Filter by:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide, accounting for 15% of all male cancers. In 2015, there were 220,800 estimated new cases of prostate cancer and 27,540 deaths by PCa, making this disease the second leading cause of cancer-related death for North American men. Men with PCa may develop lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) when prostate tumors invade or compress the prostatic urethra, the bladder or the neurovascular bundles, or when the prostate is enlarged. It has been estimated that over 40% of men with PCa experience moderate or severe LUTS. LUTS can impact profoundly on a man's quality of life (QoL); an effect that increases with increasing LUTS severity. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) can offer immediate relief of the obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In contrast, palliative TURP (p-TURP) (the so-called "channel" TURP), is transurethral resection of prostate tissue in a patient with metastatic or locally advanced and/or previously treated PCa to alleviate obstructive voiding symptoms. Al¬though TURP is commonly performed to relieve bladder outlet ob¬struction (BOO) symptoms in patients with BPH, little known about the outcome of palliative transurethral plasma kinetic resection of prostate (p-TUPKRP) in patients with ad-vanced PCa. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are the standard treatment for many patients with PCa, particularly those with advanced or metastatic disease. The impact of ADT on tumor control and achieving the reduction in prostate specific antigen (PSA) is well established. But there is less information available on the effects on LUTSs in men with PCa. Some short-term studies of ADT with the GnRH antagonist or with ADT in the neoadjuvant setting have demonstrated reductions in LUTSs, measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). There are few published data on the longer-term effects of ADT on LUTSs, apart from an earlier interim analysis of data from the current study. In this study, p-TUPKRP combined with ADT will perform for 50 patients with advanced PCa complicated with severe LUTS. As a control, other 50 advanced PCa patients with same symptoms will be treated with ADT only. Some clinical data, including PSA, IPSS, QoL, Urinary flow rate (UFR), ECOG Score, Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), will be analyzed. It is expected to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy to advanced PCa with severe LUTS.
ICAN was a non-interventional study to explore the EGFR gene mutation status, clinical outcome and recurrent risk factors in early stage Chinese NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology after complete resection (NIS-OCN-DUM-2009/1). The study had enrolled 571 patients from Apr. 2010 to Dec. 2010 in 24 sites located in the mainland of China. The study had completed and major results showed that EGFR mutation rate was 55.1% and 3-year DFS rate was 61.7% in early stage Chinese NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology after complete resection. Postoperative pathologic stage, gender, surgical and resection types had a statistically significant association with 3-year DFS. This study is ICAN extension study with the purpose to collect the overall survival data from previous ICAN study. Approximately 571 patients who participated in ICAN study will be enrolled.
To standardize the surgery for advanced right hemi colon cancer with laparoscopy and investigate whether dorsal and medial hybrid approach could improve disease-free survival in patients with right colon cancer, compared with traditional medial-to-lateral approach in laparoscopic righ hemicolectomy.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common tumors in Asia. According to the recent research, surgical procedure could provide more treatment benefit in rectal cancer. Therefore, it was consider that important to standardized and improved the surgical procedure for rectal cancer. With the development of anatomical technique, minimally surgery with laparoscopy had become the trend for surgical treatment. There were several studies has been done to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery. In order to achieve better surgical outcome and reduce operative complications, the investigators design stratified randomization, double blinded, muti - center clinical trail to investigate the value of left colic artery in laparoscopic radical rectectomy.
To standardize the surgery for advanced right hemi colon cancer with laparoscopy and investigate whether extended lymphadenectomy (CME) could improve disease-free survival in patients with right colon cancer, compared with D3 radical operation in laparoscopic colectomy.
