The PIPAC-OPC7 Study: The Use of PET/CT Scans as a Method of Evaluation in Patients Treated With PIPAC, a Pilot Study.
The pilot study will investigate the use of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans in 16 patients with peritoneal metastasis originating from abdominal cancers treated with Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy. The study will focus on the potential of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans to evaluate the treatment as well as the feasibility in the patient …
Targeted Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Therapy
The goal of this study is to perform genetic sequencing on brain tumors from children, adolescents, and young adult patients who have been newly diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. This molecular profiling will decide if patients are eligible to participate in a subsequent treatment-based clinical trial based on the genetic …
Prospective Study for the Prognostic and Predictive Role of Circulating Tumor Cells in Patients With Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: CTCO (Circulating Tumor Cells in the Oropharynx)
Head and neck cancers (HNSCC) are primarily squamous cell cancers represented by tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract. Locally advanced stages (stages III and IV) account for 50 to 70% of all presentations. The three main risk factors are smoking, alcohol and oropharyngeal infection with human papilloma virus (HPV). Apart …
Patient and Caregiver Priorities in Neuro-oncology Care
This study is being done to identify patient and caregiver burdens regarding their experience with diagnosis and treatment of CNS tumors. These results will help doctors find areas where patients and caregivers may need more support.
The Role Of Circulating Tumor Cells As Markers Of Advanced Disease And Prognosis In HCC
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurs in up to 60% of patients who undergo resection. Circulating tumor cells (CTC) have been advocated as promotors of the recurrence. However, their role as prognostic markers in the surgical setting is unclear. The aim of the present study has been to assess the association between …
Imaging the Interplay Between Axonal Damage and Repair in Multiple Sclerosis
This project is to: Quantify differences in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients. Quantify changes in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients over a two-year period. Validate the combination of imaging parameters that best differentiate aMS versus naPMS patients using histopathology.
Using a 3D Culture Model for Circulating Tumor Cells Combined With Molecular Bioassays in Patients With HNSCC Cancer
Cancer has been a significant cause of human death in the recent two decades, although detection, diagnosis, and cancer treatments improved and evolved rapidly. Till now, the reasons why some cancer recurs and others do not remain unclear. Since 2004, circulating tumor cell (CTC) has been well-recognized that CTCs in …
Drug Sensitivity of Hydrothorax and Ascite Organoids from Breast Cancer
Malignant hydrothorax and ascitic fluid in advanced breast cancer often arise from metastasis to the lungs, pleura, or liver. Patients with this condition experience rapid disease progression and multidrug resistance, facing limited treatment options. Clinical guidelines offer various therapies based on molecular subtypes; however, their effectiveness can be hindered by …
Extending Prostate Genetic Awareness, Navigation, and Delivery: The EXPAND Network
This trial evaluates whether a network of peer genetic coaches is useful for addressing disparities in genetic testing and screening among African American men with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). While genetic testing has become central …
Biopsy After Radioembolization to Identify Changes in Tumor Cells From the Radiation
The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about …
