Filter by:This study was designed to verify the role of salivary LINC00657 as a diagnostic marker in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients as compared to oral lichen planus (OLP) (as an example of oral potentially malignant lesions) and normal individuals, and to show its relation to miR-106a. A total of 36 participants were included.
Subjects will receive treatment with nivolumab monotherapy at 240mg flat dose as a 30 minute IV infusion on Day 1 of a treatment cycle every 2 weeks (14 days) until confirmed progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, death or withdrawal of consent. This study is designed to better evaluate the safety profile of nivolumab in a large series of patients with Recurrent or Metastatic (R/M) Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. The primary endpoint of this study is the incidence of high-grade (CTCAE v 4.03 Grade 3 or higher), treatment-related, select adverse events.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a nurse-led standardized intervention on chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) what's the best practice to enhance the management of CINV; (2) how's the effect of the nurse-led standardized intervention on CINV in the patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Participants in the intervention group will receive evidence-based, nurse-led standardized management of CINV, including nurse-led risk assessment, education on prevention and control of CINV, antiemetics following guidelines, dietary strategies, relaxation therapy, and follow up. Participants in the control group will receive routine care of CINV. The incidence and occurrence degree of CINV and its influence on patients' quality of life will be compared between the two groups.
The purpose of this study is to understand how patients with mRCC respond to the study medicine (called sunitinib) when they receive it as the first line of treatment after finding out the cause for the disease. This study will look into how different and how well groups of people with high chances of developing the disease respond to the study medicine. All data for this study will be anonymously extracted from data already entered in RCC Registry which is owned by Turkish Oncology Group Association (TOGD). This study will pull out records from the Registry between 01-Mar-2019 and 30-Oct-2022 that belongs to people: - who are Turkish citizens - who are older than 18 years - who were found out to have mRCC - who received sunitinib as the first line treatment after finding out the cause for the disease This study will look at the responses, experiences and how long the patients use the study medicine sunitinib.
Investigators studied a population of 28 low grade serous ovarian carcinoma treated in Hospices civils de Lyon between 2000 and 2022. The primary objective is to determinate the rate of myometrial involvement by the cancer at pathology examination. Then, investigators compared patients with or without myometrial involvement : survival parameters, predictive factors of myometrial involvement (age, CA 125 level, surgery characteristics, pathology characteristics).
Tumor micronecrosis is a pathological feature that reflects malignant biological behavior in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor micronecrosis based on the current BCLC and TNM staging systems, and futher improve the performance of the staging models by establishing modified new staging models including tumor micronecrosis.
Background: This study aims to test whether 5% lidocaine patches can reduce Radiofrequency ablation-induced pain. Methods: The study will enroll patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and schedule a radiofrequency ablation procedure. 200 patients will be invited to allocate randomly into study or control groups: pretreatment with a 5% lidocaine patch (LidotopⓇ) (Group A); pretreatment with a placebo patch (Group B); The skin patch is applied before Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) while admission, and is changed every day till discharge. Pain severity is evaluated by a visual analog scale using a 10-point scale recorded by a study nurse before RFA and after the procedure. The demographic data, hepatocellular carcinoma characteristics, analgesics usage, patient satisfaction with pain control, and visual analog scale will be compared between the two groups. Anticipated results: Pretreatment with 5% lidocaine patches is an effective and straight method of reducing Radiofrequency ablation-induced pain to reduce analgesics usage and improve patient satisfaction with pain control.
I) Introduction Patients with cancer face difficult choices that require balancing competing priorities such as survival, functional capacity and symptom relief. Most patients with advanced cancer (>80%) expect frank yet sensitive discussions with their physicians about prognosis and treatment choices in order to be involved in the decision-making process. Nevertheless, this kind of discussion is frequently lacking, and consequently, patients often have a biased view of their own prognosis such as an underestimation of disease severity, or unrealistic expectations for cure. Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be treated with systemic therapies which may prolong survival but are not curative. Patients with advanced HCC often report expectations for survival and treatment-related side effects that differ from their treating physician. Accordingly, communication on prognostic and treatment choices is essential to obtain an accurate understanding of the disease that allows patients to make informed decisions. To the best of our knowledge, a thorough evaluation of the physician-patient communication quality has never been performed in advanced HCC patients. The aim of our study is to assess the perception of the expected prognosis and treatment side effects by the patient and his physician during the first consultation before the initiation of a new systemic therapy. II) Type of study: Prospective, observational, non-interventional multicentric study III) Outcomes III.1) Primary Outcome Evaluate the concordance between the patient's perception of his prognosis and treatment side effects with the one of his treating physician. III.2) Secondary Outcomes - Compare the patient's expectations for the aforementioned items to those of his physician and the degree of concordance between them. - Evaluation of patient satisfaction with the information received during the consultation - Assessment of patient-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression - Evaluate the association between individual prognosis expectation (i.e., patient and physician) and data from the available literature. IV) Recruitment All consecutive patients with a new systemic treatment prescribed for HCC in participating centres will be included for a period of 1 year.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to see the potential application of a CAIX targeted PET. tracer in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - The biodistribution of the PET tracer - Whether RCC lesions can be identified by the PET tracer Participants will undergo 68Ga-NY104 PET/CT scan and images will be reviewed by nuclear medicine specialists.
To compare the predictive ability of ALBI and PALBI grades with CTP and MELD scores. To investigate the efficacy of ALBI and PALBI grades for predicting the prognosis of HCC and overall survival among different modalities of treatment.
