Filter by:The role of preoperative chemotherapy as standard therapy is well-established for advanced esophageal cancer. Immunotherapeutic agents such as Immune checkpoint inhibitors has been shown to improve objective response rate in solid tumors. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the efficacy and safety of preoperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in esophageal cancer patients in real-world practice. This study set out to investigate whether the combination of preoperative chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors is beneficial to improve the objective response rate as well as the pathological complete response rate in a real-world scenario.
Retrospective and confounder adjusted comparison of perioperative and longterm outcomes of patients requiring an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with and without concomitant liver cirrhosis.
This is a prospective study addressing the challenge of predicting disease progression and/or recurrence in patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal, pancreatobiliary, or esophagogastric cancer that are receiving anti-cancer therapy.
This study is to establish a safe and tolerable dose and to investigate pharmacokinetics and the first clinical efficacy signals of M1231 as a single agent in participants with solid tumors (Part 1) and with metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Part 2). Dose escalation will be followed by the dose expansion once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose for Expansion (RDE) has been defined.
The generation of a good surgical field at the mid-lower mediastinum during thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the left lateral decubitus position is often complicated. The investigators developed a simple and useful technique for surgical field generation.
In the Netherlands, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is increasing. In addition, EAC has a dismal prognosis. Therefore, screening for Barrett's Esophagus (BE) has stimulated interest. Although BE is a known precursor of EAC, a minority of patients with EAC are known with a previous diagnosis of BE. A non-invasive screening tool, such as breath testing, could select patients at risk for BE, after which unsedated transnasal endoscopy (uTNE) can confirm or exclude the diagnosis. The objective is to determine the accuracy and acceptability of a non-invasive screening strategy i.e. breath testing followed by uTNE for BE and EAC.
This multicenter study aims to include 15000 participants undergoing screening upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and establish a risk prediction model for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagogastric junctional (EGJ) adenocarcinoma in high-risk areas. The prediction model will be built based on epidemiological and cytological features, acquired from the esophageal sponge cytology test. The primary study outcome is the diagnostic performance of the model to detect high-grade lesions (including carcinoma and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) of the esophagus and EGJ. Secondary outcomes include the number needed to screen, and dignostic performance of cytologist under AI assistance and abnornal cell count.
To determine the incidence and risk factors of ethanol-induced symptoms, this multicenter, prospective, observational study is designed to include patients in Korea who are receiving chemotherapy with ethanol-containing docetaxel alone or in combination. Subjects who voluntarily provide written informed consent to provide information for this study and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be given an enrollment number and will be followed during the observation period to collect study-related data in the Case Report Forms (CRFs) as predefined in the study protocol. Patients' decision to participate (or not) in this study will not affect their treatment (physician's prescriptions or diagnostic/therapeutic decisions).
The study is testing an intervention of an investigator-developed chemotherapy dose adjustment algorithm. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the chemotherapy dose adjustment algorithm for reducing unplanned delays in patients receiving FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin)-type chemotherapy, while maintaining acceptable chemotherapy dose-intensity.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study in patients with selected solid tumors.
