Filter by:Objective: the pre-hospital management of cancers is little known in General Medicine. The first lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of health facilities. Investigators were interested in the diagnosis and care pathway of digestive cancers in post-confinement in General Medicine in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
The AJCC TNM staging system is the prevailing method in prognostic evaluation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at present , but it did not include factors such as the tumor immune microenvironment that are known to exert a profound impact on patients'clinical outcome. This study was aimed to develop a comprehensive and effective prognostic score model to predict prognosis and guide clinical management for postoperative PDAC patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin, and irinotecan (GAX-CI) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Thermotherapy is a technology aiming at destroying tissue, for example tumor tissue. Immunostimulating Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy (imILT) is a specific form of thermotherapy, which, in addition to destroying tumor tissue, has been optimized to cause a tumor specific immunologic response. In laboratory animals the imILT method has also been shown to induce a so called abscopal effect. This means that when one tumor is treated with imILT other, untreated, tumors also decrease in size. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate efficiency when it comes to local tumor destruction of the imILT treatment method in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The purpose is also to investigate the functionality and safety as well as understanding of the subsequent immunological effects. This trial is prospective, open and non-randomized. Five patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will be treated in this trial, which is estimated to be carried out during a time period of 36 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether using FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) prior to surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer is safe and well tolerated. This study will obtain preliminary data on the response of the cancer to this therapy by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and by studying the cancer after it is resected surgically. In addition, the investigators will perform biochemical studies on the tumor tissue obtained from your tissue biopsy as well as from the tumor removed by the surgeon in order to measure the effect of treatment with FOLFIRINOX and SBRT on several proteins that may be important in the behavior of pancreatic cancer cells. The data obtained from this trial will be extremely valuable to help improve the approach to treating pancreatic cancer in the future. If you do not undergo surgery after completion of FOLFIRINOX + SBRT, the investigators will request a second biopsy of the tumor under computer tomography (CT) -guidance in order to measure the effect of treatment on your tumor.
