Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a neoadjuvant approach in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and the identification of prognostic factors.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of extensive lymphadenectomy procedure in treatment of gastric cancer. This study is designed as a open-label, multi-centers, randomized controlled trial. The overall survival and free disease survival are primary outcomes, with postoperative complication, hospital charges, and life quality as secondary outcomes.
Postmenarchal female cancer patients scheduled to undergo cancer therapy may enroll in this study to assess changes in existing and novel surrogate measures of fertility potential before, during and after chemotherapy. Measures of fertility potential to be tested include ultrasound imaging for antral follicle counts and ovarian volumes, endocrine evaluation, and assessment of oxidative stress.
This study evaluates a smart phone based mobile application designed for patients with Renal Cell and Prostate Cancer taking oral anti-cancer medications. (OAMs) All participants will be patients at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Half of the participants will use the mobile application for a 3 month period along with their usual care. Half of the participants will just receive usual care. The investigators hope to show that cancer patients taking OAMs who use the mobile application will be better connected to their care team and will develop increased competency for self-care which will primarily increase medication adherence.
Phase II multicentric study
To imporve the outcome of patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma, we conduct a clinical trial to test the efficacy and feasibility of consolidation chemotherapy after autologous stem cell transplantation
Purpose: This aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the modified FOLFOX6(mFOLFOX6) regimen and its impact on survival on a series in local advanced gastric cancer patients. Patients and methods: The study is a prospective non-randomized study. Patients with histopathologically confirmed and locally advanced gastric cancer(T2-T4 or N+) are enrolled in the study. Patients are given mFOLFOX6 scheme for 3 cycles.A radical gastrectomy and a D2 lymphadenectomy was will be scheduled 3-6 weeks after the completion of the preoperative chemotherapy. Down-staging is assessed comparing pretreatment clinical staging with postoperative pathologic staging on patients who underwent radical surgery. Tumor down-staging and the grade of pathologic response are included in a statistical correlation between tumor regression induced by mFOLFOX6 neoadjuvant chemotherapy and survival.The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival, secondary endpoints are disease-free survival, R0 resection rate, toxicity and prediction of response.
Probiotics modulate the gut microflora and immune status in CRC,which can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy such as diarrhea,infection,neutropenia etc.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether primary radiotherapy can be omitted for the locally advanced rectal cancer with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) negative circumferential margin.
The study is designed to compare Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT alone in treatment of stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
