Filter by:The goal of this interventional study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of symbiotics (a combination of probiotics and prebiotics) compared to probiotics alone in terms of their impact on anti-tumor immunomodulation in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The study also aimed to assess the effects of these interventions on postoperative complications and outcomes. In the study, a probiotic agent (Nowfoods, USA), containing ten strains of bacteria with a total dosage of 25 billion colony-forming units (CFU) was administered. This probiotic regimen involved taking two capsules once daily, starting two weeks before the surgery and continuing for one month after the surgery. For the synbiotic group, in addition to the probiotic agent, two capsules per day of inulin supplement (HERBAMAMA, USA) were also taken. The study included three groups: the synbiotics group, the probiotics group, and the placebo group. The researchers compared the pathological status of immune cell infiltration (specifically CD8 cells) and interferon-gamma expression, as well as the levels of interleukins 10, 6, and 10 in the participants' serum. Four blood samples were collected from each participant: one taken 14 days before the surgery, one on the surgery date, one two weeks after the surgery, and one 30 days after the surgery. The main research question addressed by the study was whether there was a significant difference in the immunomodulatory effect and postoperative complications between the synbiotics group and the probiotics group. The placebo group likely served as a control to compare the effects of the interventions against no intervention.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be divided into pancreatic head cancer (PHC) and pancreatic body/tail cancer (PBTC) according to the anatomical position of tumors. There is increasing evidence that tumors at different sites exhibit different genetic or molecular features and clinical manifestations, and can affect the survival and outcomes of PDAC patients. Studies have shown that the prognosis of PBTC is worse than that of PHC, which is partly attributed to the relatively late clinical presentation of PBTC patients and the lack of overt symptoms such as obstructive jaundice, which is common in PHC. However, it has also been shown that the worse survival of PBTC compared to PHC is not related to the disease stage. Previous studies have investigated the molecular differences between PHC and PBTC and found that the frequency of SMAD4 mutation in PBTC was significantly higher than that in PHC at early stages (I-II). In the late stage (III-IV), PBTC had higher mutation frequency of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but lower frequency of genomic alterations which can be targeted by drugs. The above genetic and molecular differences may be related to the clinical differences between PHC and PBTC. However, the differences in microbial composition and metabolism between PHC and PBTC have not been fully studied and discussed, and their relationship with clinical manifestations and prognosis is also unclear. In this study, the investigators aimed to analyze the microbial and metabolic differences between PHC and PBTC through 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing and untargeted metabolome analysis to further explore the etiology and pathogenesis of PDAC at different anatomical positions.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in small bowel adenocarcinoma patients. The main question it aims to answer is the association between tumor size and prognosis in patients with small bowel adenocarcinoma. Participants will be compared for the relationship between tumor size and prognosis.
Colorectal cancer ranks the second lethal cancer and third prevalent malignant tumour worldwide, Despite of different odern modalities for diagnosis,large number of cases diagnosed at metastatic advanced stage . New treatment approach has been discovered habe been discovered making a huge revolution in metastatic colorectal cancer represented by targeted therapy including anti_EGFR ,anti_angiogenic and kinase inhibitors .
Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive carcinoma that is associated with a poor prognosis. Detection of novel biological markers that are specifically over expressed in pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma and their subsequent targeting by anti cancer therapeutic modalities may improve patient's survival.
Fruquintinib with PD-1 inhibitors (FP) and TAS-102 with bevacizumab (TB) are two common therapies for patients with previous-treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, it's still not clear that which therapy can bring better prognosis. Our study sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib with PD-1 Inhibitors versus TAS-102 with bevacizumab in Late-Line mCRC between July 2019 to October 2022July 2019 and June 2021 at the Hunan Cancer Hospital.
The objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy (primary endpoint: overall survival), safety (secondary endpoint) and the medico-economic impact (secondary endpoint) of nanoliposomal irinotecan combined with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid in clinical practice
The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate in patients with HCC and FTC who underwent lobectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The necessity of completion thyroidectomy based on the clinicopathological characteristics - Prognosis Participants underwent thyroid lobectomy Researchers compared HCC and FTC groups to see the prognosis after lobectomy.
In our multicenter retrospective study, preoperative CA 19.9 levels predicts the presence of lymph node metastasis at final histology in patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma .
