Filter by:Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) could be a very aggressive cancer and has a bad prognosis if not detected early and thus is associated with high mortality. The development of simple and reliable biomarkers for the early detection of SCC is one of the solutions to better diagnose, treat these tumors, evaluate and monitor treatments, and hence reduce mortality. In a previous work, the investigators demonstrated the ability of Proton Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to non-invasively assess spectroscopic and metabolic profiles of tongue tissue in healthy subjects. In the present work, the investigators challenge the use of in-vivo 1H-MRS as a potential method for non-invasive metabolic monitoring of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue undergoing therapy. Thus the main objective is to study the spectroscopic and metabolic differences, e.g. including variation in the metabolite TMA-Cho (trimethylamine-choline), of tongue tissue between healthy subjects and in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, before and after surgery.
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma accounts for ~90% of the nearly half-million annual incident cases of esophageal cancer worldwide. The high costs and invasiveness of upper endoscopy constitute a limitation in providing adequate surveillance for at-risk individuals, including those with previous head and neck cancer. The ANGELA study is a prospective evaluation of the minimally-invasive capsule-sponge device, coupled with tissue biomarkers (p53-immunohistochemistry), to detect squamous neoplasia in high-risk individuals.
The goal of this observational study is to find out if Raman Spectroscopy, a type of imaging, can be used to determine the size of skin cancer tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: -Can Raman Spectroscopy help figure out how far a tumor spreads? This study will take measurements using laser light from an experimental, handheld probe by lightly touching the skin.
Bronchial arterial infusion plus bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BAI-BACE) has been reported as non-first-line therapy to treat lung cancer in many hospitals in China. BAI, which uses chemotherapeutic drugs directly injected into the tumor and achieved a high concentration in a short time to kill the tumor. Then BACE could seal off the tumor vessels. In this study, we aim to describe the efficacy and safety of BAI-BACE as non-first-line for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the ability of mass spectrometry imaging to locate aggregates of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ex-vivo, and to distinguish areas containing these carcinomas from normal skin. It is suggested that non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) cells show a different profile of endogenous lipids than healthe skin tissue which can be used as identifying biomarkers. If that hypothesis is correct it will be possible in the future to develop real-time tissue diagnosis and treatment of NMSC using mass spectrometry guided surgery. Method between 60 and 100 patients with BCCs, SCCs, and actinic keratoses (AK) will be recruited. For patients referred for Mohs surgical procedure at the Department of Dermatology, Bispebjerg Hospital, to treat BCCs or SCCs, three skin sections (5-10 um thick) of the tissue that is already removed will be use in our study. One section will be HE stained so we know exactly where the regions of interest are. Two sections will be used for MS analysis (MSI spectrum and REIMS spectrum). When patients are referred for a procedure to have treated several actinic keratoses (grade 1, 2 or 3) at Department of Dermatology, Bispebjerg Hospital we will take an extra punch biopsy (2-4 mm) depending on the size of the lesion. The biopsy is embedded and sectioned. We will use 3 skin sections (5-10 um thick) we will again use one section for HE staining and two for MS analysis. Multivariate statistical analysis will be performed on all mass spectra using Matlab or similar program. Linear discriminant analysis will be used to identify spectral differences between pre-malignant, cancer and normal tissue. Classification performance will be recorded with a leave-one- patient- out cross- validation scheme.
The purpose of the study is to determine if it is feasible to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to adjust a portion of radiation therapy for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma . The technique under study will be used to personalize the study treatment based on response, keeping all treatments within standard of care guidelines.
This multi-site, Phase 1/2 clinical trial is an open-label study to identify the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 for the treatment of patients with radiographically-confirmed progression of Astrocytoma IDH-mutant, Glioblastoma IDH-wildtype, and the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 when given with select SOC for the treatment of solid tumor patients with radiographically confirmed uncontrolled brain metastasis. The study will have three phases, Phase 1, Phase 2a and Phase 2b.
The care of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck area is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. A key component in this care is the need and experience of patients. However, studies on the experiences and needs of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the head-neck region are lacking.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) MK-3475A in Japanese participants with recurrent or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or locally advanced unresectable cSCC. The primary hypothesis is that MK-3475A will result in greater than 10% objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR).
This study examines tumor- en surgical characteristics of stage T3 cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas on the scalp, diagnosed between 2010 and 2018. Histological data and patient- and tumor characteristics were collected.
