Filter by:According to the most recent guideline of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), desmoplasia is considered to be a very high risk factor for recurrence, metastasis and death in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The presence of desmoplasia is assessed by dermatopathologists during histological examination of cSCCs. However, the inter-observer agreement is between dermatopathologists in the assessment of desmoplasia is unclear. Studies on inter-observer variability in the assessment of differentiation grade in cSCCs showed that there is only a weak to moderate agreement among dermatopathologists in the assessment of differentiation grade (2-4). This study aims to investigate the interobserver agreement of desmoplasia between dermatopathologists. In this prospective study, 50 cSCCs will be assessed for desmoplasia by at least eight dermatopathologists using a predefined definition.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between time to treatment (defined as date of pathological diagnosis to date of start treatment) and disease free survival in patients with high risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in the head-neck region.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk of recurrence and metastasis in patients treated with different surgical margins (5mm vs 10mm) for a T1 squamous cell carcinoma of the lip.
Optimization of second-line therapy with aflibercept, irinotecan (day1 or day 1,3), 5fluorouracile and folinic acid in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. A randomized Phase III study.
This is a Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of VCN-01 in Combination With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Subjects With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. VCN-01 is a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus characterized by the presence of four independent genetic modifications on the backbone of the wild-type HAd5 adenovirus genome, encoding human PH20, that confer tumor selectivity and anti-tumor activity. Durvalumab is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) 1 kappa subclass that inhibits binding of PD-L1. The proposed mechanism of action (MOA) for durvalumab is interference in the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and CD80 (B7.1). Blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/CD80 interactions releases the inhibition of immune responses, including those that may result in tumor elimination.
This multicentre, prospective and randomized study aims(1:1) to compare the rate of recurrence, metastasis and survival according to the levels of intraoperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) during cephalic duodenopancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors.
This is a multicentric randomized parallel group open trial comparing 5-year survival of chemotherapy followed by LT (Group LT+C) versus chemotherapy alone (Group C) in patients with confirmed unresectable liver-only metastases, well controlled by chemotherapy (no progression) and extensively explored by modern imaging techniques. The primary objective of the trial is to validate in a large multicentric cohort of selected patients the possibility to obtain at least 50% 5-years survival with LT combined to chemotherapy compared to around 10% with chemotherapy alone.
This study is a phase II, prospective, open-label, single arm, single center study of the efficacy and safety of concurrent conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and sorafenib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and extrahepatic metastasis. All of the 55 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and newly diagnosed extrahepatic (lung, bone, lymph node, adrenal gland) metastasis will be included. On demand conventional TACE will be performed in all the patients after enrollment and can be continued until intrahepatic CR, TACE failure or consent withdrawal. Sorafenib will be started 3-7 days after the first and each subsequent TACE and stopped one day before next TACE and will be continued until sorafenib failure, consent withdrawal or condition worsening by clinical decision. Repeated on-demand TACE and sorafenib should continue until the criteria for treatment discontinuation are met. After initiation of sorafenib combination treatment, patients will be seen and will perform routine examination at week 4 and, after then routine examination will be followed every 6 ± 2 weeks.
