Filter by:In 2015-2016, 224,390 cases were newly diagnosed with lung cancer in USA. Of all the cases, 83% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, the 5-year survival rate of NSCLC patients is 21%, and more than 25% of early stage NSCLC patients, who have undergone surgical treatment, will have a relapse or progression. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which shed from the primary tumor into the vasculature or lymphatics, can be regarded as a new prognostic factors of metastatic process. Thus far, CTCs-detection technologies can be divided into epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-based detection methods, e.g., the widely used CellSearch® and Adnatest®,and EpCAM-independent detection methods, e.g., ISET® and ScreenCell®. Herein, the investigators used a newly established approach, i.e., CanPatrolTM to detect CTCs in early stage lung Adenocarcinoma cases. The investigator aim to explore whether CTCs detection prior to surgery can be contributive to the early diagnosis, or may help to predict the prognosis and guide the treatment strategy of early stage lung Adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare chemotherapy and gefitinib in combination with gefitinib alone as first-line therapy for adenocarcinoma, in terms of efficacy and safety.
To investigate the clinical application value of laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy using the caudal-to-cranial approach versus the medial-to-lateral approach by prospective randomized controlled clinical study.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well androgen receptor antagonist ARN-509 works with or without abiraterone acetate, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, and prednisone in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using androgen receptor antagonist ARN-509, abiraterone acetate, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRH agonist) may fight prostate cancer by lowering the levels of androgen the body makes. Prednisone may either kill the tumor cells or stop them from dividing. Giving androgen receptor agonist ARN-509 with or without abiraterone acetate, GnRH agonist and prednisone may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with small bowel adenocarcinoma that has spread to other places in the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This is a phase II, prospective, single arm, non comparative study with crizotinib combined with bevacizumab in treatment-naive lung adenocarcinoma cancer patients with ALK translocation or ROS1 translocation or MET amplification
The study aims to explore the prevalence of ALK/ROS1/MET mutations assessed with ctDNA samples in EGFR-wildtype NSCLC
Bowel cancer is the second most common tumour with 41 000 new cases diagnosed annually in the UK, 447 000 across Europe and 1.36 million worldwide; of which one third are located in the rectum. Standard primary radical Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) surgery is an oncologically effective treatment for early stage rectal cancer. However, resection of a low rectal tumour requires a permanent stoma in approximately 10% of cases while many more patients have a temporary stoma, some of which are not reversed. Radical surgery, which evolved to treat locally advanced, symptomatic tumours, may not be the optimal method of treatment for early screen-detected tumours and an organ preserving strategy may generate significantly less morbidity without substantially compromising oncological outcomes. STAR-TREC is a rolling phase II/III study. Phase II aimed to assess the feasibility of a large, multi-centre randomised trial comparing radical surgery versus two contrasting organ saving treatments followed by selective transanal microsurgery. Phase III will evaluate two contrasting organ preservation strategies in terms of organ preservation rates, toxicity (clinician and patient-reported) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).
This will be a single arm, window of opportunity study in men with treatment-naïve prostate cancer who will proceed to prostatectomy. Men will be treated with carvedilol prior to undergoing prostatectomy.
This research study is being down to find what, effects, good and/or bad, adding Pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy mFOLFOX before and after surgery have on the patient and the patient's cancer.
