Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples from a large number of individuals with cancer to create a database for researchers to use in future studies. Researchers may use this database to discover new ways to detect and treat cancer and other diseases. Future studies may use stored blood samples to discover how genes affect health and disease.
The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the research will consist of 10-18 year old children who were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and received chemotherapy, who were admitted to the Children's Hematology Clinic of Adana City Training and Research Hospital between 19.05.2024 and 19.05.2025. Therapeutic play sessions will occur over a 4-week period during chemotherapy treatment.
To learn more about participant experience as a Asian American immigrant breast cancer survivor and how writing about participant experiences may affect participant's health.
This aim of this study is to investigate whether active alerts during CVSM result in an increased number of diagnostic tests and treatments in complication free patients, hypothesizing that more interventions are performed in the CVSM-group than standard of care (EWS) group.
To explore whether there is a significant difference in the cumulative live birth rate and maternal and child health outcomes between cancer patients who undergo or do not undergo fertility preservation before receiving anti-tumor treatment and non-cancer patients who undergo assisted reproductive technology treatment/natural pregnancy. This study will be conducted in the Clinical Center of Reproductive Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. 2800 women diagnosed with malignant cancers who has desire to reproduce will be enrolled in this study. Statistical analysis of the data will be performed.
To evaluate the association between time from PCI to cancer surgery and cardiovascular and oncologic outcomes in early-stage cancer patients, A retrospective, population-based cohort study was conducted using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (K-NHIS) database.
Healthcare systems are evolving, giving increasing prominence to the patient-centered model, accompanied by objective and perceived outcomes. PREMs (Patient Reported Experience Measures) are used to assess how patients feel about their experience of care. PREMs enable patients to take an active role in their own care, and enable healthcare establishments to identify areas for improvement that can be incorporated into their quality processes. In oncology, the collection of patient-perceived quality regarding their care pathway would enable better coordination of their care. While a few initiatives have emerged in the field of PREMs, the development of a reliable questionnaire assessing patient perception of their care pathway in oncology remains a challenge.
Early diagnosis of cancer is key for improving patient outcomes, but cancers are difficult to diagnose if patients present with unspecific symptoms. The principal objective of the MEDECA (Markers in Early Detection of Cancer) study is to identify a multi-analyte blood test that can detect and map occult cancer within a mixed population of patients presenting with serious but unspecific symptoms. The study will include 1500 patients referred to the Diagnostic Center at Danderyd Hospital (DC DS), a multidisciplinary diagnostic center referral pathway for patients with radiological findings suggestive of metastasis without known primary tumor or suspicion of serious but unspecific symptoms. Blood samples are collected prior to a standardized and extensive cancer diagnostic work-up, including an expanded panel of biochemical analyses and extensive imaging such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance investigations. In collaboration with world-leading international scientists, the blood samples will be analyzed for a panel of novel and established blood biomarkers predictive of an underlying cancer, including markers of neutrophil extracellular traps, circulating tumor DNA, platelet mRNA profiling, affinity-based proteomics and nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. The diagnostic accuracy of the blood biomarkers with respect to cancer detection during the diagnostic work-up will be analyzed through machine learning.
Cancer has a psychological, emotional and social impact beyond a patient's physical health. This study examines three new online peer mental-wellness support program for cancer patients, survivors or their caregivers. Each program teaches evidence-based skills, in the context of that groups lived experience, to manage the emotional impact of cancer. This study examines the impact of that program.
This study aims to investigate the independent and combined associations between physical activity and nutrition condition with mortality among cancer survivors.
