Predicting Peripheral Neuropathy of Paclitaxel for Gastric Cancer
Although advances in chemotherapy have improved the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, many patients still suffer from adverse events. Therefore, it is necessary to establish personalized treatment by identifying patients at high risk for side effects. Although paclitaxel-based therapy is the standard second-line treatment, peripheral neuropathy is a troublesome adverse …
How Epigenetic Changes in hMLH1 Connect Lab Research With Diagnosis in Gastric Cancer
DNA methylation is one of the key mechanisms that are thought to underlie the association between aging and cancer. Several methylation-based measures of biological aging have been developed and have demonstrated an association with mortality and, in some cases, with cancer incidence. Accordingly, CpG promoter hypermethylation is a well-known mechanism …
MRE for Diagnosis of Pancreatic Masses
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for 85-95% of pancreatic cancer and is one of the deadliest tumors in the world, with a survival rate of less than 8%, and identifying key prognostic or predictive factors facilitates risk stratification and prospective assessment in clinical trials. The extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding PDAC …
Improving Access to Lung Cancer Clinical Trials
There are ~85,000 lung cancer patients (LCPs) in the UK; yet only around 8% were recruited into clinical trials in 2021/22. LCPs need opportunities to take part in clinical trials to access new treatments, increasing their quality of life, treatment choices and life expectancy. Discussions with nurses can help patients …
Multiomic Approach to Radioresistance of Ependymomas in Children and Adolescents
Treatment of childhood ependymoma, the second most frequent pediatric brain tumor, is based on surgery and radiation therapy. However, 50% relapse, mainly locally. Progress in imaging, molecular biology and radiotherapy ballistics has led us to propose the EPENDYMOMICS project, a multi-omics approach using artificial intelligence to detect the predictive characteristics …
Exploring the Mechanism of Primary Resistance to Third-generation EGFR-TKIs as First-line Treatment in EGFR-positive Advanced NSCLC (PRECISE Study)
Lung cancer is currently the world's largest malignant tumor for cancer-related deaths with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 80%-85%. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), especially the 3rd-generation EGFR-TKIs have demonstrated strong antitumor effects in EGFR-positive patients. However, approximately 20% of EGFR-positive were primarily resistant to …
Development of Liquid Biopsy Technologies for Noninvasive Cancer Diagnostics in Patients With Suspicious Thyroid Nodules or Thyroid Cancer
This study is being done to help researchers learn more about and successfully diagnose cancer using blood samples and tissue samples from surgeries in patients with suspicious thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer. Diagnosing cancer in this way, as opposed to biopsies, may be less invasive to the patient. Analyzing blood …
Role of Endocrine Disruptors in Thyroid Cancer
the relationship between human exposure to EDCS and TC is poorly investigated and still unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible role of old and new generation endocrine disruptors in thyroid cancer. The primary aim is to evaluate the difference in the average levels of the …
Paclitaxel Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Cancer Patients
The goals of this prospective, observational cohort study are to determine the feasibility of implementing paclitaxel therapeutic drug monitoring for cancer patients and explore the relationship between paclitaxel drug exposure and the development of neuropathic symptoms. This trial studies if paclitaxel can be consistently measured in the blood of patients …
Lung Ultrasound Score After ENT Cancer Surgery
After ENT cancer surgery, postoperative respiratory complications are common, especially after tracheostomy. The objective of this study is to characterize the pulmonary status of patients after ENT cancer surgery. We wish to collect and analyze the pulmonary abnormalities revealed by the ultrasound scans performed in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), …
