Filter by:Adequate, needs-oriented psycho-oncological care contributes to reducing the burden on cancer patients and their relatives and to improving the quality of life. There is still a need for clarification regarding the need and the determination of psychosocial needs. This multi-center study (3 centers: Hanover, Leipzig and Dresden) aims at a professionalization of psychosocial screening, in order to enable thus an exact and need-based allocation to psycho-oncological support. The optimization and professionalization of the psychosocial screening process shall be achieved by a training of oncological nursing and development of an interdisciplinary care algorithm. The aim is to examine whether "OptiScreen" increases the targeted and needs-based allocation to psycho-oncology.
The primary objective is to compare the performance of Stool-based SDC2 DNA Methylation Test and commercially available Fecal Immunochemical Test(FIT) , on the detection rate of advanced adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer in Chinese population. Subjects with positive results in either test will receive colonoscopy. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.
Open and multicenter randomized clinical trial (1:1) comparing limited screening with extended screening with the performance of Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan in the search for neoplasms in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease at high risk of developing cancer at follow-up. Introduction: Cancer screening in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is controversial. In the last years, a score has been developed that selects patients at high risk of developing cancer during follow-up. Objective: To estimate the impact of an active cancer search strategy using 18-fluordesoxiglucose (FDG) PET-CT in unprovoked VTE with high-risk to develop cancer. Specific Objectives: 1) Number of neoplasms diagnosed in the screening process: 2) number of neoplasms diagnosed at an early stage, 3) impact on survival of the strategy; and 4) impact on the quality of life. Cancer will be considered from 30 days up to 12 months after the diagnosis of VTE. Scope: 20 Spanish hospitals. Design: Open-label, multicentre Randomized clinical trial (1: 1) comparing the performance of PET-CT versus limited screening for cancer. Population: Patients older than 18 years with unprovoked VTE at high risk of presenting cancer at follow-up (≥3 points in the score of Jara-Palomares et al., Chest 2017). Follow-up: 12 months after VTE. Sample: The sample size calculated is 650 patients, to obtain a power of 80%, with a level of significance of 5%, and taking into account a 10% loss of follow-up.
This study aims to develop and validate a test for diagnosing ovarian and endometrial cancers early. It relies on detecting somatic mutations that are associated with these cancers in a biofluids sample taken from the cervix and the uterine cavity.
Background: - The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health needs healthy volunteers for vaccine clinical trials. This is a screening study that is used to identify healthy volunteers who may be eligible to participate in other clinical trials at the Vaccine Research Center that evaluate investigational vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and injection devices. The VRC conducts studies that will allow researchers to better understand the immune system and how vaccines and monoclonal antibodies work. Objectives: - To screen healthy volunteers for clinical trials at the NIAID VRC. Eligibility: - Healthy people between 18 and 60 years of age. They must be available to take part in clinical trials and be able to provide blood for research studies. Design: - Screening for healthy volunteers to participate in clinical trials is an ongoing process. - Volunteers will be asked about their medical history, including sexual activity and drug use, and a detailed physical exam will be performed. - Blood and urine samples may be collected, and possibly other tests as needed to evaluate the volunteer's health status. - Volunteers will not receive any investigational product in this screening protocol....
