Filter by:Gastrointestinal cancers such as colon cancer and liver cancer cause many deaths in the US. Testing could catch these cancers early, helping people live longer. The goal of this study is to compare two different ways of getting more people tested for these cancers: 1) by directly reaching out to the people who need testing or 2) by helping providers fix issues that hold up testing. The main question it aims to answer is: how should healthcare systems go about choosing one or the other? Researchers will look at cancer testing rates over time at sites that are trying these different approaches. They will also survey and interview participants from these sites.
This is a multi-center study in China to investigate the role of PIVKA-II in HCC recipient selection and prognostic stratification by analyzing the data of 522 recipients with HCC registered in the China Liver Transplant Registry.
This is a large-scale study in China to provide evidence and insights in the role of gender in LT for HCC by analyzing the data of 3769 recipients with HCC registered in the China Liver Transplant Registry.
Observational study that will be collecting clinical and molecular health information from cancer patients who have received comprehensive genomic profiling and meet the specific eligibility criteria outlined for each cohort with the goal of conducting research to advance cancer care and create a dataset that furthers cancer research.
This trial will assess the safety and tolerability of PXS-5505 incorporating first-line combination therapy Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Phase 2 will assess the efficacy of this combination therapy in unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this research is to compare the amount and quality of tissue obtained by EUS-FNB when the device is flushed with an anticoagulant or "blood thinner" vs. saline a salt water solution as well as the use of a microsieve in order for the doctor to look at the tissue to check the acceptability of the specimens before sending for analysis. You will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to have either the blood thinner or the salt water solution placed within the needle being used to sample your abdominal tumor and to have either a sieve used or not. You will be one of 42 participants enrolled in this data collection study which includes 1 sites in the United States.
At present, the families of cancer patients are lack knowledge and experience of nutritional care after discharge. As a result, cancer patients often suffer from low nutritional status after being discharged from the hospital.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in 90% of cirrhosis primary liver cancers. In France, 8,500 new cases of HCC occur each year, and about 8,000 deaths per year are related to this cancer. The 5-year survival rate is 10%, one of the lowest survival rates of all cancer types. HCC raises a number of major challenges: HCC is discovered at a curable stage in only 25% of cases, reflecting the marked delay in the diagnosis of early stages. The state of knowledge about HCC is well behind that of other cancers (no biomarker, complex carcinogenesis, influence of the aetiology, poorly valorised data, etc.). Rapid technological progress requires large-scale studies to evaluate new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The CHIEF project constitutes a common basis knowledge for research project using prospectively collected data in patients with HCC, regardless of the cause and stage of the cancer. This project is a Multicentre longitudinal observational study of patients with HCC with prospective data collection on inclusion and patient follow-up. Constitution of a biological resources collection. 5,000 patients will be included over 2 years with a follow-up of patients of 5 years.
The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with >1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be ~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.
The study proposes low-dose Y90 microspheres for therapy planning of HCC, as an alternative to Technetium (99mTc) albumin aggregated (MAA), to be a bioidentical therapeutic Y90 surrogate marker to better predict and thus achieve optimal therapeutic dosing.
