Filter by:This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of mid-line fascial suturing using MONOFIX sutures in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) can become elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yolk sac tumors and other malignant tumors of various organs. Herein, the investigator present a case of AFP-producing gallbladder carcinoma with signet ring cells successfully treated with laparoscopic whole-layer cholecystectomy.
The AJCC TNM staging system is the prevailing method in prognostic evaluation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at present , but it did not include factors such as the tumor immune microenvironment that are known to exert a profound impact on patients'clinical outcome. This study was aimed to develop a comprehensive and effective prognostic score model to predict prognosis and guide clinical management for postoperative PDAC patients.
This is a single-institution, prospective phase II trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and sequential immunotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophagogastric junction and gastric adenocarcinoma. Patients with Her-2 positive or dMMR tumors will be excluded from the study. Six cycles of nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin and S-1 with or without bevacizumab, followed by three circles of nab-paclitaxel, bevacizumab, with or without S-1 combined with two cycles of PD-1 monoclonal antibody, will be administered as neoadjuvant therapy. Patients will receive different adjuvant treatments depending on the degrees of surgical radicality and the pathological reactions of tumors.
Pancreas as well as Cholangiocarcinoma have a dismal prognosis at time of diagnosis, due to late onset of clinical symptoms, patients present with advance disease. Complete surgical resection is the only potential curative treatment, however only a small percentage is eligible for upfront total surgical resection due to extension into anatomical related important vascular structures. Neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy has become the standard treatment modality for non-primary resectable disease (borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)), where subsequent downstaging can make identification of the primary tumor more challenging during surgery. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging can aid surgeons by providing real-time visualization of tumors, suspect lymph nodes and vital structures during surgery. Additional intra-operative feedback could possibly reduce the frequency of positive resection margins and increase complete removal of locally spread tumor and involved lymph nodes and could thereby improve patient outcomes as well as overall survival. cRGD-ZW800-1 is a targeted NIR-fluorophore, with specific binding capacity for integrins (αvβ3, αvβ5, αvβ6) which are overexpressed on tumor cells and tumor-associated vascular endothelium associated with neoangiogenesis.
Unlike other types of gastrointestinal tumors, there is controversial evidence of the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with borderline and resectable adenocarcinoma (ADK) of the pancreas, the objective of this study is to perform a "snapshot" of the usual practice in our setting in terms of neoadjuvant therapy in ADK, both in terms of the different regimens used as well as the results in terms of morbidity, mortality and survival. Likewise, in a second phase, a prospective registry of patients included in the neoadjuvant regimen for both resectable and borderline ADK diagnosed in Catalonia will be launched, which will provide us with valuable information to try to answer open questions in the context of borderline and resectable ADK treatment.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) patients following surgeries are prone to relapse shortly, while it is not well understood by current biomarkers. Given the potential associations of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) genotype with oncogenic mutational profile and immunotherapy efficacy, we aimed to assess whether differential HLA-I genotype could predict the postoperative outcomes in resected PAAD patients.
A few studies investigated the predictors of overall survival in appendiceal adenocarcinoma. A SEER database analysis of 1404 patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma found that older age, T4 tumors, N1-2 stage, poorly differentiated carcinoma, and distant metastasis were significantly predictive of poorer survival. Another small single-center study including 49 appendiceal cancer patients reported female gender and low-grade adenocarcinoma to be associated with increased overall survival. However, these previous analyses did not take into account some important prognosticators of survival such as patients' comorbidities and functional status, pathologic parameters such as lymphovascular invasion, and adjuvant systemic treatment. Therefore, we used the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the predictors of overall survival after surgical treatment of stage I-III appendiceal adenocarcinoma.
The current TNM staging system is not sufficient for prediction of prognosis and cannot precisely identify the patients who are in greater need of adjuvant therapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Tumor mutation and copy number variation (CNV) markers may have a higher predictive value. In this study, whole exosome sequencing was performed for patients with stage I-II PDAC undergoing R0 resection. The investigators aimed to identify genes with discrepant statuses of mutations or CNVs between patients with and without relapse within 1 year after R0 resection, and then to construct a support vector machine (SVM)-based prognostic classifier (the SVM signature) for PDAC using machine learning; the investigators then aimed to further validate the SVM signature in an independent cohort.
This study have two aims, the first is to explore the optimal cutoff of TLN for Siewert type II AEG using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database the second is to provide a more accurate staging for Siewert type II AEG patients.
