Filter by:Surgery is currently the only potentially curative treatment modality for localized retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). Available studies regarding oncologic outcomes are mainly retrospective in nature, and RPS are recognized as a rare disease. Therefore, prospective analysis of high quality data is a top priority. Primary Objectives of this study are: - to prospectively collect standardized clinical data and radiological and pathological material from primary RPS patients treated with surgery at reference centers. - patient outcome will be evaluated in terms of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), crude cumulative incidence (CCI) of local recurrence (LR) and distant metastasis (DM). Secondary Objectives: - to estimate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment, including extended surgical approach to primary RPS; - to prospectively evaluate the impact of multimodality therapy, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy; - to identify clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics that may influence the oncological outcome or may be used as predictors of LR/DM/OS. These may be important biomarkers of disease; - to utilize collected pathological material for research collaborations.
This research study will collect blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with soft tissue sarcoma to look at circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). When tumor cells are damaged or die, DNA from the tumor cells are released into the blood stream as the cells break down. This is called circulating tumor DNA. Circulating tumor DNA is an important biomarker that may be used in cancer detection, prediction of treatment response, and disease monitoring.
Anlotinib is a multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It can inhibit the angiogenesis related kinase, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR), Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor(FGFR), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor(PDGFR), and tumor cell proliferation related kinase c-Kit kinase. Anlotinib is an efficient second line therapeutic agent in treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma which has been approved in clinical trials (ALTER-0203).Therefore , this study evaluates the safety and efficacy of anlotinib plus epirubicin and ifosfamide treat the metastatic or advanced soft tissue sarcoma .
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate whether the addition of 3 additional neo-adjuvant cycles of chemotherapy (doxorubicin based chemotherapy) to standard management according to the ISG-STS 10-01 study (3 cycles of neoadjuvant doxorubicin based chemotherapy + surgery +/- radiotherapy) improves the outcome of high-risk CINSARC patients with resectable soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). Primary endpoint is metastatic progression-free survival (M-PFS, after 3 years of follow-up).
Sarcomas are rare cancers with a high risk of metastatic progression and a major pejorative factor with respect to patient survival. The estimation of the metastatic risk of sarcomas is very complex given the histological heterogeneity of this entity. It is therefore essential that, at diagnosis, a reliable evaluation of this metastatic potential be made, in order to adapt the therapeutic strategy as well as possible. It has recently been discovered that sarcomas secrete many exosomes that appear to play an important role in tumorogenesis, growth, tumor progression and the onset of metastases. They contain many proteins and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, microRNA), reflecting the characteristics of the tumor. It has been shown that the amount of exosomes can be correlated with the grade of malignancy of the tumor. Present in the blood, exosomes offer the possibility of non-invasively analyzing the molecular information of the cancer cell. As a result, the study of serum exosomes derived from sarcomas has a high potential as a liquid biopsy to evaluate cancer pathogenesis, progression, and treatment efficacy. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate in patients with sarcomas that exosomes can be used to monitor their disease and be used as a predictor of the risk of recurrence.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of the acupuncture as healing modalities in the therapy of acute toxicity of radiotherapy.
This is a first-in-human, open-label, non-randomized, three-part phase 1 trial of INBRX-109, which is a recombinant humanized tetravalent antibody targeting the human death receptor 5 (DR5).
Introduction: Sarcomas are rare tumors of connective tissue. The exact overall incidence of sarcomas is unknown due to diagnostic difficulties and the various histological subtypes (over 80 subtypes). However, the apparent increasing incidence of sarcomas suggests environmental causes such as pesticides. Except for some specific factors (i.e. ionizing radiation, vinyl chloride, dioxin, and genetic predispositions) the scientific knowledge on the aetiology of sarcomas is sparse and inconsistent. France is a particularly appropriate country to set up a study investigating the causes of sarcoma occurrence due to the French organization in treatment and care of sarcoma patients, which is highly structured and revolved around national expert networks. The main objective of the ETIOSARC project is to study the role of lifestyle, environmental and occupational factors in the occurrence of sarcomas among adults from a multicentric population-based case-control study. Methods and analysis: Cases will be all incident cases (older than 18 years old) identified in 15 districts of France covered by a cancer registry and/or a reference center in sarcoma's patient care over a three-year period with an inclusion start date ranging from the 1st October 2018 to the 1st January 2020 and histologically confirmed by a second review of the diagnosis. Two controls will be individually-matched by sex, age (5-years group), and districts of residence and randomly selected from electoral list. A standardized questionnaire will be administered by a trained interviewer in order to gather information about occupational and residential history, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and lifestyle factors. At the end of the interview, a saliva sample will be systematically proposed. This study will permit to validate or not already suspected risk factors for sarcomas such as phenoxyherbicides, chlorophenol and to generate new hypothesis to increase our understanding about the genetic and environmental contributions in the carcinogenicity process.
T2* imaging is a method to identify labile iron pools in tumor cells. These iron pools may be linked to better treatment outcomes for specific types of therapy. This is a small pilot study to see if radiation therapy changes the amount of iron in a sarcoma tumor.
The primary objective is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) between aromatase inhibitors interruption and aromatase inhibitors maintenance strategies in patients with a locally advanced or metastatic Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LGESS).
