Filter by:As long term totally implantable central venous access (TIVAPS) was increasingly needed in cancer patient, some modified techniques were introduced to improved the outcome and safety of the port implantation. In this modified technique, the prioritization were the safety and stability of catheter and port placement. Catheter was inserted to the cephalic vein in the deltopectoral groove, in which connected to the port pocket implanted in the anteromedial thorax. Connection was done by percutaenous and Seldinger technique by introducing a special trocar to ensure safety. Long term outcome was satisfactorily good by this technique without and major and minor events.
This project is to explore the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on total tumor survival time, progression-free survival time, and recurrence-free survival time in patients with pTanyN0M0 upper urinary urothelial carcinoma with lymphatic vascular invasion (LVI) through a prospective case-control study.
To evaluate of the value of radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection in locally advanced prostate cancer after neoadjuvant hormonal therapy with or without docetaxel chemotherapy.
Preoperative radiation with single agent chemotherapy as sensitizer is the standard care of locally advanced rectal cancer. Local irradiation significantly increases surgical complications and impairs quality of life. Combination chemotherapy alone seems promising and provides similar benefit to chemoradiation as neoadjuvant therapy. Early administration of systemic therapy is also proved beneficial for long-term survival. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of chemotherapy alone with short-term modified FOLFOXIRI or long-term mFOLFOX with standard chemoradiation as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 plus apatinib mesylate versus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin in Subjects with KRAS mutant stage IV non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Worldwide, breast cancer is the most incident and prevalent cancer among women. Despite advances in the treatment of advanced breast cancer (ABC) during the past decade, adjuvant systemic therapy has yield little progression for such patients. ABC remains an incurable disease, responsible for approximate 40,000 deaths annually and a median life expectancy of no more than 3 years. The NCCN guidelines clearly define routine adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for the early breast cancer, however, for the patients with recurrence and metastasis, the choice of treatment options is not clear. In this trial, we choose the patients with disease progression who received anthracycline and taxane adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The patients received vinorelbine and gemcitabine (NG) or vinorelbine and platinum (NP) regiments for 6 cycles. Then the patients with complete response (CR), partly response (PR) and stable disease(SD) will be assigned to 3 groups, one group will receive the original regiment for 3 cycles to maintain treatment, one group will receive the vinorelbine for 6 cycles, the other group will receive the capecitabine for 6 cycles. Trasuzumab will be used to patients if HER-2 positive. Endocrine therapy will be used if the hormone receptors positive after the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS), the secondary endpoint is to assess the overall survival (OS).
Early detection of cardiomyopathy in patients receiving Anthracycline chemotherapy and determine if speckle tracking echo and Troponin gene will add benefit for early detection of cardiomyopathy. Improve economic impact of oncologic patients from whom high sensitive troponin negative and normal speckle tracking patients can be safely excluded from long-term cardiac monitoring programs. To correlate between the molecular gene expression of troponin genes and ryanodine receptor in cardiomyopathy
We plan to carry out a prospective, randomized, open phase III clinical trial which sponsored by the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Institute. The primary aim is to evaluate pCR of DT and ET regimen as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of HER2 negative Luminal B breast cancers and the correlation of pCR respectively with the susceptible gene mutation scores and differential protein identified by proteomics. For patients with pCR, the association between the 5 year DFS and susceptible gene mutation scores and differential protein identified by proteomics will be evaluated. All Non-pCR patients will receive NX chemotherapy for 4 cycles, and to evaluate correlations between 5 year DFS of these patients respectively with susceptible gene mutation scores and differential protein identified by proteomics, and to evaluate the safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and sequential adjuvant NX regimen therapy. Meanwhile, we will verify susceptible gene mutation scores and differential protein identified by proteomics are significant predictors of HER2 negative Luminal B breast cancer chemotherapy sensitivity and prognosis, and explore the feasibility of susceptible gene mutation scores and differential protein in clinical application.
The product under investigation relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a pyrimidine nitrogen base, thymine, and the essential amino acid tryptophan. This product seems to have effect on quality of life and enhance adverse affects of chemotherapy in cancer patients.
Introduction: Pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions (PFMD) represent an important public health problem that manifests itself through lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), anorectal and sexual dysfunction. PFMD is a common problem in cervical cancer survivors (CC) with a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of oncological treatment on the function of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) of survivors of CC. Methods: Patients diagnosed with CC, of any stage, histology and degree, accompanied by the Oncology Gynecology Service of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto at the University of São Paulo, will be studied in the period between 2004 and 2014. Four study groups will be formed: (1) Patients with CC with PFMD; (2) Patients with CC without PFMD; : (3) Patients without CC with PFMD; (2) Patients without CC without PFMD. Non-cancer patients will be recruited into the community. For the analysis of the prevalence of PFMD will be applied to the discomfort Questionnaire on pelvic floor (IDPE-20) for evaluation of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) complaints, anorectal symptoms and urinary incontinence, and the Sexual Questionnaire for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (PISQ -12) for evaluation of sexual function. Both questionnaires have already been validated for the Portuguese language and are specific for women with PFMD. The pelvic floor impact questionnaire (PFIQ-7) will also be applied to assess the impact of PFMD on quality of life, daily living activities and emotional health. For the evaluation of general QOL, the EORTC questionnaire QLQ-C30 and its specific module for patients with CC, QLQ-CX24 will be used. The evaluation of PFM function will include vaginal palpation (Modified Oxford Scale) and perineometry (Peritron).
