Filter by: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?
Cancer is the first most common cause of death in Taiwan. The application of surgery and chemoradiotherapy are used for treatment of patients with cancer. However, loss of muscle mass, low muscle strength, low physical performance, and sarcopenia are induced during chemoradiotherapy, consequently increased the risk of hematological toxicity and nonhematological toxicity, decreased quality of life and survival rate. It was reported that skeletal muscle can secretion of myokines, which contribute to muscle synthesis, growth, repair, or atrophy. Investigators suggest that detection of blood concentration of myokines and sarcopenia-related predictors can early detection potential individuals who are susceptibility to sarcopenia in cervical cancer patients receiving chemoradiotherapy. Also, resistance exercise was demonstrated to improve muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and sarcopenia. Investigators suggest that resistance exercise can prevent cervical cancer patients from sarcopenia and improve quality of life through regulation the concentration of myokines. However, there was no study has been investigated their relationships. Therefore, investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial study to estimate (1) the effect of resistance exercise, walking on regulation myokine secretion, improving skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, sarcopenia, and quality of life in cancer receiving chemoradiotherapy; (2) myokine level, muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and sarcopenia incidence in cancer patients before and after receiving chemoradiotherapy.
This is an open-label positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) study to investigate the clinical predictive value of 68Ga-DOTA-BPP in subjects with triple-negative breast cancer. The visual and semiquantitative methods will be used to assess the PET/CT images
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common side effects of oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy for patients treated for digestive cancers, disabling and dose-limiting. Several strategies have been studied for the treatment of oxaliplatin-related sensory neuropathy. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies have been explored to relieve peripheral neuropathic pain. Non-pharmacological interventions have been shown to be potentially beneficial for patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation on the reduction of neuropathic pain in patients who developed painful, cumulative peripheral neuropathy that appeared under the effect of the treatment.
The investigators designed and synthesized a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP) ligand (DOTA-GPFAPI-04) by assembling three functional moieties: a quinoline-based FAP inhibitor for specifically targeting FAP, a FAP substrate Gly-Pro as a linker for increasing the FAP protein interaction, and a 2,2',2",2‴-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid (DOTA) chelator for radiolabeling with different radionuclides. Molecular docking studies investigated the FAP targeting ability of DOTA-GPFAPI-04. DOTA-GPFAPI-04 was then radiolabeled with 68Ga to give 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The investigators found that the 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 has high stability, targeted specificity, and longer retention time. The tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratio for 68Ga-DOTA-GPFAPI-04 reached 9.15.
