapsed), do not respond to treatment (refractory), or have distributed over a large area in the body (disseminated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Determine the relapse-free, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)-free survival in patients receiving the investigational regimen.This is a randomized phase II clinical trial, comparing two different dosing schedules of mycophenolate mofetil for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Risk for relapse, GVHD and non-relapse mortality will be assessed. Adaptive randomization between two study arms will be performed based on T cell counts at day 60.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) on the prognosis of patients with microvascular invasion presence(MVI) and overexpression of Aspartate-β-hydroxylase(ASPH).
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of S-Adenosyl Methionine on recurrence after curative resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
