Filter by:Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) refers to a group of malignant tumors derived from non-epithelial extraosseous tissues, mainly from the mesoderm, partly from the neuroectoderm, including muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels and peripheral nerves . STS is divided into 12 major categories based on tissue origin. According to different morphologies and biological behaviors, there are more than 50 subtypes. The most common subtypes include: undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), liposarcoma (LPS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma ( SS). The most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents is rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Soft tissue sarcoma is a group of highly heterogeneous tumors, which are characterized by local invasiveness, invasive or destructive growth, local recurrence and distant metastasis. The pathological features of STS that occur in the nasal cavity and sinuses are similar to other parts of the body. However, because it can affect important structures such as the orbit, optic nerve, skull base bone, dura mater, cranial nerve and even brain tissue, the diseased site is deep, the anatomical structure is complex, the treatment is difficult, the range of surgical resection is limited, and the surgical margin Negative is difficult to guarantee, and related treatments may have obvious complications, which affect the survival and prognosis of patients. Surgical treatment is the most important and most likely effective treatment for STS. With the development of endoscopic skull base anatomy and surgical techniques, the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of nasal cavity and sinus tumors have been fully confirmed, and it has become the main surgical method for nasal cavity and sinus STS. This is also the theoretical and practical basis for the feasibility of this research. The study intends to conduct a single-arm, prospective, observational study of endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses to explore the therapeutic effect and complications of endoscopic surgery for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and explore its relationship with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The model of comprehensive treatment between.
Cancer care for head and neck cancers is multidisciplinary and complex and knowledge on the rare ones is limited. There is a wide consensus that to support clinical research on rare cancers, clinical registries should be developed within networks specializing in rare cancers. Our hypothesis is that our head and neck cancer registry established in the framework of the European reference network on rare adults solid cancers will help to: describe the natural history of rare head and neck cancers; evaluate factors that influence prognosis; assess treatment effectiveness; measure indicators of quality of care. The registry is a prospective observational real-world registry. It collects data from already available registries/database and/or directly from expert health care providers (HCP). Information are prospectively collected on patient characteristics; exposure, outcomes and potential confounders (https://euracan.eu/research/starter/rare-head-and-neck-cancer-registry/#codebook). The registry if federated (i.e. data are stored by the data provider). Analyses will be performed using the federated learning approach which split computations into a local part and a central part. The data providers will share sub-computations only. Data quality checks are envisioned to assess whether data value are present, valid and believable. Validity and plausibility checks are embedded in the electronic case report form (CRF) in the form of alerts and errors during the data input. Additional checks are implemented in R and run using the federated learning to ensure a central data quality monitoring. The data analyses will include descriptive statistics showing frequency and patterns of patients' and cancers' variables; analytical analyses investigating the association of patients/disease and/or treatment characteristics and health outcomes. Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) is the coordinator of the EURACAN registry as well as a data provider. At the INT, and at each HCP involved, responsible investigators ensure that the EURACAN registry will be implemented in compliance with the protocol, following the instructions and procedures described herein. Each HCP is a controller and will identify a data processor. The processing of patients' personal data taking part in the registry is compliant with local privacy legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the EU.
Patients with locoregional cancer of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are candidate for this study. All the eligible patients receive three cycles of induction chemotherapy (docetaxel 60mg/m2+cisplatin 60mg/m2+5-FU2.5g/m2,civ48h, q3w) followed by concurrent two cycles of cisplatin (80mg/m2,q3w) with curative intensity modulated radiotherapy. Besides, camrelizumab (200mg) is administrated every three weeks for a total of 11 cycles since the first day of induction chemotherapy. We aim to evaluate the three years failure free survival of these patients by the combination of camrelizumab with curative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
There is no optimal treatment for patients with recurrent head and neck cancer after previous radiation. Chemotherapy alone is not curative and patients survive an average of only 6 to 10 months. Surgery is not always possible and often cannot remove every cancerous cell. On the other hand, reirradiation with chemotherapy cures approximately 25 to 30% of patients but has significant toxicity with as many as 15 to 20% suffering from life-threatening or fatal complications. Therefore, less toxic and more effective reirradiation regimens are urgently needed. There are extensive data from animal studies and preliminary human studies showing that blocking epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and COX-2 enhances radiation effect and is more effective than either treatment alone. Erlotinib is a FDA approved oral inhibitor of EGFR and celecoxib is a FDA approved COX-2 inhibitor. Both have been well studied in humans and appear to have less severe toxicity than conventional chemotherapeutic agents.
