Filter by:This prospective cohort study aims to assess the incidence of gastric cancer in patients with intestinal metaplasia in body of stomach or angular incisure. As secondary objectives, among the patients included in the cohort, the study will: - assess the incidence of low grade dysplasia, - assess the incidence of high grade dysplasia in patients with low grade dysplasia, - identify risk factors of progression to dysplasia and gastric cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of TAS-118 plus Oxaliplatin compared with S-1 plus Cisplatin in overall survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of autologous gp96 treatment of gastric cancer.
The incidence of adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction (AEJ) has increased rapidly during the past decades. By the Siewert classification, the AEJ is the tumor center located 5 cm above the anatomic cardia and 5 cm below it, which is divided into three individual subtypes. Complete tumor resection is the primary therapy strategies for tumors of the AEJ. The Japan Clinical Oncology Group 9502 (JCOG 9502) found that transabdominal or transhiatal approach gastrectomy has better survival outcomes compared with left thoracoabdominal approach surgery for Siewert II/III tumors. Transabdominal approach gastrectomy is recommended as the standard treatment strategy for Siewert II/III tumors by the guidelines of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association (JGCA). However, the length of the proximal resection margin for Siewert-II/III tumors by transabdominal/transhiatal gastrectomy is still controversies. Previous study found that longer than 2cm proximal resection margin had better survival outcome than less than 2cm proximal resection margin for Siewert-II/III tumors. On the other sides, due to more advanced tumor stage of patients in China when compared with Japan and Korea. It is necessary to conduct a randomized control study to analyze the length of resection margin in advanced adenocarcinomas of esophagogastric junction. Therefore, this study was aimed to include those Siewert II/III tumor patients in Gastrointestinal Surgery Department, West China Hospital, Sichuan University to analyze the relationship between the length of proximal resection margin and survival outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine if reduced port totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with complete D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer is safe and oncological feasible. 67 patients with gastric cancer with preoperative staging from T1 to T3 will undergo reduced port totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. The primary end point of this study is to measure compliance rate with pathology report and compare with previous compliance rate data.
Purpose: To assess the utility of a new medical device that monitors a patient's breathing during medical procedures in which a patient is sedated, but not mechanically ventilated. In minor procedures, such as endoscopy (where the doctor examines a patient's digestive tract by a TV camera inserted through the mouth), patients do not require general anesthesia, in which a machine would take over their breathing while they are unconscious for surgery. However, during endoscopic procedures it is sometimes difficult for the anesthesiologist to monitor the patient's breathing—specifically, to monitor changes in breathing patterns and the adequacy of breathing. In endoscopy procedures, the room is darkened, and the patient's mouth is generally occupied by the endoscope. While the anesthesiologist can listen to the patient's breathing sounds with a stethoscope, this type of monitoring can only be done periodically, and there is limited ability to gauge the adequacy of ventilation. This study will use the ExSpiron Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM), which measures non-invasive minute ventilation (MV), tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR), in patients undergoing an endoscopic procedure to provide additional information regarding the effects of clinical interventions such as drug administrations or airway maneuvers on the patient's respiratory status. For patients who give informed consent, study participation means that they will have a PadSet consisting of 3 electrodes applied to the chest. Another component, a nasal cannula (a thin clear plastic tube that goes under the nose) will give patients supplemental oxygen, and is standard of care for endoscopy at UVM Medical Center. Patients will then be asked to breathe in and out of a portable spirometer (breath meter) for 30 seconds up to five times. This data will be compared to data recorded by the monitor to confirm that the monitor is recording accurately. The procedure will then go forward in the normal fashion. Patients will be randomly placed into one of two groups. In the first group during the procedure, the anesthesiologist will not be able to see the numbers (MV, TV, and RR) displayed screen of the monitor, so the data will not be used to guide the patient's clinical care. In the second group, the anesthesiologist will be able to see the RVM measurements of MV, TV, and RR to evaluate the effect of the interventions. Monitoring for both groups will continue in the recovery room, until discharge.
The aim of this study is to identify biomarkers predicting response or resistance factors of a targeted therapy with trastuzumab in advanced gastric cancer.
evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of oncology between D2 laparoscopic approach distal gastric resection (distal gastrectomy, D2 lymph node dissection) with the current standard surgical treatment model D2 open approach distal gastric resection (distal gastrectomy, D2 lymphadenectomy).
This prospective, randomized phase II study is designed to evaluate weather neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with both followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.
This protocol is a screening protocol only. No drug intervention study will be included in this protocol. However, based on the molecular profiling, patients may be eligible for targeted agents. However, the molecular profiling doesn't guarantee the enrollment onto the clinical trial. Currently, the available drugs are AKT inhibitor, MEK inhibitor, Wee1 inhibitor, MET inhibitor. ATR inhibitor and other agents may be available in the context of clinical trials depending on the availability.
