Filter by:Helicobater pylori plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer. Eradication therapy can reducing the morbidity of gastric cancer, but can't totally prevent it especially when atrophy and more serious precancerous lesions already happened. Prior studies found the gastric bacterial difference among gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer. However, they didn't reach an agreement. Correa's model is widely accepted in the development of gastric cancer. The pathological change makes a more suitable environment for bacteria to overgrowth. This study are designed to analyze the gastric microbial difference of non-atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer.
This study is designed to compare the three chemotherapy regimens(TEGAFOX Sequential S-1 or SOX Sequential S-1 or SOX non-Sequential S-1) for postoperative patients with gastric cancer, observe and record the efficacy and tolerance,to evaluate which regimen is better.
As the number of obesity continues to increase, surgical oncologist pay more attention to the effect of obesity on surgical outcomes and survival of digestive systemin cancers. Body mass index(BMI) is one of the most widely used measurements of obesity. Abdominal fat area (AFA) calculated by computed tomography is popular because of its validity of fat distribution. There is still no consensus which of BMI and AFA could be the more effective measurement and more accurate to evaluate effect of obesity on surgical outcomes and survival. Gastric cancer is one of the most common digestive system cancers, and gastrectomy is the primary therapeutic options.It is important to compare the different measurements(BMI or AFA) to assess obesity and effect on surgical outcome and survival for gastric cancer patients.
The researching subject is aimed to obtain the clinical evidences (including real benefits， risks ,etc. ) of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer by compared with the outcomes that not accept the traditional Chinese medicine. the subject acquires these clinical practices by using the methods of multicenter、persisting registry (the real world researching technology ) and propensity score.
Perioperative chemotherapy is the gold standard treatment in the resectable and advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The efficacy of this strategy has been demonstrated in two randomized studies (1,2). It reduces tumour size before surgery, treats micrometastases and evaluates chemosensitivity. Disease free and overall survival rates were significantly improved with perioperative chemotherapy compared to surgery alone. However, the limitation of these studies is that among all patients requiring chemotherapy, almost 70% of patients will not have the complete sequence. This sequence is defined by the administration of 2 to 4 cycles before and 2 to 4 cycles after the surgery, according to the protocol. The major cause of absence or impossibility of realization of postoperative chemotherapy was the presence of postoperative complication, postoperative serious asthenia and impaired nutritional and physical status (1,2). Poor physical condition assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, reflecting a reduced physiological reserve, is predictive of postoperative complications (3,4). A physical training, even during a short period and on a various population, is beneficial in improving physical condition, cardiopulmonary function and muscular mass of the patient (5-8). A prehabilitation over a 6 week period between surgical consultation and surgery decreases postoperative morbidity and the hospital stay in cardiovascular surgery but no study has ever been performed in the gastric or oesophageal cancer (7,9). Prehabilitation revolves around three axes: 1) a physical training based on initial cardiopulmonary exercise testing (VO2peak, anaerobic threshold (AT) and 6-min walk test (6MWT)), 3 times by week, supervised by a physical therapist 2) a nutritional care to ensure the compliance of the nutrition program and adapt the nutritional management based on protein and energy needs and on the level of spontaneous oral intake and 2) a psychological treatment by a psychologist to reduce preoperative anxiety. To our knowledge, no study ever focused on the gastroesophageal cancer. The benefit of prehabilitation in this cancer may be particularly important because 1) this surgery is associated with a high postoperative morbidity (40%, especially respiratory) and mortality (5%) 2) the physical and nutritional status of these patients is often precarious (cancer cachexia, gastroesophageal obstruction), and 3) the need to preoperative chemotherapy declines physical reserves and is associated with a lengthening of the time between consultation and surgery of more than 3 months (10). Also, the investigators hypothesize that with a physical training, a personalized nutritional support and a psychologist management may decrease postoperative complications, increase postoperative nutritional status and so, would allow for more patients to receive their full cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, the effect of prehabilitation compared to conventional care, the percentage of patients reaching the complete oncological treatment decided in a multidisciplinary tumour board.
This is a clinical Study to evaluate the effect, survival benefit and safety of intraperitoneal docetaxel combined with oral S-1 for advanced gastric cancer with malignant ascites.
There has been no report on whether the patients with gastric cancer who are also inactive Hepatitis B carriers should receive prophylactic use or preemptive Use of an Anti-viral Drug Entecavir. This open, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the impact of the prophylactic use or preemptive use of an anti-viral drug Entecavir on the outcomes of patients with gastric cancer who are also inactive hepatitis B carriers during chemotherapy and the subsequent follow-ups.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Apatinib can improve the disease free survival (DFS) of gastric cancer patients in stage IIIB/IIIc, who had completed postoprative adjuvant chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the investigators also will evaluate whether the Apatinib can improve the overall survival (OS), estimate the quality of life of patients have taken the Apatinib and monitor the security of Apatinib.
Background. Gastric cancer surgery is associated with high risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality. Anastomotic leak (AL) is one of the worst complications associated with relevant short and long-term sequelae. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker used to monitor bacterial infections and guide antibiotic therapy and has been shown to have better predictive value of AL after colorectal surgery than C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC). Purpose. Investigators designed a monocentric pilot study to test if PCT might be a sensitive and reliable marker of AL after gastric surgery
The overall purpose is to develop and maintain a multi-institutional database comprising of information regarding surgical, clinical and oncological features of patients that will be treated for gastric cancer with robotic, laparoscopic or open approaches and subsequent follow-up. The main objective is to compare the three surgical arms on surgical and clinical outcomes, as well as on the oncological follow-up.
