Synopsis Rationale Patients with T1 urinary bladder cancer (UBC) are at high risk for recurrence and progression. However, the prognosis is dependent on several concomitant factors. First and foremost, an accurate diagnosis is imperative for an appropriate disease management. Due to conventional transurethral resection technique, resulting in fragmentation and cauterization …
People with incurable cancer often have complex individual needs, however there are several common themes encountered when considering this group. As cancer progresses there are series of interactions between the tumour and the patient, producing both local and systemic effects. This altered state of illness can have multiple ill effects …
Residual tumor at the proximal or distal margin after esophagectomy is a known prognostic factor for poor survival outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer; however, the significance of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) remains controversial. In this study, the investigators sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of the CRM in …
This is a sample study that will collect biological samples (blood, tumor tissue, ascites, and/or other fluids) from gynecological cancer patients for biomarker research. In addition, the results of the testing done on the samples will be given to the participant's treating physician who may use the information to guide …
Metastases represent the most threatening challenge in cancer. One of the management strategies for patients with Oligometastatic Cancer (OC) is Stereotactic ABlative Radiotherapy (SABR). However, there are few studies, and there is no defined clinical standard, nor are the radiobiological mechanisms that contribute to treatment response well understood. The focus …
Background A prospective cohort of Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome (IBMFS) will provide new information regarding cancer rates and types in these disorders. Pathogenic variant(s) in IBMFS genes are relevant to carcinogenesis in sporadic cancers. Patients with IBMFS who develop cancer differ in their genetic and/or environmental features from patients …
Definitive chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care in unresectable esophageal or esophagogastric cancer. A multidisciplinary approach, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is important for these patients. Morerover, molecular targeting agents does not show clear efficacy in EC up to now. Nowadays, the pace of development of cancer immunotherapies is accelerating. Clinical …
Background -Patients who are being evaluated and/or treated at the NIH Clinical Center and adult patients at participating sites will be entered onto this tissue procurement protocol for collection of tissue specimens. Objectives To obtain samples from adult and pediatric patients for research purposes from tests and procedures that are …
Through a better understanding of the biology of significant (lethal) prostate cancer, we hope to develop new markers/targets from urine metabolomics for more effective screening and prevention of significant prostate cancer. In the meantime, with these new markers we may substantially reduce overtreatment of insignificant PC.
Background \- Lab studies help researchers better understand cancer biology. This information may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating cancer. To develop these studies, researchers want to collect samples from people with cancer or precancer conditions of the lymph system. These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of …
