Filter by:Treatment of stage IV esophageal cancer is traditionally palliative, but treatment response is usually poor. The role of surgery in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer remains controversial. We sought to determine whether surgical treatment followed by neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy might provide survival benefits for these patients. A retrospective review of esophageal cancer patients with M1 disease treated at National Taiwan University Hospital was performed from April 2002 to June 2021. Patient demographics and cancer staging, treatment, and disease recurrence, and time of follow up were included for analysis. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed for overall survival and progression-free survival analysis. Propensity score matching based on patient age and tumor staging characteristics was also performed for analysis.
The ATLANT study is prospective, multicentre, non-interventional, observational study. Patients with HR+/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer received abemaciclib as monotherapy or in combination with endocrine therapy.
The MAMETIC Trial represents the first regional epidemiological study that aims to evaluate patients living in Campania with metastatic cancer, with the intent to detect different prevalence of tumors in the metastatic phase and evaluate the local response to the patient's request for assistance. Condition or disease: Metastatic disease Intervention/treatment: Radiation Treatment
This will be a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective study, in which up to 18 adult patients requiring radiotherapy for metastatic disease or for an inoperable primary tumor with no definitive curative treatment option, will undergo a combination treatment of intravenously (IV) delivered PROMITIL and standard of care radiotherapy. The treatment regimen will involve administration of two PROMITIL doses, delivered at a 21-day interval, and a course of EBR (type of RT according to investigator's preference), initiated 1-3 days after the first PROMITIL dose and completed within a 2-week period. EBR will consist of no more than 10 fractions delivered within 2 weeks as conventionally fractionated RT, or SBRT. Treatment safety will be assessed on a weekly basis throughout the two 21-day treatment courses (42 days) and throughout the follow-up period (up to Day 127). AEs will only be logged until 6 weeks after the last PROMITIL dose (up until Day 64). Disease status will be reevaluated between days 43-50 of the study, and every 6 weeks thereafter (Days 85 and 127±7 days). In addition, following completion of the treatment schedule, all patients will be followed up by phone every 12 weeks, until either death, disease progression (PD), withdrawn consent or trial cut-off date, i.e., for up to 2 years after patient accrual to study, (whichever occurs first). The following anticancer agents will NOT be allowed during the screening period, 6-week treatment period and until first disease reevaluation: cytotoxic agents, non-cytotoxic myelosuppressive agents (CDK 4/6 inibitiors, PARP inhibitors, m-TORS inhibitors and tyrosine kinase-inhibitors). Treatment with hormonal agents, monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFr, anti-Her2, anti-VEGF and VEGFr, anti-PD1, anti-PDL1) and bisphosphonates can be continued during the study.
The goal of the current study is to determine whether Foundation Medicine's next generation sequencing assay, called FoundationOne, will provide information that allows physicians to make treatment decisions using targeted therapies in clinical trials or FDA approved therapies, including "off-label" agents, that result in superior OS compared to historical outcomes for standard CUP therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of single-agent regorafenib in the first line treatment of frail and/or unfit for polychemotherapy patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
The stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) literature focuses on clinical outcomes in the adult population. However, SBRT has a particularly strong rationale for application in pediatrics given that high biologically effective doses have been shown to increase control in histologies, such as sarcoma, which are common in the pediatrics population. With stereotactic radiation therapy techniques, a reduction in normal tissue dose surrounding the target lesion of interest may also be accomplished resulting in lower toxicity. Given that pediatric patients with sarcomas, presenting with limited metastases in lung and bone, are still considered to be a curable population with aggressive local therapy, SBRT could have a significant impact on outcomes in oligometastatic patients who may be otherwise unresectable.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of selecting personalized therapies for colon cancer patients who have failed standard treatments, using a new methodology based on the determination of a profile of chemosensitivity by comprehensive genetic expression analysis from tumor samples.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what IG-IMRT radiation dose works best for treatment of disease in bone or soft tissues. This protocol will study what dose level may work most effectively. The first part of study will treat 10 patients with 22 Gray. Gray (Gy) is the unit that is used to describe the dose of radiation that is being given to a person with cancer. After we confirm that 22 Gy is a safe and sufficient amount of radiation, we will then treat another group of patients with 24 Gy and so on until we reach 28 Gy. Each dose level starting with 24 Gy will enroll at least 20 patients per treatment site (bone, bowel and/or spine). Patients will be enrolled in each treatment category until 20 patients in each strata reach an evaluable time point of 3 months post-RT. When we understand what dose works best and has the least amount of bad effects, the study will then look to see how well the patients do after the radiation therapy. This study is trying to see how your doctor can best treat the cancer that has spread to the other parts of your body.
The ROSORC trial is a randomized study comparing the efficacy of a new association (sorafenib and IL-2) versus the standard therapy (sorafenib) in patients affected by different histotypes of metastatic RCC. This study is a first line therapy for the advanced disease. The primary objective is the progression free survival (PFS) in the 2 arms of therapy and the secondary objective is the overall survival (OS) and the response rate (RR) and the safety profile of the combination compared to sorafenib alone.
