Filter by:The prognosis of patients with inoperable locally advanced or residual/relapsed gastric cancer is rather poor. Concurrent capecitabine chemoradiotherapy is safe and recommended. Nimotuzumab, an anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) monoclonal antibody, has shown its antitumor safety and efficiency in many phase I/II studies. Efficiency of combination of these treatment need to be further analyzed.
after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) of early gastric cancer, conventional proton pump(PPI) inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists have a controversial effect on preventing bleeding from artificial ulcers. the aim of this study was to investigate whether a stronger acid suppression (high dose PPI) more effectively prevents bleeding after ESD
To investigate the efficacy of capecitabine combined with paclitaxel as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer with liver metastasis only
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) usually requires adequate level of sedation due to lengthy and uncomfortable procedure. Propofol induced sedation with bispectral index (BIS) monitoring has been reported to lead to higher satisfaction of patients and endoscopists during ESD. However, there is no data about efficacy of midazolam and meperidine induced sedation with BIS monitoring during ESD. This study was to evaluate whether midazolam and meperidine induced sedation with BIS monitoring could improve the satisfaction and reduce the dose of midazolam and meperidine during ESD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of ESD(Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) for early gastric cancer analyzing short-term and long-term results of endoscopic treatment.
This is an open, non-randomized, multicenter Phase II study evaluating cisplatin plus TS-1 or oxaliplatin plus TS-1 as first-line therapy in predicted 'responder' to platinum and fluoropyrimidine. This study is planned in 3 centers in Singapore and Korea. A total of 30 subjects will be enrolled into each treatment arms. Each centers will recruit 15-25 subjects predicted to be 'responder' to platinum and fluoropyrimidine. The study will consist of a prescreening period, a screening period and a treatment period. A fresh tumour biopsy sample will be obtained during the prescreening period for gene expression profiling. As this is a genomics guided trial, obtaining tissue biopsies is vital to the conduct of the trial. Patients will have the primary in situ (requirement for entry into trial), endoscopic biopsy performed prior to 1st cycle.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 and oxaliplatin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve survival benefit compared with control.
Malnutrition is frequently seen in patients on chemotherapy suffering from gastric/colorectal cancer and may worsen the outcome. EPA, a sort of ω-3 PUFA, can modulate immune system. EPA also antagonizes metabolic and inflammatory changes induced by the tumor. This study is to test whether EPA, in combination with enteral nutrition, can improve nutritional/immunologic status, quality of life, and reduce chemotherapy related side effects of these patients.
Our research of the biology of upper gastrointestinal cancers involves the study of tissue samples and cells from biopsies of persons with gastric or esophageal cancer or blood samples from upper gastrointestinal cancer patients and persons at high inherited risk for these cancers. We hope to learn the role genes and proteins play in the development of gastric and esophageal cancer.
The survival of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer (EGC) at 5 years is less than 30%. Pravastatin is a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that has shown increased survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment (increase in survival and recurrence-free period of the disease) with pravastatin in patients with advanced EGC. The investigators have designed a randomized, controlled and open. Advanced stage was considered for patients with T4 or N1 or M1 according to the TNM classification. It has been estimated sample size per treatment arm of 73 patients (146 patients in total). Randomization was done on a stratified by location (CE or CG). All patients receive hatitual treatment (surgery and / or chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy and / or palliative) for each of their clinical conditions. The experimental group will receive one tablet of 40 mg of pravastatin orally every 24 hours (breakfast) for 2 years. There will be a monthly monitoring of these patients for at least 2 years which includes an analytics. Every 2 months there will be an abdominal-pelvic CT scan to assess progression and treatment response.
