Filter by:The investigators don't know yet how the nose and the brain decode the smells. Scientific studies in neuroscience have shown that people who have tumors may have changes in the smell of secretions. Dogs are extremely efficient at detecting these changes, even before imaging studies. A review of the recent literature shows the different work done on the diagnosis of dogs on human pathologies, especially oncology. It is now known that the smell of exhaled gases is representative of the intestinal biotope and that a large number of pathologies are related to the type of microbial populations that inhabit the intestines. Copying the olfactory organs could thus be of major interest for the early diagnosis of pathologies. More and more works are interested in the diagnostic power of electronic noses. From a technical point of view, these are nano-sensors that mimic the olfactory receptors from the breath gas of the subjects. They analyze the molecules present and compare them with a database to establish a diagnosis according to a probabilistic algorithm. The use of exhaled air for the diagnosis of cancerous pathologies has already been the subject of scientific work. A classification using the SVM method using data from 320 sensors made it possible to differentiate patients with lung cancer from controls in 98.8% of cases. The differential diagnosis of obstructive bronchopneumopathy was also very well done in this same study. Another study shows equally encouraging results, highlighting sensitivities and specificities above 80%.
This Enriched-CRT 2017 trial is a prospective, multicenter trial for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and chemotherapy (CT) in radical resected advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients with lymph node metastasis (LN+) and lymphovascular Invasion (LVI+). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the 3-year overall survival (OS) of enrolled patients receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy compared with those receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. The second purpose is to evaluate 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and determine the safety of CRT compared with CT in the patients enrolled in this study.
The patients with upper gastric cancer (cT1N0M0) or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (diameter less than 4 cm) will be enrolled into this study. Each of these patients will undergo radical proximal gastrectomy and be randomly allocated into one of the two groups, double tract anastomosis group or esophagogastrostomy group. The following data will be collected to compare the difference between the two reconstruction methods: the rate of reflux esophagitis, postoperative quality of life, economic expenditure, the safety of operation, postoperative recovery, postoperative nutrition status and oncological effect. Through the comprehensive analysis, the result of this study will elucidate the best of the reconstruction method after proximal gastrectomy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of HIPEC plus apatinib and S-1 in the conversion therapy of gastric cancer with positive exfoliative cancer cells
Postoperative gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most common complications of distal gastrectomy. With more attention paid on it by surgeons, several new operation methods have been practised. Among all these, distal gastrctomy with Billroth II + Braun anastomosis was reported to be an useful method to decrease postoperative reflux rate. Meanwhile, the direction of anastomotic peristalsis has also been reported to affect the anastomosis and thus make difference in reflux rate. We design this study to investigate the potential effect and the superiority of antiperistaltic vs isoperistaltic Billroth II + Braun reconstruction in distal gastrectomy.
This study is an investigator-initiated, randomized, controlled, parallel group, and non-inferiority trial comparing robot-assisted gastrectomy with D2 nodal dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer patients with laparoscopic procedure.
This project is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical observation the safety and efficacy that stage IV limited peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer patients accept hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy with CRS and systemic chemotherapy. With advanced-stage gastric patients of confined to the peritoneal as the research object, with median progression-free survival and overall survival, adverse events as the end points.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of Dexmedetomidine for treatment of sleep deprivation, pain relief and postoperative recovery on middle-aged and elderly Patients with Gastric Cancer.
Background: Literature often shows limited and discordant data regarding the prognostic value of age in gastric-cancer patients. Generally, disease-specific survival does not seem to be worse in the elderly when compared with younger patients, and therefore gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for non-early tumors is considered the "standard" surgical therapy for all of operable patients, despite any age- or comorbidity-related limitations. Recent trials reported a survival benefit for extended nodal dissection compared with the more limited method, but some Authors found age (and comorbidities) to be a relevant predictor of postoperative complications, conditioning the safety of the surgical procedure itself. Methods/Design: The LELEGA Trial (Limited versus Extended Lymphadenectomy in high risk Elderly with Gastric Adenocarcinoma) is a randomized, clinical multicenter trial. All patients >75 years and with Charlson Comorbidity Score >5 with resectable M0 gastric cancer are eligible for inclusion and randomization. The primary endpoint is 5-year Disease-Specific Survival (DSS). Secondary endpoints include 5-year Overall Survival (OS) and postoperative complications classified according to Clavien-Dindo. Assuming an alpha (two-sided) of 5%, 232 patients per group are necessary to achieve an 80% power to detect a 13% survival difference (from 56% to 69%) between groups. Discussion: LELEGA trial is a prospective, multicenter randomized study to define optimal extent of lymphadenectomy (extended versus limited) in elderly and high-comorbidity gastric cancer patients.
Splenic hilum remains challenging during total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.The application of minimally invasive surgery for advanced gastric cancer is gaining popularity. The investigators aim to compare the safety and feasibility of LTG and OTG for advanced proximal gastric cancer.
