Filter by:This is a pragmatic, non-randomized mixed-methods evaluation study designed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering the mychoiceTM tool to new Medical Oncology patients as well as to more deeply explore its value to patients in their discussion with their provider about clinical trials as a treatment option over the course of their oncology treatment (Effectiveness).
The study investigates the impact of nutritional status on the clinical outcomes of cancer patients in Shaanxi Province undergoing chemoradiotherapy. It focuses on understanding how diet and nutrition affect the effectiveness and side effects of cancer treatments.
Under-representation of patients from racial/ethnic minority groups in cancer clinical trials is a major barrier to health equity. Black patients are significantly less likely to be enrolled in clinical trials compared with non-Hispanic White (White) patients although they carry a disproportionate burden of cancer mortality, the shortest survival rates, and are more likely to be diagnosed at later stages. Further, medical mistrust and lack of awareness and complexity of clinical trials are barriers that reduce the likelihood of clinical trial participation. The objective of this pilot study is to understand the effect of a culturally tailored decision aid (previously developed by our research team) on 1) medical mistrust, 2) patient knowledge about clinical trials, and 3) decision-making self-efficacy and determine the acceptability of the decision aid among Black patients currently or ever been diagnosed with cancer.
This study is a multi-center, case-control study aiming at developing and blinded testing machine learning-based multiple cancers early detection model by prospectively collecting blood samples from newly diagnosed cancer patients and individuals without confirmed cancer diagnosis.
This is a prospective, single-arm, observational study capturing data from whole-body magnetic resonance imagining (WB-MRI) from up to 100,000 male and female subjects 18 years of age or older recruited at multiple clinical sites within the United States. Study subjects must meet a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Potential subjects arriving at the study sites will be evaluated for enrollment. It is the Principal Investigator's (PI) responsibility to enroll only subjects who satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Recruitment can occur by subject presentation at the sites for elective standard screening, word-of-mouth, flyers, healthcare professional (HCP) referrals, advertisement online, or any other means, subject to approval by the associated institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee (EC) when applicable.
This study is a non-interventional, multicenter, multicohort evaluation of participants with cancer who will undergo longitudinal plasma ctDNA biomarker profiling at specific time points in addition to standard of care therapy.
The present study aims to adapt a metacognition-based ConquerFear-HK to an internet-based self-management intervention, namely eConquerFear-HK and evaluate in a randomised controlled trial, its feasibility, utility, and potential effectiveness on fear of cancer recurrence reduction among local Chinese cancer survivors with subclinical fear of cancer recurrence.
The study purpose is to measure REE by indirect calorimetry and to determine limits of agreement with confidence intervals between measured REE and predictive equations for determination of energy requirements in patients with incurable cancer. Clinical factors associated with hyper- and hypometabolism will be elucidated. Data will be obtained from patient journals in combination with measurements of REE and registration of survival. Data will be collected at one timepoint and survival will be monitored prospectively.
The goal of this observational study is to is to ascertain the spiritual needs of palliative patients in a standardized manner using the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire and to promptly address those needs by (specialized) spiritual care. To determine whether the effort of implementing the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire on a sustainable basis on the one hand brings the expected benefit to the patients and on the other hand can be provided by the pastoral care personnel, at Muenster University Hospital (specialized) spiritual care interventions will be documented in detail and retrospectively and prospectively collected data will be compared.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the associations between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antibody levels and the risk of overall and site-specific cancer types in Southern China. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: In addition to the established EBV-associated cancer types, such as lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and stomach cancer, whether EBV is associated with other cancer types? Question 2: What's the cancer burden attributed to EBV in Southern China?
