Adenocarcinoma of the anus is rare. It concerns less than 10% of anal cancers and its incidence is less than 0.2/100 000 inhabitants. Its management is not consensual and is most often derived by analogy with that of adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum. This is due to the rarity but also to the diversity of anatomical (anal margin, anal canal, lower rectum), etiological (primary glandular tumors or secondary to anal fistula, primary distant tumor and/or Crohn's disease) and histological forms (mucinous, intestinal, glandular adenocarcinomas and primary or secondary Paget's disease). Most of the literature consists of small case series and simple clinical cases in which the prognosis of these subforms has not been studied.
Nearly 10,000 people die each year in the United Kingdom from cancer of the lower gullet and stomach, known as known as oesophago- gastric adenocarcinoma (OGC). OGC is detected late as symptoms are non- specific and often mistaken for common problems such as heartburn. This translates to fewer than 2 in every 10 patients diagnosed with OGC living longer than 5 years. The breath of people with OGC is enriched with volatile chemicals (VOCs) that indicate cancer. When measured in a breath test, it detects OAC 80 out of 100 times. Whilst encouraging, there is scope to improve the detection rate by giving patients a stimulant drink that amplifies the production of tumour specific VOCs only, to increase their detection in the breath test. The goal of this observational study is to produce an enhanced second-generation breath test with superior ability to detect OGC through augmentation of breath. This will improve long term survival from cancer using an entirely non- invasive test. All participants (cancer and control participants) will consume an oral stimulant drink (OSD) and provide breath samples pre and post consumption of the drink at set time points (maximum 2 hours after consumption of the drink). The investigators will compare the breath VOCs from both groups, before and after consumption of the OSD to see if the OSD has a desired augmentation effect and can improve the accuracy of the OGC breath test. With this second-generation breath test, participants with vague symptoms can undergo a quick, non- invasive test, have samples analysed in a safe and accurate manner and be subsequently stratified based on their risk of having OGC, leading to earlier disease detection and improved clinical outcomes.
In localized intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancers (according to the NCCN classification), external radiotherapy delivering a "high" dose (dose equivalent 78-80Gy EQD2, α/ß=1.5) to the entire prostate volume combined with hormonal treatment, if necessary, has shown its benefit in terms of recurrence-free survival and is considered a standard treatment for this indication. Two fractionation modalities (number of sessions) are considered as therapeutic standards, conventional fractionation (39 to 40 sessions of 2 Gy in 8 weeks) and moderate hypo-fractionation (20 sessions of 3 Gy). More recently, phase II and two phase III studies have shown equivalence in terms of safety and efficacy of "extreme hypofractionation" (5 or 6 sessions) for these localized cancers, using stereotactic-type techniques. In view of the current data, this fractionation is considered a therapeutic standard in some countries (notably the USA) and an option in France. Delivering higher doses, beyond 80 GyEQD2 would improve tumor control, as demonstrated by randomized studies using brachytherapy, but at the cost of an increased risk of urinary toxicity. As an alternative to this combination of external radiotherapy and brachytherapy, an innovative approach of external radiotherapy has been developed to increase the therapeutic ratio of patients with localized prostate cancer, based on an escalation of the radiation dose (> 95 GyEQD2) focused on the macroscopic tumor or "dominant intra-prostatic lesion" (DIPL), the area most at risk of local recurrence after conventional dose radiotherapy (3). This external radiotherapy technique consists in performing a conventional dose irradiation on the whole prostate, with at the same time (at each session) a higher dose ("Boost") on the DIPL. This is a modality known as "simultaneous integrated boost" (SIB). The feasibility of simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) on the DIPL has been proven in external radiotherapy using conventional fractionation in the phase III FLAME study and the results in terms of long-term tumor control of this study showed a benefit in terms of biological recurrence-free survival. Feasibility in terms of tolerance has also been established for very hypofractionated regimens (5 sessions), in particular in the HypoFLAME study that followed the above-mentioned study . Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is used to identify and delineate the "dominant intra-prostatic lesion" (DIPL), and is the most commonly used modality in clinical studies that have evaluated SIB techniques. However, several studies show that PET imaging, particularly 68Ga-PSMA PET, significantly improves the correlation between the image-defined DIPL and histological data and may improve the likelihood of tumor control. A dosimetric simulation study also showed that dose escalation based on 68Ga-PSMA PET could improve local tumor control with an acceptable level of toxicity . Moreover, 68Ga-PSMA PET could be used to select the patients who could benefit most from this dose escalation, by excluding patients with lymph node or distant metastases.
Recently, a number of clinical studies were carried out to evaluate the therapeutic effects of PD-1 antibodies combined with chemotherapy as preoperative neoadjuvant therapy of gastric cancer (GC) worldwide. Indicators such as PD-L1 expression, TMB and MSI are currently used to evaluate the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody therapy. However, these biomarkers are mainly used in patients with metastatic and unresectable tumors, and the conclusions obtained in different studies are still partially contradictory, failing to accurately guide the treatment. Therefore, it is urgent to explore highly sensitive and specific biomarkers that can be used to monitor the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy for GC.The present clinical trial aims to use ctDNA dynamic monitoring combined with multi-omics methods to evaluate PD-1 monoclonal antibody (sintilimab) combined with SOX neoadjuvant therapy for clinical stage III gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. In order to identify the suitable population for neoadjuvant immunotherapy for locally advanced and resectable G/GEJ adenocarcinoma.

A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver objective real-time tissue perfusion and blood flow information intraoperatively. Primary Objective: To determine the feasibility of ActivSight™ in detecting and displaying tissue perfusion and blood flow in the conduit and foregut anastomoses in esophageal resection/reconstructive surgery. The investigators will compare the precision and accuracy among the naked eye inspection, ICG and LSCI in assessing the vascularity of the conduit.
This is a prospective, single arm, multicenter phase II study to assess the effectiveness of Serplulimab, Lenvatinib and Paclitaxel in the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma after first-line immunotherapy.
This is an open-label, dose-exploration and expansion study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of IMM-1-104 when administered as monotherapy or in combination with approved agents in participants with RAS-mutated or RAS/MAPK activated advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The dose exploration will identify the candidate recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMM-1-104 to further explore the anti-tumor activity of IMM-1-104 as monotherapy and in combination with approved agents in multiple Phase 2a proof-of-concept cohorts in malignancies of interest.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a dismal disease with a 5-year survival rate as low as 6%. It causes body composition changes and many patients develop muscle loss with disease progression. Computed tomography (CT) is a common, noninvasive method of muscle assessment.Known as myoesteatosis,low muscle radiodensity is reflective of intermuscular adipose tissue that influences survival outcomes in patients with cancer.Serum creatinine (Scr) and cystatin C (CysC) are usually employed to estimate renal function in clinical practice. Scr is a metabolic waste product produced by creatine in skeletal muscle. CysC can be produced by all nucleated cells in the body at a constant production rate. CysC is used as an endogenous marker to reflect the glomerular filtration rate. Some studies have supported that the Scr/CysC ratio (CCR) is a simple and inexpensive measure that can be used to evaluate the skeletal muscle mass of patients with malignancies, such as gastric cancer. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to explore the association between CCR and myosteatosis upon diagnosis of PDAC, specially whether the co-occurrence of these factors could predict survival outcomes.Preoperative assessment of muscle quality may be valuable for treatment planning and optimization of nutritional support. This retrospective study enrolls patients who underwent surgery for PDAC, from January 2016 to December 2021. Patients will be divided into myosteatosis and non-myosteatosis groups. Clinical and imaging data are collected.The study does not have any intervention measures and harm to subjects.
