Filter by:Concurrent Chemotherapy for Elderly Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The investigators collect nasopharyngeal epithelium samples from healthy individuals and analyze for biomarkers compared with tumor tissues from another clinical research project. The goal of this study is to identify molecular biomarkers for prediction of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Background: Combinations of Dendritic and Cytokine-induced Killer Cells (DC-CIK) and Cytokine-induced Killer Cells (CIK) treatment may enhance the immune response and stop cancer cells from growing. The investigators suppose that DC-CIK combined with CIK treatment will improve the prognosis of advanced solid tumors. Objective: Phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of concurrent chemotherapy with DC-CIK and CIK treatment in patients with treatment-refractory solid tumors. Study treatment: Patients in group A will receive 4 cycles of CIK treatments and 4 cycles of DC-CIK treatments within 8 months. Patients in group B will have no immunotherapy . chemotherapy are available in both groups.
Background:Although concurrent chemoradiotherapy is effective for improving disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However,the oral mucositis pain evoked by the chemoradiotherapy itself reduces food intake and frequently halts the treatment. Thus, pain control is an important problem in chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.We performed to examine whether early induction of low-dose, opioid from moderate pain reduced total dose of Oxycodone during chemoradiotherapy, while improves the quality of life and reduce weight loss. Objective:Present clinical trial to investigate the early introduction of opioids suppressed the transient increase in the numeric rating scales(NRS) score for pain and compared with conventional treatment. Methodology:The subjects will recruit 70 patients who were hospitalized for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 70 patients were divided into two groups, depending on whether the pain was moderate or severe when an opioid was introduced.Differences between groups were compared using T test protected least significant difference for one-factor analysis of variance. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS(Statistic Package for Social Science) software.P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
The purpose of this clinical research project is to explore potential biomarkers and validate the predictive and prognostic value of molecular signature in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
1. To see the effect if a combination of induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy works in treating children with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).
This trial uses blood tests and questionnaires to study how well participants with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body adhere to swallowing exercises to prevent future disease. Using blood tests to study cytokines (proteins related to the immune system) may help doctors learn if certain levels of cytokines affect whether or not side effects occur and if they put participants at risk for future disease. Questionnaires may help doctors learn about the reasons head and neck cancer participants may or may not follow the swallowing exercises that they are asked to perform after receiving radiation treatments.
EUS-FNA for RPLN in NPC
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of maintenance chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Participants will be randomized to 3 arms. Arm 1, control group, participants will receive only 4-8 cycles of conventional chemotherapy; arm 2, participants will receive 6 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy after conventional chemotherapy; arm 3, experiment arm, after conventional chemotherapy, participants will receive maintenance chemotherapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicities.
A Phase II Trial of S-1 as Maintenance Treatment After Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin Regimen Chemotherapy in Patients With Recurrent and/or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
