Filter by:Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths yearly. Cancer-related deaths can be reduced if patients are diagnosed and treated early. Delay in cancer diagnosis can occur at any point along the diagnostic spectrum, from the first observation of symptoms to the start of treatment. Diagnosing cancer when it is still at an early stage, before it has spread, gives surgery, radiotherapy and other treatments the best chance of working. Therefore, early diagnosis is the most important way to improve cancer outcomes. Most of the cancers usually presents with vague and non-alarming symptoms. Most individuals are diagnosed late when the cancer has already spread, and the prognosis is poor. There are over 200 different types of cancer that can cause many different signs and symptoms. Sometimes symptoms affect specific body areas, such as abdomen or skin. But signs can also be more general, and include weight loss, tiredness (fatigue) or unexplained pain. The type of symptoms varies from person to person. The major reasons for not presenting to the GP with symptoms such as these are "not wanting to waste the GP's time" and normalisation of these symptoms. The persistence of a symptom, social influence and awareness encourage help-seeking behaviours in primary care. However, few believe their symptom(s) might be a sign of cancer. Consequently, people might choose to self-manage their symptoms by using over-the-counter medication, and to seek advice from other sources, (pharmacists, family, internet), rather than a primary care physician. RATIONALE FOR CURRENT STUDY An early cancer diagnosis is essential for receiving treatment as early as possible to have the best chance for successful treatment. Early diagnosis of cancer can be challenging. Sometimes, the cancer symptoms resemble common illnesses and could resolve with the use of over-the-counter medications and other remedies until they become persistent or debilitating. The present study focuses on ten cancer forms: colon, oesophageal, stomach, liver, bladder, uterine, vulval, ovarian, endometrial and pancreatic. Patients diagnosed with the cancers mentioned above often report experiencing vague symptoms (such as abdominal or back pain, indigestion, feeling full etc). They often use over-the-counter medication to manage their symptoms before seeing a doctor. Information about how often and what products participants purchase (e.g. pain killers, digestive products and natural remedies) to care for these symptoms could help identify these cancers a few crucial weeks or months earlier and encourage people to seek help sooner from their doctors.
This study is a further observation and follow-up of the patients enrolled in the registration number NCT06341270 to further evaluate the efficacy of TEAS on postoperative chronic pain, quality of life and survival rate in patients undergoing hepatectomy.
The aim of this observational study is to comprehensively analyze the metabolites in plasma samples from multi-cancer patients using advanced mass spectrometry detection technology, in conjunction with metabolomics approaches. The goal is to construct a plasma metabolite database for multi-cancer patients. Simultaneously, we will delve into the exploration and validation of a series of metabolic biomarkers for early multi-cancer diagnosis. The objective is to establish a safer, more convenient, and more sensitive early screening method, thereby providing a reliable scientific foundation and critical evidence for improving the early diagnostic process for individuals at high risk of multi-cancer.
Based on the interaction between radiation therapy and immunotherapy and the potential potentiation of Probio-M9 for the treatment of ICIs, this study is planned to design an integrated treatment protocol for the first-line treatment of advanced gastrointestinal tumors through the use of macrofractionated radiotherapy as a means of immune activation, combined with the synergistic effect of Probio-M9 microbial agents and PD-1 inhibitors.
This is a clinical study focused on the use of fiducial marker-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treating malignant tumors, including lung, liver, pancreatic, and kidney/adrenal cancers. Here's a breakdown of the key components of the study: Study Design: Prospective, single-center, exploratory clinical study. Patient Enrollment: The study intends to enroll patients diagnosed with malignant tumors requiring fiducial marker-guided SBRT. Each tumor type (lung, liver, pancreatic, kidney/adrenal) aims to include 15 cases. Informed Consent: Patients are required to sign informed consent before participating in the study, indicating their understanding of the procedures, risks, and benefits involved. Intervention: Enrolled patients will undergo stereotactic radiotherapy for their respective malignant tumors. During this process, fiducial markers will be implanted according to the study protocol. Monitoring: Following implantation of fiducial markers, the study will monitor adverse events associated with the procedure. This includes any complications or side effects resulting from the marker implantation process. Success Rate: The study will assess the success rate of fiducial marker implantation. This likely involves evaluating the accuracy and reliability of marker placement for guiding SBRT treatment. SBRT Treatment Error: The study will also monitor SBRT treatment errors. This involves tracking any deviations or inaccuracies in the delivery of stereotactic radiotherapy, potentially caused by issues such as improper fiducial marker placement or technical errors in treatment administration. Overall, the study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using fiducial marker-guided SBRT for treating various types of malignant tumors to assess both the safety and the efficacy with a focus on patient outcomes and treatment accuracy.
ETN101 is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor (mTKI) targeting fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that ETN101 treatment/administration inhibited cancer cell survival and proliferation. In animal models, ETN101 had antitumor activity when administered to animals that did not respond to conventional targeted anticancer agents.
Irreversible electroporation is a curative treatment for cancerous liver lesions, performed on deep-seated tumors that are not eligible for surgical resection or percutaneous thermal ablation. The EVALHEP project aims to develop criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment based on imaging, mathematical models, and numerical simulations to assist radiologists who perform these complex procedures.
This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Cardonilizumab and Bevacizumab in hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary metastases.
Subjects with large inoperable liver tumors defined as at least 1 lesion larger than 5cm in maximum diameter. For the purposes of the present study, we define the AMARA principle in intensified regional TARE as a planned irradiated tumor dose >200Gy by the partition model. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Y90 high dose radioembolization for the management of large inoperable liver tumors. In addition, to correlate the safety and efficacy with the post-treatment dosimetry analysis (by MIM Software Inc) based on 90Y-PET/CT imaging.
The vast majority of liver cancers have an insidious onset and are often asymptomatic in the early stages, making early diagnosis difficult. Once diagnosed, most liver cancers have reached locally advanced stages or distant metastases, equivalent to Barcelona stage (BCLC) C-D. The tumors progress rapidly and there is a lack of effective treatments. The survival period of cancer patients is generally only 3-6 months. Cellular immunotherapy, including CAR-T and TCR-T, is considered a new hope for the treatment of cancer. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety of QY-1-T (a TCR-T targeting HBV) in the treatment of HBV-related liver cancer, and to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of QY-1-T in patients with HBV-related advanced liver cancer.
