Filter by:This study aims to develop a multimodal model combining radiomic and pathomic features to predict pathological complete response (pCR) in advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The researchers intended to collected pre-intervention CT images and pathological slides from patients, extract radiomic and pathomic features, and build a prediction model using machine learning algorithms. The model will be validated using a separate cohort of patients. This research intend to build a radiomic-pathomic model that can outperform models based on either radiomic or pathomic features alone, aiming to improve the prediction of pCR in gastric cancer.
The aim of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy on people with a relatively rare type of gastric cancer. Participants will take the anti-PD-1 inhibitor (Tislelizumab) and platinum-based chemotherapy (oxaliplatin + capecitabine or oxaliplatin + S-1) in a 3-week cycle, followed by a radical operation after 6 cycles.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths yearly. Cancer-related deaths can be reduced if patients are diagnosed and treated early. Delay in cancer diagnosis can occur at any point along the diagnostic spectrum, from the first observation of symptoms to the start of treatment. Diagnosing cancer when it is still at an early stage, before it has spread, gives surgery, radiotherapy and other treatments the best chance of working. Therefore, early diagnosis is the most important way to improve cancer outcomes. Most of the cancers usually presents with vague and non-alarming symptoms. Most individuals are diagnosed late when the cancer has already spread, and the prognosis is poor. There are over 200 different types of cancer that can cause many different signs and symptoms. Sometimes symptoms affect specific body areas, such as abdomen or skin. But signs can also be more general, and include weight loss, tiredness (fatigue) or unexplained pain. The type of symptoms varies from person to person. The major reasons for not presenting to the GP with symptoms such as these are "not wanting to waste the GP's time" and normalisation of these symptoms. The persistence of a symptom, social influence and awareness encourage help-seeking behaviours in primary care. However, few believe their symptom(s) might be a sign of cancer. Consequently, people might choose to self-manage their symptoms by using over-the-counter medication, and to seek advice from other sources, (pharmacists, family, internet), rather than a primary care physician. RATIONALE FOR CURRENT STUDY An early cancer diagnosis is essential for receiving treatment as early as possible to have the best chance for successful treatment. Early diagnosis of cancer can be challenging. Sometimes, the cancer symptoms resemble common illnesses and could resolve with the use of over-the-counter medications and other remedies until they become persistent or debilitating. The present study focuses on ten cancer forms: colon, oesophageal, stomach, liver, bladder, uterine, vulval, ovarian, endometrial and pancreatic. Patients diagnosed with the cancers mentioned above often report experiencing vague symptoms (such as abdominal or back pain, indigestion, feeling full etc). They often use over-the-counter medication to manage their symptoms before seeing a doctor. Information about how often and what products participants purchase (e.g. pain killers, digestive products and natural remedies) to care for these symptoms could help identify these cancers a few crucial weeks or months earlier and encourage people to seek help sooner from their doctors.
The goal of the study is to learn about Safety and efficacy of preoperative adjuvant SOX regimen combined with PD-1 antibody versus FLOT Regimen with PD-1 antibody in localized deficient mismatch repair gastric cancer. The main question it aims to answer are: - Safety and efficacy of preoperative adjuvant SOX regimen combined with PD-1 antibody versus FLOT regimen with PD-1 antibody for the treatment of localized deficient mismatch repair gastric cancer - Disease-free survival of preoperative adjuvant SOX plus PD-1 antibody and FLOT plus PD-1 antibody for dMMR and locally advanced gastric cancer. Participants will be divided into two groups to use a FLOT chemotherapy regimen plus PD-1 antibody and a SOX chemotherapy regimen plus PD-1 antibody. Researchers would compare tumor regression grade, adverse effects and survival benefit of two preoperative adjuvant regimens.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effect of surgery in metastatic gastric cancer patients who are accessed as having opportunity for surgery under Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) evaluation. The main question it aims to answer is: Does surgery extend survival time in metastatic gastric cancer patients who are accessed as having opportunity for surgery under Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) evaluation?
The aim of this project is to study the presence of cancer-associated adipocytes in oesogastric cancers and their possible links with myosteatosis. This research project has a retrospective component, the aim of which is to analyse the body component based on imaging in patients with oesogastric neoplasia in order to determine the incidence of myosteatosis and to study the relationship with oncological and prognostic data. The second part of the project is prospective and will collect biological material (skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, tumour, blood) for histological, molecular and genomic analyses and will analyse muscle function in patients with oesogastric cancer. It will address the role of adipocytes in the tumour microenvironment of oesogastric cancer, focusing on their interactions with the observed muscle myosteatosis and prognosis. In the future, it will help to identify signalling pathways, targets and patients who could benefit from appropriate treatment.
This clinical trial evaluates the usefulness of various risk assessment tests, including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) breath testing, questionnaires, and endoscopies for identifying participants at high risk for stomach cancer. H. pylori is a bacteria that causes stomach inflammation and ulcers in the stomach. People with H. pylori infections may be more likely to develop cancer in the stomach. H. pylori breath testing can help identify the presence of H. pylori infection in a participant and help identify if the participant may be at a higher risk of developing stomach cancer. An endoscopy uses a thin, flexible lighted tube that is inserted inside the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. This allows the doctor to see and look for abnormal areas that may need to be biopsied. Risk assessment including H. pylori evaluation, questionnaires, and endoscopies may help identify participants at high risk for stomach cancer and may be a useful screening tool for earlier stomach cancer diagnosis.
A complete omentectomy is typically recommended during radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, though its impact on survival remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the frequency and risk factors of metastases in the greater omentum in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy. It will involve a single prospective cohort of consecutive patients who underwent total gastrectomy with complete en bloc omentectomy and modified D2 lymphadenectomy. Post-surgery, the omentum will dissect from the gastrectomy specimen beyond the gastroepiploic vessels and examine separately for pathological assessment. The primary outcome will focus on the detection of omental metastases.
In this study, investigators utilize a radiopathomics integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) supportive system to predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) before its administration for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). By the system, the postoperative tumor regression grade (TRG) of the participants will be identified based on the radiopathomics features extracted from the pre-nCRT Enhanced CT and biopsy images. The ability to predict TRG will be validated in this multicenter, prospective clinical study.
The KOrean QUality of life in Stomach cancer patients Study group (KOQUSS) made a method (KOQUSS-40) for assessing appropriately the quality of life of gastric cancer patients who have undergone gastrectomy, and developed a digital platform (Wecare) based on KOQUSS-40. In this study, we propose a randomized controlled trial to compare quality of life after gastrectomy in patients with and without smartphone app support.
