Filter by:The aim of study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of using mobile phone photographs versus conventional clinical examination as a screening tool for early detection of oral cancer.
This case-control study aims to investigate if oral microbioma is associated with developing oral (pre)malignant disease.
The aim of this diagnostic accuracy study is to evaluate the application of artificial intelligence on the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection and premalignant gastric lesions based on upper endoscopic images. We use techniques of artificial intelligence to analyze the correlation between endoscopic images and urea breath test results/histopathological results.
To evaluate the design, safety and efficacy of OralViome Cancer Testing system in the early detection of Oral and Throat Cancers using saliva metatranscriptomic analysis. This study will recruit only at existing clinical sites and will NOT use any additional clinical sites.
In this multicenter study, the goal was to document the excisional biopsy or follow-up results of high risk lesions diagnosed on image guided CNB/VAB, and evaluate the clinical, imaging and histologic features for associated malignancy risk. The possibility of upgrade related to histologic subtype, tissue sampling and other variables was also evaluated.
Synucleins are a family of small, highly conserved proteins found in vertebrates and are specially abundant in neurons particularly in presynaptic terminals (Surguchov et al., 2001). Gamma-synuclein is the third member of the synuclein family, and is predominantly found in the cytosol of tumor cells and functions both intra- and extra-cellularly. It is involved in the pathogenesis of different types of cancer and some neurodegenerative diseases (Liu et al., 2018). Smoking - a major risk factor for oral cancer and its progression - and nicotine-containing products were found to time-dependently up-regulate the Gamma-synuclein expression in cancer cells (Hsu et al., 2020a). Gamma-synuclein is released from tumor cells and was found to be elevated in tumors such as urinary bladder cancer (Liu et al., 2016), colorectal cancer, gastric adenocarcinomas and esophageal cancer (Liu et al., 2012). It is present in blood, serum, cerebrospinal fluid and saliva. The detection of extracellular synucleins in body fluids can reveal the first steps of the disease thus it can be used as a potential tool for early cancer detection (Surguchov, 2016). This study aims to identify the diagnostic accuracy of Gamma-synuclein in differentiating between oral malignant lesions and oral premalignant lesions.
This study evaluates the influence of the transversus abdominis plane block on the intensity of postoperative pain and the concentration of proinflammatory and pain factors after hysterectomy by laparotomy. The patients will be randomized in three groups.In the first group, patients will receive intravenous, systemic, multimodal analgesia.In the second group there will be patients in who will be given the TAP block. The TAP block will be given postoperatively before waking. It will be given bilaterally in the before mentioned anatomic region (the so-called lateral TAP block). In the third group there will be patients who will be treated with TAP block in addition to systemic, mutimodal analgesia. The research will be based on completing a questionnaire (VAS scale and QoR questionnaire) and taking peripheral blood out. We expect that the concentration of proinflammatory and pain factors in patients treated with a TAP block will be lower and the quality of recovery will be better than that of patients receiving standard analgesic therapy (systemic multimodal analgesia).
Objectives: Investigating the level of salivary 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in oral premalignant and malignant lesions in order to determine their diagnostic value for the malignant patients. Design: 120 subjects diagnosed with oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) along with healthy control subjects were included. Salivary samples from all participants were collected. 8-OHdG was measured by ELISA technique and the TAC level was assessed by a photometric test system.
This pilot trial studies how well a diabetes prevention program with or without hunger training works in helping to lower breast cancer risk in obese participants. A diabetes prevention program involves learning about and receiving materials on different strategies to encourage weight loss, and hunger training involves learning how to recognize hunger. It is not yet known whether adding hunger training to a diabetes prevention program helps participants control their weight that could reduce the risk of some cancers.
This is a multicenter minimal risk or burden prospective 3-cohort follow-up and monitoring study that aims to collect clinical, socio-psychological, medico-economics data and biospecimens for patients with oral potentially malignant lesions (OPML) or resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) : - Cohort A: OPML patients. - Cohort B (specific design): smokers (adults who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime) motivated to quit - either current smokers (who currently smokes cigarettes every day (daily) or some days (nondaily)) or former smokers (adults who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, but say they currently do not smoke) who stops smoking within 3 months prior to the diagnosis - with a resectable HNSCC requiring postoperative radiotherapy or chemoradiation. - Cohort C: Patients with resectable HNSCC non-eligible to cohort B. The primary objective of this study is the identification of biomarkers (predictive of malignant transformation or second primary tumor) and new strategies for prevention and therapy, mainly through extensive genomic, epigenomic and immune characterization of OPML and HNSCC.
