Comparative Study Between (FC-SEMS) and (PC-SEMS) in the Palliation of Dysphagia Due to Malignant Neoplasm of Esophagus.
Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer in the world, with an estimated global incidence of 604,100 new cases per year. The main symptom of esophageal cancer is dysphagia, associated or not with weight loss. Unfortunately, due to asymptomatic presentation in the early stages, more than half …
Effects of Bright-light Exposure Combined With Specific Exercise Training (BEST) Program in Patients With Cancer
This study plans to investigate the effectiveness of six-week light exposure combined with an exercise training program on improving sleep-wake rhythm, physical and mental symptoms, quality of life, one-year recurrence rate, and one-year survival rate of patients with lung and esophageal cancer.
Feasibility of Online MR-guided Radiotherapy on a 1.5T MR-Linac
This study investigates the feasibility of imaging and treatment on a novel 1.5 T MR-Linac radiotherapy hybrid device.
Sacituzumab Govitecan in Metastatic Salivary Gland and Thyroid Cancers (SG-SGTC)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug, sacituzumab govitecan, works to treat: Salivary gland cancers that have spread to other parts of the body or come back after previous treatment, and cannot be removed by surgery A type of thyroid cancer (specifically, differentiated thyroid carcinoma) …
Prosthesis Guided Speech Rehabilitation of T1/T2 Cancers of the Tongue
This study will fill a scientific gap in the current knowledge providing data for evaluation of the palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) as a therapeutic modality post-surgery. This is a robust scientific randomized prospective clinical trial. Positive outcomes from this study have the potential to dramatically alter the most common issues …
Patient-centered Dosage of Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine is the most used thyroid hormone replacement when the thyroid gland is failing. Because dosage adjustment normally takes several months, the investigators have developed a decision support tool (DST) that predicts optimal dosage based on repeated blood samples the first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. In this randomized …
The Safety and Feasibility of Radiofrequency Ablation to Treat Low-risk Thyroid Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in thyroid cancers ≤2 cm in diameter. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the feasibility of RFA use for low-risk thyroid cancers (≤2 cm)? Participants will undergo a set of pre-procedural scans of …
TRAIL Study: Feasibility and Pilot
This is a pilot study to compare two ways of managing newly identified thyroid nodules that are likely to be cancerous based on ultrasound result and which under usual care would undergo immediate biopsy. The main goals of this pilot study are 1) compare anxiety at 6 months in each …
Zanzalintinib for the Treatment of Advanced Thyroid Cancer Before Surgery
To look at the effectiveness of zanzalintinib, followed by surgery, in treating advanced thyroid cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Surgeon-performed Ultrasound for Real-time Guidance In Oral Cancer Surgeries - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the surgical treatment of patients with oral cancer. We will explore whether the use of surgeon performed ultrasound during these surgeries result in better tumor removal. We hypothesize that using intraoperative ultrasound to assist the resection results in more frequent clear …
