Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about long term symptoms in oesophageal cancer survivors. The main question it aims to answer is are: - Study the changes in gut bacteria by examining saliva, stool and blood. - Investigate the products of bacteria in breath to develop a non-invasive breath test to detect the changes in gut bacteria. - Develop new strategies to treat this change and trial new treatments to improve quality- of-life in oesophageal cancer survivors. Participants will attend an outpatient clinic, fasted for at least 4 hours for collection of breath, saliva, blood, urine, stool and complete validated healthy-related quality-of-life questionnaires. Researchers will compare symptomatic and asymptomatic participants to detect the changes stated above.
This is a single-center, open-label, Phase Ib/II study aiming to assess the perioperative safety and postoperative outcomes of a novel surgical technique in treating primary adenocarcinoma located in the upper 1/3 of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (Siewert II or III). The study will enroll 30 patients who will undergo totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy by fissure technique. Clinical data will be collected to evaluate perioperative safety. Patients will be followed for at least 3 months, during which endoscopy will be performed to analyze occurrences and reasons for anastomotic-related complications. Additionally, the quality of life after surgery will be evaluated by QLQ-C30 and QLQ-STO22.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the addition of the stereotactic body radiotherapy and durvalumab to a well tolerated 2 week chemotherapy and radiation treatment regimen in people with oesophageal cancer that has spread to another are of the body (metastasised).
An exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NK cells (combined with standard therapy) in the treatment of solid tumor patients
This study constitutes a case-control investigation employing a retrospective approach. Plasma samples from individuals with esophageal cancer, benign esophageal diseases, gastric cancer, benign gastric diseases, and a healthy control group were systematically collected. Advanced Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) proteomics and single-vesicle membrane protein detection techniques were employed to quantify protein content within exosomes. Specific protein biomarkers indicative of early-stage upper gastrointestinal tumors were identified. External validation of these protein markers was conducted using Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) technology on an independent validation cohort. The objective is to establish protein marker predictions for early diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tumors and prognostication of therapeutic efficacy.
Esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer is still one of the main health care issue and esophagectomy with lymph node dissection is the only chance to be cure. However, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is a complex procedure which carries high risk of morbidity rate of 24% and a mortality rate of 2% to 5.6%, respectively There is a need to study the differences of 90-day postoperative morbidity and mortality in different clinics and centers of the Russian Federation.
This study is a quasi-experimental design clinical trial with the primary objective of comparing the health status of patients with esophageal cancer. Participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Patients in the experimental group received routine care and acupressure for 5 consecutive days starting from the day after entering the ward after esophageal cancer surgery, in the control group, participants received routine care, and Participants were assessed on the Gastrointestinal Symptom Distress Scale at the end of the intervention. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of acupressure in improving of gastrointestinal symptoms distress after esophageal cancer surgery.
This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.
Participants will receive study treatment with agenT-797, botensilimab, balstilimab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel. When participants start each agent will depend on how their disease is affecting them.
Objective response rate (ORR) was evaluated to evaluate the efficacy of SHR-8068 combined with adebrelimab and platinum-containing chemotherapy in first-line treatment of advanced gastric and esophageal cancer.
