Filter by:The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
It has been reported that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who achieved pathological complete response (PCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy have better survival than those with non-PCR. Howeve, there is still recurrent diseases developed in PCR patients after esophagectomy. Herein, we aimed to investgate the risk factors of recurrence in PCR patients.
An active surveillance approach is proposed after completion of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) for carcinoma of the oesophagus. In this SANO (i.e. Surgery As Needed for Oesophageal cancer) approach, surgical resection is offered only to patients in whom a locoregional regrowth is highly suspected or proven, without distant dissemination. Such an organ-preserving strategy can have great advantages, but is only justified if long-term survival is non-inferior to that of the current standard trimodality approach comprising neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by standard surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the (cost-)effectiveness (including non-financial costs and survival) of active surveillance for patients with squamous cell- or adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus or oesophago-gastric junction.
Capsulomics has developed a prognostic assay for patients with diagnosed Barrett's esophagus (BE). This study will measure how gastroenterologists make surveillance and treatment management decisions when presented with different clinical and prognostic assay information.
The aim of the study is to investigate inter-observer variation in gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation of oesophageal cancer on different imaging modalities - CT, PET CT and MR.Twenty-three consecutive patients with esophageal cancer treated with preoperative or curative chemoradiotherapy were selected. All patients had CT, PET CT and MR imaging in treatment position prior to radiotherapy.Five experienced observers from our institution will independently delineate GTV on CT alone, MR alone, PET CT alone, on co-registered CT and MR and co-registered PET CT and MR. Inter-observer agreement, expressed in generalized conformity index (CIgen) and mean volumes of GTV will be calculated per patient and imaging modality.
This Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of [Ga-68]-PNT6555 and [Lu-177]-PNT6555 in subjects with select solid tumors that have FAP over-expression, in order to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.
Study of NGM438 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic tumor PALB2 (tPALB2) mutation.
This is a Phase 1/1b, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and clinical activity of AB308 in combination with zimberelimab (AB122) in participants with advanced malignancies.
This study wants to focus on Carcinoma detection rates with blue laser imaging (BLI) for participants with head-neck cancer who need a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). BLI is a new imaging technique that can easily be used within a standard gastroscopy.
