Filter by:The purpose of the study is to observe the effect of PD-1 Antibody（Tislelizumab） Combined With Capecitabine as Adjuvant Therapy to Prevent the Recurrence in High-risk Patients With Cholangiocarcinoma After Curative Resection.
The investigator propose a single-center randomized phase II controlled study designed to compare the management of first recurrence of GBM using etoposide versus tamoxifen.
This trial aims to test the effects of two different diets on the recurrence of acute pancreatitis, and acute pancreatitis associated mortality.
The study includes participants experiencing distress with regard to stopping immunotherapy and will utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy to reduce fear of recurrence, depression, and anxiety and improve quality of life.
Wilms' tumour staging and grading are used to give an idea about the prognosis. Advanced staging, diffuse anaplasia, predominant blastemal elements and lymph node invasion are indicators of poor prognosis. In spite of using the previously mentioned parameters, some tumours which were considered of low risk did not respond to therapy and eventually resulted in mortality. In contrast, other tumours assumed to be of poor prognosis responded dramatically to treatment. In light of the above, it is crucial to search for predictors of Wilms' tumour prognosis other than tumour staging and grading. Many immunohistochemical (IHC) stains have been studied as prognostic markers for nephroblastoma in literature.
To investigate the most preventable option to reduce primary spontaneous postoperative recurrence.
Primitive bone sarcoma are rare tumors with low options of therapy for patient treatment. 1. OSTEOSARCOMA VERY POOR RESPONDER COHORT. Necrosis on primitive localized osteosarcoma represents one of the principal prognostic factors. Nowadays, for localized osteosarcoma there is no maintenance therapy that have shown to be effective. In ISG-OS1 study in patients with necrosis < 60% had an event free survival (EFS) at 3 yrs of 20% (Ferrari S ) in a more recent analysis (Tsuda Y 2020) patients with a necrosis <60% had a 3 y EFS of 35% . 2. OSTEOSARCOMA AND EWING'S SARCOMA AFTER FIRST RELAPSE Maintenance therapy after Complete Remission occurring after Ewing's sarcoma or osteosarcoma patients is not a standard rule. These patients when free from disease, after first relapse, are more likely to face a second relapse. EFS at ONE YEAR after first relapse in osteosarcoma is shown in literature to be around 21% (Leary SE 2013) and 16% (Tirtei E 2017). The EFS at ONE YEAR after first relapse in Ewing's sarcoma is inferior to 20% (Barker 2005, Ferrari S 2015). A maintenance therapy with low toxicity in these high risk patients could be an option. Metformin has been reported to a reduce the incidence of different type of cancer in diabetic patients. Metformin is well tolerated in diabetics an it is used in other conditions in non diabetic, as ovarian polycystic syndrome, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Metformin has been employed as chemoprevention related to its mechanism of action in breast cancer (NCT01101438 ) and in pediatric cancer together with chemotherapy (NCT01528046). This study aim to explore the effectiveness of metformin (a low cost and well tolerated drug) as maintenance therapy in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma patients at high risk of relapse.
This phase I trial is to find out the possible side effects of pembrolizumab and radiation therapy before and during surgery in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that remains despite treatment (persistent) or has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab and radiation therapy before and during surgery may kill more tumor cells.
According to clinical guidelines, endoscopic surgery (mono- or bipolar TURBT, laser resection, en bloc resection) is a standard treatment option for patients with primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) (excluding carcinoma in-situ). However, more than half of patients will experience local recurrence after surgery. It is believed that one of the main causes for this local recurrence is the reimplantation of tumor cells during endoscopic surgery. It is crucial to limit contact between the resected tumor and the bladder wall during the operation and to extract the specimen as quickly as possible. In the case of a small tumor, the surgeon can immediately remove it using an endoscopic instrument. There are a number of methods available for removing large tumors, but it is not yet clear which one is most optimal. Therefore, comparing the oncological results from evacuating bladder tumors using various methods is very timely. Based on the previously mentioned studies, the investigators assume that the rate of bladder cancer relapse out site of the resection area would be lower in the morcellation group compared with piecemeal resection of the tumor. In order to prove this, the investigators plan to conduct a randomized study comparing the relapse rate in these two groups.
According to the standard treatment guidelines established until recently, in the case of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence without systemic metastasis, salvage mastectomy or lumpectomy can be performed when either partial or whole breast radiation therapy is possible. On the other hand, there are currently no standard treatment guidelines for axillary treatment, and the evidence for this is limited. Axillary lymph node metastasis was reported to occur in about 26% of breast cancer patients who had negative sentinel lymph nodes from previous surgery for primary breast cancer and only local recurrence occurred. It is still important in the decision of treatment or adjuvant radiation therapy. However, it is known that most of the patients with ipsilateral breast recurrence do not have axillary lymph node metastasis. Therefore, performing axillary axillary surgery in all of these patients does not help the patient's survival in many cases, but rather can lead to complications such as lymphedema and seroma and postoperative wound infection. A question about the implementation of axillary lymph node resection has been raised and for this reason, it is necessary to study whether surveillance lymph node biopsy is still effective in patients with recurrence in the ipsilateral breast. Most of the studies on ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence without systemic metastasis reported to date are case reports or small retrospective studies. In addition, the combined meta-analysis also has limitations in that the study design is not uniform, and there are many cases in which primary breast cancer surgery performed total mastectomy or axillary lymph node dissection. This study is a multicenter prospective study designed to validate the clinical effectiveness of repeat-SLNB conducted in patients with ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence among patients who previously underwent breast conservation and sentinel lymph node biopsy for unilateral primary breast cancer.
