Filter by:The Quebec Pancreas Cancer Study is a prospective clinic-based study consisting of clinical, family history and epidemiologic data, with accompanying biospecimens, from patients diagnosed with either pancreas cancer, a related cancer or a related pre-cancerous condition, and their families.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of FORFIRINOX in advanced or recurrent extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of target therapy according to genomic and proteomic profiling combined with FORFIRINOX in advanced or recurrent extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma.
In this study, the investigators aim to demonstration of relationship between triceps skinfold thickness and overall survival of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and GB cancer.
Multicentric, international, web-based prospective documentation of the indications and results of Pressurized Aerosol Chemotherapy (so-called PIPAC or PITAC) for treating malignant pleural and peritoneal diseases. Indication is decided by the treating physician. There are no predefined inclusion or exclusion criteria.
The extent of hepatic resection for gallbladder cancer can be done from a wedge resection to 4b/5 bisegmentectomy. This study aims to compare the recurrence rates and survival rates between wedge resection group and bisegmentectomy group. Patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer on preoperative CT exam or patients who were pathologically diagnosed as T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer after initial simple cholecystectomy were enrolled. All patients are randomly assigned to wedge resection or bisegmentectomy group. Number of patients in each group is 44. Primary endpoint is recurrence-free-survival rates and overall survival rates.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of target therapy according to genomic and proteomic profiling combined with GEMOX in advanced or recurrent extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma.
Malignant obstructive jaundice is a common complication of advanced stage cholangiocarcinoma, GB cancer, and pancreatic cancer. In biliary stricture by malignancy, biliary drainage with placement of self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) for palliation is the therapy of choice in these patients. On hilar biliary malignant obstruction, bilateral stent used to be inserted. There are two kinds of bilateral metal stent insertion methods in hilar biliary malignant obstruction. (Stent in stent vs. side by side) Previously, two studies was conducted to show the superiority of bilateral metal stent insertion between stent in stent and side by side. Biliary drainage and stent patency was a little superior in side by side than stent in stent. But, complication related with bilateral metal stent was increased in patients with side by side method. Another study showed that there was no significant difference between those bilateral stent insertion methods. The most important concern about side by side method is associated with portal vein thrombosis by bilateral stent diameter. Selection of proper stent insertion method in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to investigate the patency of stent and survival of patients in side by side method (6mm sized M type) compared to stent in stent method (10mm sized LCD type) in patient with hilar malignant biliary obstruction.
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
Through clinical practice, to explore if the application of Fluorouracil implant could effectively delay the local tumor recurrence and improvement the postoperative survival time in patients with gallbladder cancer and bile duct cancer.
