Filter by:Digestive NETs are the second most common malignant digestive tumor after adenocarcinoma. The most common gastrointestinal NETs arise from the small intestine. These tumors have a high lymph node and distant metastatic potential (hepatic, pulmonary, etc.). Their management is essentially surgical and the extent of the resection essentially depends on preoperative data from conventional and isotopic imaging. The goal of surgical resection is to remove the portion of the small intestine carrying the tumour(s) with healthy margins (so-called R0 resection) and affected lymph nodes in the mesentery (lymph node dissection). The extent of lymph node dissection, sometimes significant, exposes you to the risk of short hail with its own complications (malnutrition, diarrhoea, etc.). Consequently, an analysis of the benefits and risks between the interest of an extensive and oncological resection (R0) and the risks of short bowel must be carried out for each patient. The reference examination to define lymph node involvement is determined by the histological examination of the resected surgical specimen (reference examination). The preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension is done by preoperative abdominal CT scan. However, the preoperative CT scan is not always consistent (sensitivity and specificity) with the pathology data (reference examination). For about 5 years, isotopic imaging (DOPA-PET and DOTATOC) has become feasible and could improve the quality of preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension. Consequently, the aim of this study is to determine the contribution of isotopic imaging (DOPA-PET and DOTATOC) in the preoperative evaluation of lymph node extension.
A national multicenter prospective study to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation of neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors, WHO Grade 1-2 of 3 cm or less in diameter.
Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NENs)are rare cancers arising from the neuroendocrine cells and can affect almost any part of the body. They vary from low grade neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to high grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). These tumors often occur in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, lungs, adrenal medulla (pheochromocytomas) or adrenal cortex (adrenocortical cancer) and other areas of the body mentioned below: - Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET): stomach, duodenum, pancreas, colon, appendix, etc. - Liver and gallbladder - Adrenal tumors - Pituitary gland - Thyroid gland: medullary thyroid carcinoma - Parathyroid tumors - Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors: typical and atypical carcinoid, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) - Extrapulmonary small cell cancer - Peripheral nervous system tumors: paraganglioma, neuroblastoma) - Breast and genitourinary tract Their rates are rising in the United States and worldwide. Researchers want to learn more about NENs through this natural history study. Objective: To study the natural history of people with NENs and obtain samples from them to learn more about the disease. The clinical management of all NETs is not standardized, with only a few FDA-approved therapies and we would like to learn which combination therapeutic approach should be used, how long treatment should be continued, and in what subgroup of NENs a particular treatment option should be used. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who have or are suspected to have NENs or ACC. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history. Participants will have a physical exam. Their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities will be reviewed. They will have blood and urine tests. Participants will receive recommendations for managing their disease and potential treatment options. They will be able to ask as many questions as they would like. Participants may provide saliva, blood, and stool samples for research. They will give tumor samples from a previous surgery or biopsy. Participants may have optional biopsies. During biopsies, cancer tissue will be obtained using a needle and syringe. Tissue will be taken from the liver, lung, or a lymph node. Participants may have an imaging scan or ultrasound to help locate the tumor or area to be biopsied. They will receive local anesthesia and may be sedated. Participants will complete a questionnaire about their family medical history. Participants will have follow-up visits every 6 months. They will have physical exams and give samples. If their health changes, they may have extra visits. If they cannot visit NIH, they (or their doctor) will be contacted by phone or email. Participants will take part in the study for all their life.
In this work, the investigators count through the integrated multi-omics analysis to identify different tumor subgroups in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and carcinomas regardless of their grade and stage. To achieve this, they will resort to the use of next-generation sequencing approaches (RNAseq, then use of MCP Counter for the absolute quantification of the eight populations of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment), alterations in epigenetics with study of the methylome by MeDIP, ChIPseq, telomere (ALT) study, as well as correlation with peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and immunohistochemistry data such as Ki67, p53, Rb, DAXX, ATRX, PDL1, immune cell labeling. This will be done on frozen or paraffin material. This work will provide a more complete biological picture of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and carcinomas.
Patients who have undergone curative treatment may be at risk of relapse. This study will collect, annotate, and sequence biospecimens (blood, stool, and tissue) from patients across different tumor types to detect molecular residual disease (MRD) before metastases become radiographically or clinically detectable. This will allow for early cancer interception, and hopefully prolong relapse-free survival across tumor types.
Patients entered into the study will receive ASTX727 orally for 5 days, prior to receiving Lutathera treatment on Day 8, to determine whether pre-treatment with ASTX727 results in re-expression of somatostatin receptor-2 in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. The study will use [68Ga]-DOTA-TATE PET to image epigenetic modification of the receptor locus.
This is a phase II, single arm, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab combined with IBI310 and Surufatinib for the treatment of high-grade advanced-neuroendocrine neoplasm
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with sintilimab in chemotherapy-refractory advanced high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasm.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with etoposide and cisplatin/carboplatin in the first-line treatment of advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance and tumor burden of 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors mainly in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) and neuroblastoma (NB).
