Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of telerehabilitation-based aerobic exercises on upper extremity functionality, cognitive status and quality of life in patients with survival breast cancer.
The overarching aim of this nationwide Swedish cohort study is to reduce death and suffering from oesophageal and gastric tumours. This aim can be accomplished by a broad research approach that aims to identify: 1. Risk factors and preventive actions 2. Early detection 3. Improved treatment
Real-world studies on long-term prognosis in patients who underwent anti-tumor treatments during hospitalization from a hospital-based cancer registry in china.
This study assessed whether transanal TME in patients with rectal cancer is superior to open, laparoscopic, and robotic TME (abdominal TME (abTME)) regarding oncological outcome, postoperative morbidity and 90-day mortality.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 55,000 Canadians are surviving with brain tumors. It is projected that around 3000 persons will be diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumors, and approximately 75 percent patients will not survive. Out of all brain cancers, high-grade gliomas [Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)] impose highest morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is important to explore ways in which Investigators can improve and prolong the lives of patients suffering from brain cancers, particularly high-grade glioma, which is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. So far the Investigators know that the surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the three corner stones management options for these patients, and majority of the research have been conducted on these three major domains. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the other variables those may impact survival characteristics. One of the integral variables of the brain cancer surgery is anesthesia. Interestingly, the role of anesthetics was explored in some other non-brain solid organ tumor surgeries. It is observed that out of the two main types of anesthesia [one is through intravenous (propofol) and other one is gaseous (sevoflurane)], intravenous based anesthesia maintenance regime may delay the cancer progression and prolong the recurrence free period. In addition, two very large retrospective studies with approximately 11,000 and 18,000 patients respectively, showed that as compared to gaseous (volatile anesthetics) based, intravenous (propofol) based anesthesia conferred some protection against cancer progression and was also associated with lesser overall mortality. The exact nature of these protective mechanisms is not known but in animal and other laboratory-based experiments, propofol seems to inhibit cancer formation steps, delays inflammation and provide protection from cancer cell growth. This is a feasibility study for knowing various aspects of workflow; recruitment characteristics of participants and various obstacles in implying anesthesia based protocols so that the Investigators can conduct a well-designed multicenter international randomized study.
This study is a prospective, randomized, comparative clinical trial conducted by Wuhan Union Hospital and aim to compare the therapeutic effects of Lobaplatin and Paclitaxel in advanced gastric cancer patients with D2 surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
So far, there is no specific clinical guideline for elderly patients (>75 yr) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patients with locally advanced ESCC were enrolled and randomly assigned to either definitive radiotherapy group (61.2Gy/34Fx） or the chemoradiotherapy group (50.4Gy/28Fx；Paclitaxel plus carboplatin). The primary end point was 3-year overall survival (OS). The second end points included life quality, radiation side effects and 3-yr cancer specific survival.
The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Thus, we sought to find an efficient chemotherapy regimen with high tolerance according to the characteristics of chemotherapy drugs, that is, to explore the efficacy and safety of platinum plus 5-fluorouracil with continuous intravenous infusion at a low dose for a long term.
Hip fracture is one of the most frequently occurred injury in the elderly and usually requires surgical treatment. Malnutrition is common in elderly patients with hip fracture and is associated with worse outcomes. This study is designed to test the hypothesize that, in elderly patients with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition and scheduled for hip-fracture surgery, perioperative nutritional intervention may reduce early complications and improve long-term survival.
Since the outbreak of a syndrome of acute respiratory distress associated to a novel coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) that began in China, Europe and France have to face a sanitary emergency with critically care support when the patient evolves to an acute respiratory distress (ARDS). In the context of supply shortages (ventilators, bed capacities) that countries have to deal with, data were lacking of characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). the purpose of this project is to report the epidemiology and the outcomes of a French cohort of critically ill patients with SARS-Cov2
