This research study is a pilot clinical trial, which hypothesizes that the combination of electromagnetic tracking in conjunction with laparoscope imaging and ultrasound probe imaging will aid in reducing the complexity of both laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and/or organ removal in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer in urologic regions of interest (Bladder, Prostate, Testicular, Kidney, Urethral, and Penis), by resulting in better visualization and more accurate localization of certain areas in the diseased organ or the diseased lymph node, and allowing for improved surgical and patient outcomes, fewer complications and better clinician performance.
The MyBrain study investigates the brain function of children, adolescents and young adults during and after chemo treatment for cancer. The tests include 1) cognitive skills such as memory and attention; 2) the brain's electrical activity; 3) and biological markers related to brain function. The aim of the study is to better understand the trajectories of cognitive functioning and measures that have been associated with cognitive impairment in patients treated with chemotherapy.
This study is a randomized controlled biobehavioral efficacy trial designed to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a novel intervention, Goal-focused Emotion-Regulation Therapy (GET) aimed at improving distress symptoms, emotion regulation, goal navigation skills, and stress-sensitive biomarkers in young adult testicular cancer patients. Participants will be randomized to receive six sessions of GET or Individual Supportive Listening (ISL) delivered over eight weeks. In addition to indicators of intervention feasibility, the investigators will measure primary (depressive and anxiety symptoms) and secondary (emotion regulation and goal navigation skills, career confusion) psychological outcomes prior to (T0), immediately after (T1), twelve weeks after intervention (T2) and 24 weeks after the intervention (T3). Additionally, identified biomarkers will be measured at baseline and at T1, T2, and T3.
The objective of this pilot cohort study is to investigate associations between CIN and changes in gut microbiome composition profiles.
The currently developed implementation study aims to evaluate if a patient-led home-based follow-up approach is successful, improves quality of life, reduces anxiety and lessens fear of cancer recurrence during the years after treatment of certain types of testicular cancer.
Late subclinical cardiovascular disease in testicular cancer survivors exposed to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant
To analyze the short and long term postoperative clinical outcome and patient satisfaction of silicone gel-filled testicular implants.
Longitudinal cohort study; measurements before start of systemic therapy and one year later.
Cisplatin-combination chemotherapy causes inevitably DNA damage by platinum-DNA adduct formation of both tumor cells but also healthy cells. It therefore stands to reason that testicular cancer treatment causes an increased burden of senescent cells, which causes upregulation of the SASP resulting in a pro-inflammatory phenotype. The investigators hypothesize that this may be an important mechanism behind development of late effects and an early ageing phenotype after treatment for testicular cancer.
