Filter by:In our study, the treatment plan for the case prior to the breast tumor counseling will be asked to physician and the treatment protocol observed by the primary physician will be observed after the decision of the tumor council.
The overarching goal of the project is to use a mixed-methods research design to assess the validity of a new instrument developed to assess cancer patients' perceptions of care coordination across varied care settings.
An exploratory open label study to improve the function and welfare of late-stage solid cancer subjects (with or without lung involvement) who failed or refused anti-cancer treatment by ACC treatment, administered orally and concomitantly by inhalation. The following measures will be evaluated: improvement of pain, performance status, dyspnea measurement (Modified Borg Scale)/ oxygen saturation (if applicable) and overall survival. The subjects' medical charts will be reviewed for their eligibility including the following: medical history, prior cancer treatments, pathologic diagnosis of cancer, and CT/Chest X-ray results. Assessment of prior and concurrent medication use, physician evaluation of patient status, and measurement of Albumin Corrected Serum Calcium level (to be done at baseline and prior to dose escalation, so that results are available prior to the visit) will be performed prior to each dose escalation; in addition, vital signs, ECOG/Karnofsky performance status and VAS pain assessments will be recorded at each visit as well. CT test will be executed during the study period: at baseline, week 12 and week 24 visits in order to assess progression free survival by CT. The tests during the visits will be performed by a physician/nurse. Each subject will receive individual doses of AMOR-powder by escalating doses up to 1,800 mg of ACC powder per day (Amor powder administration will be continuous along the day - each eppendorf every two hours). Patients who will not be able to swallow the powder, will receive similar doses of ACC in tablets. In addition, subject will inhale 1% ACC in 8 ml suspension, for inhalation three times a day. Subject's functionality will be assessed by serially determining ECOG/Karnofsky performance status. Subject's progression free survival will be assessed by CT to evaluate tumor response to treatment.
AIM1a: AYAs with cancer experience many challenges that impact their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) but few measures adequately capture AYAs' HRQOL in valid and reliable ways. The main goal of the study is to expand the use of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) to provide valid and reliable assessment of important HRQOL concerns for AYAs. The study team will do this by validating existing PROMIS measures and developing and validating new measures of financial distress, fertility/parenthood concerns, and body image concerns for AYAs with cancer. AIM1b: Investigators have developed conceptual frameworks and created item pools for body image, fertility, and financial burden domains and are ready to proceed with the next aim of our measure development work, cognitive interview testing.
The investigator propose to evaluate the interest of the provision of a suitable treadmill offering fall protection and verticalization assistance.
A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study of LAM-003 in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
looking at aneuploidy rates in embryos from patients who are going to or have undergone treatment for a malignancy with gonadotoxic treatment.
As the french population is ageing, the question of medical care in elderly cancer patients is fundamental. A third of all cancer patients are 70 years or older. This population has specific challenges: autonomy maintenance, treatments efficacy with limited side effects. As a result of a call to projects, the Geriatric Oncology unit of the French Alps (UCOGAlp) has been selected by the National Institute of Cancer (INCa). It includes 15 centres in the Alpine area. This unit has been evaluated patients since 2011, giving them a full geriatric evaluation and trying to establish adapted cares. In order to evaluate the impact of those evaluation on patients' health, the investigators have developped a geriatric follow-up after 1 month (D30) and 4 months (D120). The investigators want to develop a common data base to these centres, in order to evaluate the care practices that were developped, and demonstrate the benefit for the patient on the dependence level and the overall survival.
The purpose of this pilot study is to encourage oncology patients to continue effort retraining after their release from rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities with physical activity sessions and therapeutic education using an intelligent electric bicycle (VELIS)
The purpose of this study is to develop, implement and undertake a preliminary evaluation of a psychoeducational intervention for managing a cancer-related symptom cluster including pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance experienced by Vietnamese cancer patients.
