Filter by:Here, it is investigated how sunitinib, a tyrosine kinase-inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, might influence sodium homeostasis in the skin and if this is related to a well-described treatment side-effect of sunitinib, hypertension.
To understand the epidemiology, treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). Data from mRCC patients who received cabozantinib versus non-cabozantinib Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) (a type of targeted cancer drug) immediately after Check Point Inhibitor (CPI) treatment (a type of immunotherapy that blocks proteins that stop the immune system from attacking the cancer cells) in US community oncology practices will be analyzed.
Assessment of short-term outcomes of radical nephrectomy combined with IVC thrombectomy with a novel technique without thoracotomy: single center case series.
Kidney cancer is one of the ten most common malignancies, and the incidence is increasing in recent year. From Hong Kong Cancer Registry, there was about 670 new cases diagnosed in 2016, and had been increased by 46% compared to 2007.Within the broad classification of kidney cancers, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 85% of all cases and greater than 90% of all renal malignancies. Despite the improved understanding and also diagnosis for kidney cancer, still about one fourth of patients will presented at metastatic stage or developed recurrence after initial treatment and required further systemic therapy. Facing the wide range of available options for systemic therapy, the current challenge is how to select the most effective treatment. Unfortunately, there is no good biomarkers available to aid treatment selection. Currently, there are some approaches to try to test the response of kidney cancer to different chemotherapeutic agents. Previous studies showed that 3D organoid culture model can improve our ability to model tumor behavior. Organoid culture technology may provide opportunities for new drug development and drug screening. In this study, investigators aim to establish a reliable and effective method to cultivate kidney cancer cells, then will provide researchers for further information on personalized and targeted therapy on kidney cancer for local Hong Kong patients.
This study aims at estimating the proportion of patients diagnosed with locoregional renal cell carcinoma who are at high risk for recurrence following nephrectomy, describe referral patterns, and characterize treatment in this population. Outcomes including estimation of the incidence of recurrence and disease-free interval following nephrectomy will be reported overall and among the subgroup off patients receiving adjuvant systemic therapy with sunitinib following nephrectomy.
Kidney cancer is a highly malignant disease with 950 new cases every year in Denmark. Diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer patients presents many challenges because that early stages of the disease are often asymptomatic and the disease is thus often at advanced stage or even metastatic when discovered. Metastasis is a predictor of bad prognosis, because the presence of metastases excludes the possibility of curative treatment (surgery). Systemic (medical) treatment is used for metastatic disease. It is of increasing importance to monitor how patients are responding to the treatment and switch to a different product if the tumor is not responding. Improved methods for detection of metastatic lesions would be of great advantaged for the clinicians in order to select the optimal treatment strategy for the patients. In the present study we aim to identify tumor markers in the blood and more specific we want to investigate whether circulating tumor-DNA can be used as a biomarker for monitoring the development of the disease during and after treatment. We want a better understanding of the tumor's heterogeneity and development. Furthermore we want to evaluate the diagnostic value of dual time FDG- PET/CT for the detection of bone and lymph node metastases in patients with kidney cancer
In the last decade, investigators from the Department of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (National Cancer Institute, USA) have conducted genome-wide association (GWAS) studies of renal cell carcinoma. Dr. Mark PURDUE and Dr. Stephen CAHNOCK (Department of Epidemiology of Cancer and Genetics, NCI) propose to expand their genome-wide association study (Expanded GWAS) by genotyping approximately 10,000 additional cases of kidney cancer patients, in collaboration with US institutions, South-American and European. This study describes the participation of the French Kidney Cancer Research Network (UroCCR) in the Expanded GWAS research, under the coordination of Professor BERNHARD (Bordeaux University Hospital).
The aim of the study is to evaluate trifecta and pentafecta outcomes for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LNP) in patients with clinical T1N0M0 renal tumor.
This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of inactivated tumor cells genetically modified with the TAG-7 gene as immunotherapy for cancer. Patients with melanoma or kidney cancer were included since they have immune-dependent tumors. Treatment was done in the adjuvant setting after complete cytoreduction of locally advanced or metastatic disease or in the therapeutic setting in patients where complete cytoreduction was impossible.
The study aims to assess clinical outcomes in mRCC patients treated with sunitinib in second-line following IO therapy in real world clinical practices.
