Filter by:Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, less than a quarter of patients with lung metastases will achieve a complete response to RAI therapy, and this therapy carries the risk of pulmonary fibrosis and an increasingly recognized risk of secondary malignancies.
The goal of this two-site phase III randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel psychotherapeutic intervention called Emotion and Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE) in parents caring for a child or adolescent with cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does EASE reduce traumatic stress symptom severity (primary outcome)? To do so, researchers will compare parents receiving EASE to usual care. Participants in both groups will complete questionnaires package at enrolment, and 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and 6 months after enrolment. They will also be invited to participate in optional qualitative interviews to better understand their experience.
Exploratory study to evaluate the effect and safety of the use of Ocoxin® oral solution on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours.
This is a randomized Phase II trial evaluating the addition of the Pediatric Cancer Resource Equity (PediCARE) health equity intervention to usual supportive care for poverty-exposed children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. The names of the intervention groups in this research study are: - Usual supportive care - PediCARE + usual supportive care
This study will explore the potential benefits of a virtual reality gaming program that focuses on mindfulness and exercise among pediatric cancer rehabilitation patients. The program will last 8 weeks outside of the hospital. Participants will start immediately in the hospital (immediate start group) or wait 8 weeks after hospital discharge to start the program (waitlist control group).
The goal of this research study is to learn whether investigators can successfully give the PediRISE program to families-in other words, whether most families are interested in participating in a study about the PediRISE program, including a 50-50 chance of receiving standard usual care, and a 50-50 chance of receiving the PediRISE support program. The names of the study groups in this research study are: - PediRISE Program Group - Usual Care Group
Analysis of the individual radiosensitivity in pediatric oncology
Cancer as a life-threatening disease can trigger children's unique spiritual needs. Unmet spiritual needs can cause low level of spiritual well-being, which is a central component for the overall quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients and was inversely associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety and a low level of hope. However, there has been no intervention focused on improving spiritual well-being among childhood cancer patients. Evidence from adult cancer patients suggests that narrative intervention can effectively address spiritual needs and improve spiritual well-being, while playing card game can combine an emotionally sensitive topic with an enjoyable activity, providing insight into the development of narrative-based card games for childhood cancer patients. The first objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of narrative-based card game among Chinese childhood cancer patients. The second objective is to evaluate the preliminary effects of narrative-based card game intervention on spiritual well-being, hope, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and QoL of childhood cancer patients at postintervention and at 1-, and 3-month follow-up postintervention.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent complication of facial cancer treatment, mainly related to radiotherapy. However, while radiological involvement is frequent, clinical expression seems less important. Few studies have investigated the incidence of this condition in the pediatric population while its evolution seems to be very chronic even if a partial improvement may occur with time. Our objective is therefore to study the impact of CSR in children treated for cancer of the cervicofacial region, to evaluate its incidence and medium-term evolution in order to determine whether it is necessary to set up a specific follow-up in these patients. The clinical impact of CSR is assessed by a specific SNOT 22 questionnaire in children treated for a head-neck mesenchymal malignancy in comparison with a control population consisting of children treated for a mesenchymal malignancy of non-head-neck location.
This is a single arm, open-label trial studying the combination of PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor (e.g.pembrolizumab, Sintilimab,Duvarizumab，Camrelizumab )and lenvatinib given at the recommended dose in pediatric and young adolescent patients((5 year-old<age<14 year-old) with TLCT or refractory hepatoblastoma after chemotherapy.
