Functional Imaging to Identify Radiosensitive Esophageal Cancer - a Biomarker Validation Study
This trial on biomarker validation investigates the use of innovative re-staging FDG-PET parameters to detect highly chemoradiation (CRT) sensitive squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus (SCEC) at the end of preoperative or definitive CRT.
Multicenter Cohort Study of ESD and Chemo-radiotherapy for High-risk Early-stage Esophageal Cancer
This multicenter, prospective observational cohort study has the potential to optimize individualized chemoradiotherapy regimen for early-stage esophageal cancer patients who have received endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Understanding the Variation of Modern Endoscopic Ultrasound Use in Patients With Oesophageal Cancer (VALUE)
This is an observational trial that will look at patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with oesophageal cancer and to determine the proportion of cases in which EUS changes disease management in these patients.
Clinical & Pathological Studies of Upper Gastrointestinal Carcinoma
Our research of the biology of upper gastrointestinal cancers involves the study of tissue samples and cells from biopsies of persons with gastric or esophageal cancer or blood samples from upper gastrointestinal cancer patients and persons at high inherited risk for these cancers. We hope to learn the role genes …
Imaging and Blood-Based Biomarkers for the Evaluation of Early Signs of Myocardial Injury After Thoracic Radiation Therapy
This study assesses for early signs of damage to the heart following chest radiation therapy using both imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac positron emission tomography) and changes in blood biomarkers. This study determines if any changes in the heart muscle can be detected either during the course of …
Impact of CES1 Genotype on Capecitabine Exposure in Cancer Patients
In this study, the drug capecitabine is investigated. Capecitabine is commonly used to treat breast, colon, and stomach cancers. Capecitabine is taken in tablet form. In the body, capecitabine is converted into the active molecule that has anti-cancer effects. This molecule is called 5-FU. The transformation of capecitabine to 5-FU …
Cardiopulmonary Toxicity of Thoracic Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy improves locoregional control and survival of thoracic tumour patients. However, the associated exposure of normal tissues, often leads to side effects and possibly even reduces survival. Indeed, there is growing evidence that overall survival after radiotherapy for lung and oesophageal cancer is related to the radiation dose to heart …
Anorexia iN Cancer Patients: ANCHOR
The rationale for this study is to prospectively investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing standard dietetic interventions alongside treatment for their advanced gastrointestinal cancers, and to further characterise the relationship with body composition. A number of patients will be enrolled in a sub-study investigating the neuronal-enteroendocrine-hypothalamic axis. Gut hormone study. …
Pre- and Post-operative TEG Indices in Patients With or Without Adenocarcinoma Undergoing Surgical Resection
The investigators hypothesize that abnormalities in thromboelastography (TEG) parameters in patients with liver, pancreas, biliary, esophageal, colorectal, and lung adenocarcinoma can serve as biomarkers for oncologic disease burden, cancer recurrence and overall survival as well as thrombotic and hemorrhagic post-operative complications. The investigators further hypothesize that there is histologic pathology …
a Single-arm, Single-center, Open Clinical Study
This trial plans to enroll many patients with advanced solid tumors to complete GK01 cell transfusion, including but not limited to advanced gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. For patients with advanced solid tumors eligible for inclusion, autologous tumor-reactive T cells (experimental …
