The study also has a single arm pre-post test 12-week chair-based exercise arm for those who have received the geriatric assessment in the older adults with cancer clinic (geriatric oncology clinic). Study Duration 2.5 years Study Agent/ Intervention/ Procedure Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Management (GAM) combined with online chair-based exercise (CBE) and health education for 12 weeks.
To determine the dose, safety, radiation dosimetry and efficacy of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 in participants with PSMA-expressing metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to assess clinical and quality of life measures as well as to define the severity of adverse effects for the use of the RefleXion system to deliver intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), in standard of care (SOC) use in the treatment of local,loco-regionally advanced, and oligometastatic malignancies. In addition, patient costs and charges will be analyzed to quantify the health economic impact of this modality. Workflow and quality of radiotherapy planning including a collection of dosimetric data will also be analyzed.
After the treatment of urogenital cancer, a person may develop lymphoedema of the leg(s) and/ or midline region. Clinical symptoms include abnormal tissue swelling, sensation of limb heaviness, erythema, pain, and impaired limb function. Lymphoedema can have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL) and the impact of lymphoedema on the cancer treatment decision making process is underestimated. A limited number of studies have evaluated the incidence rate of midline and leg lymphoedema after surgery for urogenital cancers and have investigated the prognostic variables. In addition, to the researchers knowledge, no evidence exists regarding which (combination of) clinical measuring methods are most sensitive to detect early lymphoedema at the lower limbs after the treatment of urogenital cancer. Therefore, in this prospective observational study, the epidemiology (i.e. incidence/ prevalence rate and prognostic variables) and the detection methods of lower limb lymphoedema after pelvic lymph node dissection for urogenital cancer will be investigated. Additionally, the epidemiology of nocturia and nocturnal polyuria will be studied (since this information is also missing in literature).
After the treatment of urogenital cancer, a person may develop lymphoedema of the leg(s) and/ or midline region. Lymphoedema is the result of a dysfunction in the lymphatic system and is characterized by excessive retention of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial compartment, adipose deposition and chronic tissue inflammation resulting in fibrosis. Clinical symptoms include abnormal tissue swelling, sensation of limb heaviness, erythema, pain, and impaired limb function. The added value of manual lymph drainage, applied in patients with mild (early) lower limb lymphoedema and in addition to skin care, exercises and a compression stocking, has never been investigated. Therefore, the objective of this randomised controlled pilot trial is to investigate the feasibility of a trial about the added value of manual lymph drainage (to skin care, exercises and wearing compression stocking) in patients with mild (early) lower limb lymphoedema. In fact, the investigators want to determine the sample size for a trial investigating the effectiveness of MLD and want to investigate the feasibility of the study design.
Background: Tumors in the genitourinary tracts can occur in the kidney, bladder, prostate, and testicles and can have common and rare histologies. Some cancers that occur along the genitourinary (GU) tract are rare. Some GU tumors are so rare that they are not included in treatment studies or tissue banks. This makes it hard for researchers to determine standards of care. Researchers want to learn more about common and rare GU tumors. Objective: To learn more about urinary tract cancers. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with urinary tract or GU cancer such as bladder, kidney, testicular, prostate, penis, or neuroendocrine cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with questions about their medical history. Their medical records will be reviewed. Participants will have a physical exam. They will give blood and urine samples. They will complete a survey about their family cancer history. Clinical photographs will be taken to document skin lesions. Participants may have imaging scans of their chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have a contrast agent injected into their arm. Participants will get recommendations about how to best manage and treat their cancer. They can ask as many questions as they would like. Participants will provide existing tumor samples if available. They may have optional tumor biopsies up to twice a year. For needle biopsies, the biopsy area will be numbed and they will get a sedative. A needle will be inserted through their skin to collect a tumor sample. For skin biopsies, their skin will be numbed. A small circle of skin will be removed. Some blood and tumor samples may be used for genetic tests. Participants will have frequent follow-up visits. If they cannot visit NIH, their home doctor will be contacted. They will be followed on this study for life....
This study is a single-arm, open-label, single-center study to assess the safety of tislelizumab with BCG, and to obtain the preliminary efficacy results in subjects who have been diagnosed with high-risk NMIBC without prior BCG treatment.
Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is usually performed in a piecemeal technique. Tumor fragmentation and cell spilling could be responsible for high recurrence rates. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been shown to be a prognostic predictor in disease progression in transitional cell carcinoma. In the current study the investigators aim to quantify CTCs in purging fluid and blood for recurrent intermediate risk bladder cancer during surgery for two different methods: TURBT and Plasma-kinetic vaporization of bladder tumor (PKVBT). Also correlations for recurrence will be investigated for the two different surgical methods.
The purpose of this research study is to identify patients with GU disease with active or past COVID-19 infection. Participants will be asked to: - Complete an Online COVID-19 Questionnaire. - Disclose if the patient has or had Genitourinary cancer or benign urologic condition - Provide urine specimen for research - Provide 4 tablespoons of blood for testing blood for research. - Provide permission to access medical records, such as patient lab results, medical history, imaging reports, etc.
The purpose of the open-label INDIGO-study is to examine whether a first line individualized treatment strategy based on DNA and RNA analyses from the patient's tumor is feasible. Moreover, to involve the patient further in their treatment via patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measurements in a value-based healthcare setup with simultaneous analyses of the financial costs of this strategy. The patients are assigned into 4 treatment arms according to the results of their DNA and RNA analyses. All patients receive electronic questionnaires regarding symptoms and side effects weekly and questionnaires regarding quality of life monthly. Based on each patient's answers of the questionnaires the patient receives advices in the app to reduce the symptoms and side effects or the patient is instructed to contact the hospital. The hypothesis: Basing the choice of first-line treatment for DNA mutations and RNA profiles in a heterogeneous patient population increases the overall response rate for the total population to 30% compared to 10% for historical cohorts.
