Filter by:In recent studies, a radiation-induced enteropathy is being reported over 50%. In clinics, probiotics are actively prescribed as a treatment for radiation-induced enteropathy. If probiotics can be used during radiation therapy to prevent or reduce radiation-induced enteropathy, the investigators can 1) reduce the inconvenience which is caused from intestinal toxicity, 2) reduce the unnecessary interruption of radiation therapy, and 3) expect to improve the quality of life.
Continuous regular monitoring of plasma EBV DNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after treatment have rarely been investigated. The investigators try to analyze the long-term observational results (role in early relapse detection and impact on survival) in NPC patients after curative treatment.
The prognosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer is still very poor, even for those who received platinum-based chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy. 2-year survival rate of these patients is only about 10%. Therefore, this study aims to explore a comprehensive treatments with low toxicity to further improve the efficacy for these paitents with PD-1 inhibitor.
Data of 100 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received stereotactic radiotherapy or ct-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation in the multicenter of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 were collected, as well as follow-up data.To evaluate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy and ct-guided 125I seed therapy with 3D printing template in pancreatic cancer;In addition, the local control rate and side effects of ct-guided radioactive 125I particles in the treatment of pancreatic cancer lesions were explored, and the efficacy and safety of different doses of stereotactic radiotherapy were determined.
Data of 100 colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases who received stereotactic radiotherapy of Cyberknife or microwave ablation in the multicenter of the research group from June 2019 to May 2021 were collected, as well as follow-up data.To evaluate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy and microwave ablation in liver metastases.In addition, the local control rate and side effects of stereotactic radiotherapy and microwave ablation in the treatment of liver metastases were explored, and the efficacy and safety of different doses of stereotactic radiotherapy were determined.
Data of 100 patients with spinal metastatic tumor who received stereotactic radiotherapy or conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the multi-center of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 will be collected, as well as their follow-up data.Previous treatment and follow-up data will be analyzed to evaluate the clinical efficacy comparison of stereotactic radiotherapy and conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spinal metastatic tumors, local control rate and side effects, and to clarify the effectiveness and safety of different doses of radiotherapy.
This study aims to investigate the treatment of previously untreated stage I-II Extranodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma with sintilimab, peg-aspargase and anlotinib, "sandwich" with radiotherapy. The primary endpoint is the complete response rate (CRR) at the end of the treatment, and the second endpoints are CRR after two cycles of the combined regimen (CRR2), overall response rate (ORR) at the end of the treatment, survival time (OS and PFS) and toxicities.
The study is a single-arm, phase II trial. The purpose is to investigate both the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with anti-PD-1 antibody in unresectable biliary tract cancer patients.
This cluster randomized controlled pilot study is designed to test the feasibility, and potential effect of a multicomponent, community-based intervention aiming to improve quality of life (QoL) and function for older patients receiving radiotherapy (RT), and thereby reduce the needs for professional help. The intervention will be based on geriatric assessment and management (GAM), i.e. systematic assessment and management of physical, mental and functional problems frequently occurring in the elderly. It will target individual patients according to needs and be carried out in collaboration between hospital and community services from start of RT until 8 weeks post-treatment.
Approximately 3.5% to 6% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients are stage IV metastatic. De novo metastatic breast cancer accounts for 20% to 25% of these cases. Despite a decrease in mortality in Europe and North America due to early detection and access to treatment, breast cancer remains the 2ⁿᵈ leading cause of cancer deaths in developed countries after lung cancer and the world's leading cause. In the ESME French national retrospective cohort (NCT03275311), the newly diagnosed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and HER2-negative (luminal) metastatic patients had a 59.1 months overall survival (OS) for pre-menopausal women and 44.7 months for postmenopausal women. In the same cohort, the median OS was 47.4 months for de novo metastatic patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer. The most important current treatment for metastatic breast cancer remains systemic therapy. Surgery and radiation are mainly used to treat symptoms. However, more than 15 retrospective studies have assessed the impact of locoregional treatment on relapse and OS. These studies suggested an improvement of the OS in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer thanks to the addition of locoregional treatment to systemic therapy. Recent data from the ESME cohort suggest that patients with de novo luminal or HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer may benefit from local treatment of the primary tumor. Several prospective trials have attempted to demonstrate the benefit of locoregional treatment with mixed results. This can be explained by a limited power of statistical analysis, on the recruitment of patients with breast cancer of all types, and on a limited access to effective systemic therapies in some cases and all before the area of anti CD4/6 which is the current standard treatment in patients with HR-positive / HER2-negative luminal metastatic disease. However, guidelines indicate that a "multimodal approach, including curative locoregional treatments, should be considered". As a result, many clinicians offer locoregional treatment of the primary tumor, especially if there is a good response to the first line of systematic treatment. Taken together, these data underscore the need for an evaluation of the value of combined therapy - endocrine therapy - CDK4/6 inhibitor and locoregional treatment - in this population of patients with newly diagnosed HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer.
