Mayo Clinic Upper Digestive Disease Survey
The Mayo Clinic Conduit Report Card Questionnaires have been created in order to have a consistent evaluation tools for patients undergoing esophageal reconstruction or treatment or patients that are experiencing an upper digestive disease in order to standardize and validate outcome measures. Data will be used to establish the validation …
Prospective Comprehensive Molecular Analysis of Endocrine Neoplasms
Background Endocrine neoplasms (tumors) are among the fastest growing tumors in incidence in the United States. Furthermore, it is often difficult to distinguish between benign or malignant tumors in cancers of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, and pancreas. More research is needed to improve detection and treatment options for patients …
Online Adaptive Radiotherapy Using a Novel Linear Accelerator (ETHOS)
The study focuses on the scientific and clinical evaluation of online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) using the Varian/SHS ETHOS treatment system. In this study, radiation treatment plans are dynamically adjusted on a daily basis over several weeks of therapy to account for anatomical shifts in either the tumour or adjacent normal …
Endoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Neoplasms
The study aims to retrospectively investigate the endoscopic resection procedures of cancerous and precancerous lesions of the upper and lower digestive tract in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes and to compare different resection techniques. In particular, the resection techniques investigated will be mucosectomy, en bloc and piecemeal, …
Liquid Biopsy Evaluation and Repository Development at Princess Margaret
The objective of this protocol is to develop an institution-wide liquid biopsy protocol that will establish a common process for collecting blood and corresponding archived tumor specimens for future research studies at the University Health Network's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Circulating cell-free nucleic acids (cfNA), including cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and …
Studies on Tumors of the Thyroid
Participants in this study will be patients diagnosed with or suspected to have a thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer. The main purpose of this study is to further understand the methods for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Many of the test performed are in the …
A Multicenter Cancer Biospecimen Collection Study
This study will collect de-identified tumor samples, with correlated clinical/demographic data and tissue histology, from patients selected or scheduled for pre-treatment tumor biopsy or who have had a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy. These specimens and clinical data may be used in subsequent studies for the development and validation of a …
Esophageal Cancer Risk Registry
The purpose of this study is to identify markers in the blood and tissue that could indicate risk factors for the development and progression of esophagus cancer. This research aims to collect medical history, blood, and tissue samples from patients who present with an esophageal disorder. Identifying genetic and behavioral …
An International Study on Pediatric Patients With Rare Tumors.
The PARTNER study is an international, prospective, observational study of paediatric patients with very rare tumours.
Diagnosis of Multiple Cancer and Monitoring of Minimal Residual Tumors After Treatment Using Blood and High-Sensitivity Genetic Analysis Techniques
This is a combined prospective and retrospective observational study aiming to validate a highly sensitive and specific blood-based method for the early diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of multiple cancers. The study leverages a newly developed sequencing method to improve the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, focusing on …
