Filter by:The purpose of this project is to quantify normal and abnormal skin blood flow regionally in different areas of the body(face, extremities, over burns and wounds) at baseline and over time in response to treatment or environmental changes, such as temperature, light and pressure.
Anthracyclines are associated with cardiotoxic effects. Previous studies suggest that enalapril, and or carvedilol, protect against cardiovascular effects of these drugs. Ivabradine selectively reduces heart rate through inhibition of the cardiac pace maker IF channel, thus prolonging the duration of spontaneous depolarization in the sinus node. Additionally, ivabradine might preserve myocardial perfusion without negative inotropic effect and probably maintain cardiac contractility despite the reduction of heart rate. Ivabradine has been shown to improve outcome in patients with heart failure and angina. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether ivabradine might prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced-stage gastric cancer is justified by various studies, however, there was not any large scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) to support it until German oncologist introduced a novel regimen(FLOT regimen) in 2017. Investigator assessed the FLOT regimen for safety and feasibility in Chinese gastric cancer patients.
This study aims to assess the 6- and 12-month venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding incidence from the start of cancer diagnosis in a retrospective cohort of patients with esophageal cancer. Additionally, the predictive value of the Khorana score and several other VTE and bleeding prediction scores and risk factors will be evaluated.
Safety and efficacy study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FLOT versus SOX) for gastric cancer patients in high volume center of China
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Current guidelines recommend Nab-paclitaxel, Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen. Studies have shown that sequential chemotherapeutic regimen can effectively delay the drug resistance and improve the effect of chemotherapy. Here investigators intend to assess the effect of sequential treatment with Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine and modified Folfirinox on metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
'Pre-EMPT' - A cohort-controlled, interventional study to assess the effects of a pre-emptive exercise programme, or 'prehabilitation', in patients undergoing peri-operative chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the lower oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction.
The CLiFF Study will assess changes in liver function and liver fat in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) undergoing pre-operative chemotherapy before liver resection. There will be no change to the standard treatment for CLM. The change in liver fat will be assessed using novel magnetic resonance techniques and the change in liver function will be measured using a newly-developed fully-licensed breath test to give the most accurate measure of liver function possible. Understanding if these changes are related or reversible will help to understand the relationship between obesity and cancer. This is an important issue, as obesity is now the second most common cause of cancer worldwide.
Chemoresistance remains an obstacle in treating people with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with mCRC receiving chemotherapy may help doctors understand the effect of chemotherapy on biomarkers. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate biomarkers in chemotherapy regimens for first-line chemotherapy for mCRC.
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor, even in those patients who had underwent surgery, the 5-year survival is still less than 10%. Current guidelines recommend Gemcitabine monotherapy for R0 resection of pancreatic cancer. Inflammation plays an critical role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. Here we intend to assess the synergistic effect of using celecoxib in combination with gemcitabine on the treatment of R0 resection of pancreatic cancer.
