Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC), second leading cause of cancer worldwide, is associated with a poor prognosis, especially in patients with advanced disease. Therefore, there is still a need to develop new prognostic tools to replace or supplement those routinely used, with the aim to optimize treatment strategies. Studies on gut microbiota composition provide new strategies to identify powerful biomarkers. Indeed, beyond its beneficial functions for the host, increasing evidences suggest that gut microbiota is a key factor involved in CRC carcinogenesis. Many clinical studies have described an imbalance in the gut microbiota (dysbiosis) in CRC patients, with the emergence of pathogenic bacterial species, Recent studies reported that pks-positive E. coli, a pathogenic bacterial producing toxin encoded by the pks genomic island, is more frequently detected in CRC patients, suggesting a possible role in tumor development. Therefore, this suggests the potential use of microbial signatures associated with CRC for prognostic assessment. Furthermore, influence of body composition profile (BMI, sarcopenia, metabolic syndrome) also appears to be a new relevant prognostic tool regarding surgical and oncological outcomes following CRC surgery. The aim of this translational research project is to study the impact of these new prognostic tools on surgical and oncologic results in a prospective cohort of patients who underwent CRC surgery at the Digestive Surgery Department of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand (France). This could allow to optimize treatment strategies and provide new ways to identify news promising biomarkers associations in order to better define high risk patients. Investigators aim to identify specific microbial signatures associated with some metabolic profiles in order to improve surgical morbidity and/or response to cancer therapies.
The primary purpose of the proposed study is to validate our previously developed predictive model for adults with obstructive sleep apnea using (i) clinical data from multiple large academic centers, (ii) a longer follow-up period, and (iii) an extended definition of outcomes of interest. The TOH sleep database was created as a part of the project: "Validation of provincial health administrative data algorithms to identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): Feasibility project". Protocol ID: 20170591-01H (AMENDMENT APPROVED on December 19, 2018) to be used for future clinical, research, educational and quality improvement purposes.
This study aims to analyze the multi-omics results between uterine cervical adenocarcinoma patients with and without human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The multi-omics profiles include genome wide association study (GWAS), whole exome sequencing, analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. The HPV integration status is interpreted by GWAS. A comprehensive multi-omics will reveal the role of HPV integration in the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis and prognosis of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma.
For bone lesions treated with chemotherapy or targeted therapy, particularly for sarcomas that originate in bones, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 is spurious because bone lesions are typically located in irregularly shaped bones, are difficult to measure accurately, and usually respond more slowly to treatment than soft tissue lesions. Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) allows for response to be measured in the absence of anatomic changes through assessment of metabolic activity. It does not, however, account for morphologic changes. This study evaluated whether clinical imaging findings of sarcomas after preoperative chemotherapy correlate with tumor responses by pathological evaluation using the rate of necrosis to develop reliable and quantitative clinical response criteria.
Periprocedural bleeding events are frequent during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), mainly driven by vascular complications and are associated to a worse prognosis. Therefore, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is often required, although it is associated with worsened outcomes. There is no consensus on the optimal transfusion strategy after bleeding. The Transfusion Requirements in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TRITAVI) will be a multicenter retrospective registry enrolling consecutive patients who underwent TAVI; the primary aim of the study will be to test whether RBC transfusion is a marker or an independent predictor of adverse events.
This study aims to analyze the expression of micro-RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) by next-generation sequencing in patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and benign gynecologic diseases. The candidate miRNA/lncRNA will be validated as biomarker for the detection and prognosis of HGSOC.
Main objective: To design a precision risk stratification system that predicts individual risk of rejection
It is very significant that assessing TN staging in esophageal cancer patients before surgery, furthermore, determining the optimize surgical strategy, predict the the efficacy of radiotherapy for patients who were not chosen to be surgeried, and define the range of lymph node for radiotherapy. It has been reported that the application of MRI in metastasis of lymph node of other cancer, but not in metastasis lymph node with esophageal cancer. Only a few studies focused on T staging using conventional MRI in esophageal cancer, however, relatively new sequences in the chest deserve widely used. To develop a pre-treatment evaluation methods for TN staging in patient with esophageal cancer by utilization of the new imaging methods (T2-TSE-BLADE, T2 maps, StarVIBE). By analysising the relationship between TN staging and imaging features to find the imaging characteristics for TN staging, and to find the indicators of magnetic resonance imaging new technology and reference values for facilitate pre-treatment diagnosis of lymphnode metastasis, optimize surgical strategy, predict the the efficacy of adjunctive therapy, and OS and define the range of lymph node for radiotherapy, as making personal treatment planning for esophageal cancer.
Prognostic assessment after preoperative systemic therapy (PST) plays a vital role in breast cancer patients. The clinical-pathologic staging system incorporating estrogen receptor (ER)-negative disease and nuclear grade 3 tumor pathology (CPS+EG staging system) can effectively predict prognosis after PST. The Neo-Bioscore has been developed by the incorporation of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status into the CPS+EG staging system. But in a real world in China, the both staging systems had limits because of trastuzumab administration varied a lot in China from the United States. This retrospective study will validate CPS+EG and Neo-Bioscore system and explored a modified Neo-Bioscore system in multiple centers.
This retrospective observation is to investigate the incidence,clinical outcomes and prognosis of hospitalized heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).
