Filter by:This prospective, single arm phase II study is designed to evaluate the rate of pathologic complete response of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma
It is very significant that assessing staging in gastric cancer patients before surgery, furthermore, determining the optimize surgical strategy ,predict the the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy for patients. For patients who are ineffective in neoadjuvant therapy, surgery will be more meaningful. It has been reported that the application of CT(computed tomography,CT) and MR(magnetic resonance,MR) in staging of gastric cancer, but not in predicting clinical response to neoadjuvant therapy for gastric cancer. Only a few studies focused on T staging using conventional MRI in gastric cancer, however , relatively new sequences in the chest deserve widely used. To develop a pre-treatment evaluation methods for TN staging in patient with gastric cancer by utilization of the new imaging methods (T2-TSE-BLADE,T2 maps, StarVIBE, iShim-DWI and high resolution CT). By analysing the relationship between TN staging and imaging features to find the imaging characteristics for TN staging, and to find the indicators of new technology and reference values for facilitate pre-treatment diagnosis of TN staging, optimize surgical strategy , predict the the efficacy of adjunctive therapy , and OS and define the range of lymph node for radiotherapy , as making personal treatment planning for gastric cancer .
Colorectal cancer of Mismatch Repair-deficient (dMMR)/ Microsatellite Instability-high (MSI-H) accounts for approximately 15% of all colorectal cancer patients, with a higher proportion in right colon cancer. Previous studies have found that colon cancer patients with dMMR/MSI-H cannot benefit from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) adjuvant chemotherapy. Once patients have distant metastases, they are not sensitive to traditional palliative chemotherapy, and the prognosis is significantly worse than that of mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR)/microsatellite stability (MSS). A phase II clinical study of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy based on mismatch repair (MMR) status published in 《N Engl J Med》 showed that the objective response rate (ORR) of advanced colorectal cancer patients with dMMR received anti-PD-1 is 40%, and a longer response time can be obtained compared to conventional chemotherapy. Anti-PD-1 neoadjuvant therapy has proven to be safe and feasible in lung cancer, bladder cancer and malignant melanoma, and can achieve more than 40% of major pathological response. However, there are no reports of anti-PD-1 neoadjuvant therapy for the dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the best multidisciplinary treatment for resectable colorectal cancer patient with the dMMR/MSI-H phenotype and to explore whether cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors combined with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) could further improve efficacy.
Application of circulating tumor DNA detection in diagnosis and treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. First, to explore the feasibility of ctDNA as a detection index for rectal cancer. Second, evaluate the accuracy of ctDNA detection in rectal cancer. Third, to explore whether ctDNA can be used in the evaluation of preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, so as to provide guidance for subsequent treatment. Fourth, to explore the guidance value for the decision of postoperative adjuvant therapy and the frequency of reexamination. Fifth, search for possible recurrence related mutations.
RATIONALE: Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy using luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists and/or anti-androgens has already demonstrated to downstage primary prostate cancer in patients treated by radical prostatectomy without a survival benefit. There is no evidence yet of a survival impact of LHRH antagonist (LHRHa) +/- new-generation anti-androgens in this setting. Thus novel studies are needed to assess this treatment combination. PURPOSE: To assess the difference in treatment antitumor effect between arms by measuring pathological tumor volume with minimal residual disease (MRD) following radical prostatectomy + pelvic lymph-node dissection (RP + PLND) for intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant electrochemotherapy on locally advanced rectal cancer (UICC II-III) in an intended curative clinical setting, using an endoscopic electroporation device (EndoVE).
The investigators designed this study to investigate the effect of aromatase inhibitors (AI) plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
