The treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of lung has not improved suffuciently. Nedaplatin is a second-generation platinum compound that is more active against squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with a response rate of 60%, issued by the finished Phase II trial in Japan.
SmartMatrix™ is a single layer dermal replacement scaffold for full thickness skin replacement. The scaffold consists of a porous matrix of cross-linked human fibrin plus alginate that has been designed and optimised to facilitate wound closure and healing through cellular ingress and rapid growth of new blood vessels. This proof of concept study will involve patients with surgical wounds resulting from the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma SCC).
A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DKN-01 in combination with weekly paclitaxel or pembrolizumab in participants with relapsed or refractory Esophagogastric Malignancies
The investigators hypothesize that a low number of SCC in OTR will metastasize.
The purpose of this study is to correlate pathological features from specimens in order to determine if this new molecular diagnostic technique can be used to detect risk of skin cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new instrument that shines light and takes digital pictures of skin. The goal is to develop a technique that may enable fast and accurate assessment of surgical margins in the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The investigators will evaluate the pictures obtained by the confocal microscope to determine whether this technique may be useful in the future for helping Mohs surgeons remove cancers. In the future, patients may benefit with shorter surgery and improved care.
Whether low-dose radiation in addition to Taxotere and Erbitux improves the response rate of patients with recurrent unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The investigators hope to compare two different methods of closing skin wounds using sutures. One of these methods (the set-back technique) was recently described in 2010 and has been reported to be technically easier and reduces the chance of spitting sutures (deep sutures that are pushed to the surface of the skin as the wound heals). The other method (the vertical mattress technique) has been used for many years with good results. However, no controlled studies have been performed to clearly demonstrate a difference between the two methods. We hope to find differences in the height of the wound edges immediately after surgery(5 minutes following the procedure) as well as the appearance of the scar and symptoms associated with the scar 3 months after surgery.
The investigators hypothesize that everting wound edges while suturing surgical sites will result in more aesthetic scars. Additionally, we also hypothesize that small to moderate wound irregularities present at 3 months will resolve by 6 months after surgery with no intervention
