Filter by:The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate added as adjuvants to bupivacaine in infraclavicular brachial plexus block used under ultrasound guidance for upper extremity surgeries.
Surgery with or without neoadjuvant therapy is usually used as the treatment for resectable esophageal cancer or esophageal- gastric junction cancer. Patients who have a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy and have an incomplete (R1) resection or have metastatic lymph nodes in the resection specimen (N+) are especially at risk of recurrence, to continue with the chemotherapy± radiotherapy is often used in these cases. However, the overall survival is still poor. We designed a prospective randomized controlled tial to study whether immunotherapy could be used with chemotherapy after surgery to improve overall survival. The primary endpoint ofthe study is disease free survival, with secondary endpoints of overall survival, safety and toxicity, and quality of life.
The purpose of this Treatment Plan is to allow access to trametinib and dabrafenib for eligible high-risk BRAF mutation-positive patients in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. The patient's Treating Physician should follow the suggested treatment guidelines and comply with all local health authority regulations.
Comparing preventive effect of myocardial global longitudinal strain-based cardioprotective stragety (angiotensin receptor blocker prophylaxis) with left ventricular ejection fraction-based strategy in breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab.
Anthracycline based regimens followed by a taxane (CALGB-9344 trial and NSABP-B28) or reversed (MD Anderson Adjuvant Trial) has already accepted as adjuvant therapy for node positive breast cancer. Also in this group of patients, data from BCIRG-001 trial had shown that six cycles of adjuvant TAC (docetaxel, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) is superior to standard FAC (5-FU, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide ) combination in terms of both disease free and overall survival, while associated with a higher rate of febrile neutropenia. Then question arose whether it is better to use docetaxel and anthracycline in combination or sequence.
There are limited numbers of retrospective studies showing the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy over observation in resected lung cancers.
The study protocol is being conducted to compare intermittent high-dose i.v. administation of interferon alpha-2b with the standard high-dose treatment by Kirkwood with distant metastasis free survival (DMFI) as a primary endpoint.
