Filter by:This study intends to explore the clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis of locally recurrent colorectal cancer patients with different treatment modes by retrospectively analyzing the medical records of locally recurrent colorectal cancer patients who received hospitalization in our center. Transcriptome sequencing and public databases were used to screen for molecular markers related to locally recurrent colorectal cancer and to explore molecular markers' regulatory role in the progression of locally recurrent colorectal cancer.
Our preclinical study confirmed that copper accumulation can lead to radioresistance in vitro and in vivo, and reducing the concentration of copper with copper chelator help to overcome radioresistance. Therefore, the investigators plan to carry out a prospective interventional phase II clinical trial to explore the safety and efficacy of penicillamine (a common copper chelator) as a radiosensitizer in the treatment of recurrent head and neck cancer.
Background: Prostate cancer may return after treatment in 30,000 to 50,000 people each year. There is no clear best way to treat these people. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (enzalutamide), both alone and combined with a second drug (M9241), in people with prostate cancer that returned after treatment. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with prostate cancer that returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with blood tests. All their urine will be collected for 24 hours. They will have imaging scans of their chest, abdomen, pelvis, and bones. Their ability to perform everyday activities will be assessed. They may opt to give a stool sample. Participants will be treated in 4-week cycles. Enzalutamide is a pill taken by mouth once a day, every day. All participants will be given a supply of this drug to take at home. M9241 is injected under the skin once a month, on the first day of each cycle. Half of the participants will receive both drugs. All participants will visit the clinic once a month. Each visit should last no more than 8 hours. Blood and urine tests will be repeated. All participants will receive the study treatment for 3 cycles. Some participants may need 3 more cycles of treatment with enzalutamide only. This re-treatment can be done only once. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after they finish treatment. After that, they will have visits every 6 weeks for up to 5 years. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated. ...
Tumor recurrence after curative surgical resection for rectal cancer is a serious complication that greatly affects the overall morbidity and the outcome. This study aims to identify the different prognostic factors affecting recurrence and disease-free survival after surgery.
The axillary management of breast cancer patients with operable isolated chest wall recurrence after mastectomy is unclear. We aim to determine if axillary restaging surgery can be safely omitted with no increased recurrences in this group of patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate tailored duration of long-term anticoagulant treatment after a first venous thromboembolism based on individualized risk assessments of recurrent VTE and major bleeding risks. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire and take a buccal swab, which are used for an individual estimation of the risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. Based on these risks a treatment advise will be made, or randomised in a subgroup of patients.
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and has a good prognosis.According to the 2015 American thyroid association (ATA) guidelines, no gross extrathyroidal extension and the number of pathological lymph node micrometastases (<0.2cm) ≤5 were defined as the low recurrence risk group. After total thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment, the probability of disease-free status (irritant Tg<1ng/ml, no evidence of other disease recurrence) is about 78%-91%, and the probability of structural recurrence is about 1%-10%. In recent years, due to the further understanding of PTC, surgeons tend to become more conservative in treatment, such as active observation or reducing the extent of surgery. The indication for lobectomy has been extended to tumors <4cm without extrathyroidal extension and clinical lymph node metastasis. For patients treated with lobectomy, current guidelines recommend that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) be controlled at 0.5-2 mU/L, but evidence on the prognostic benefits of this TSH inhibition range is lacking.In recent years, a number of studies have suggested that if postoperative TSH in low-risk patients after lobectomy is acceptable within the reference range, it means that a considerable number of patients have a high probability of not receiving thyroxine replacement therapy after surgery, which can significantly improve their quality of life.A previous retrospective study from our institute showed no significant association between TSH levels after lobectomy and prognosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits and risks of postoperative TSH levels within the reference range (0.4-5 mU/L) in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer who underwent lobectomy.In order to improve the effect of longer recurrence and death time of PTC, the investigators also performed postoperative thyroglobulin and its antibody for short-term treatment response evaluation.
From the literature, the success rate (i.e., absence of AF recurrence) of ablation in cases of paroxysmal AF at one year changes between 70 and 85 percent. This rate is considered suboptimal. Currently there are no data that can assess which factors are predictive of recurrence both clinically and electrophysiologically. In particular, it is not known whether and to what extent the atrial substrate present under baseline conditions affects the success rate of the procedure and what relationships exist with other predictors such as age, sex, atrial size at echo, and duration of arrhythmia.
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and has a good prognosis. Surgery is the primary treatment for PTC, and occult lymph node metastasis is not uncommon (20%-80%).The lymph node metastasis of PTC is mostly along the lymphatic drainage path station by station, and most of the first metastasis is to the central lymph node. According to the 2015 American Thyroid Association recommendation, prophylactic central lymph node dissection is recommended for patients with primary T3-4 or cN1b without central lymph node involvement. However, PTC with primary site T1-2, no external invasion and cN0 could not be dissected by central lymph node.Previous studies have suggested that prophylactic dissection should be performed to improve disease-specific survival, reduce local recurrence, improve recurrence risk and treatment response assessment, and help RAI decision making. Although routine prophylactic central lymph node dissection may detect occult lymph node metastasis, the need for further dissection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid gland may lead to an increased incidence of complications, while its effect on reducing the risk of recurrence and improving prognosis is unclear, and the impact on long-term outcomes may be small.Previous retrospective studies in our institution have shown that routine central neck dissection does not significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the benefits and risks of prophylactic central lymph node dissection in cT1b-T2N0 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. In order to ameliorate the effects of relapse and long time of death of PTC, thyroglobulin and its antibodies were also evaluated for short-term treatment response after surgery.
