Radiation is a standard treatment option for patients with liver cancer. Unfortunately, the tumour grows after radiation in many patients and radiation can harm normal tissues. A new treatment using a specialized radiation procedure called Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may increase the chance to control liver cancer and reduce the …
The management of liver metastases in neuroendocrine neoplasms is challenging. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) is one of the most promising therapeutic options. As liver is the most frequent site of metastatic disease, our project proposes to compare administration of radiolabeled SSA by arterial intrahepatic infusion …
Liver resection is the only curative treatment for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Most patients undergo chemotherapy (CT) before liver surgery. CT objectively decreases patient functional capacity. It has already been demonstrated that a structured training program carried out during the 4 weeks following CT, while the patient is …
TARE uses radioactive microspheres (20-60 μm), which are trapped in tumors due to abnormal vasculature, while normal liver sinusoids (≤15 μm) prevent their passage. However, some microspheres may drain into hepatic veins and reach the lungs, risking radiation pneumonitis. Pre-procedural evaluation with angiography and nuclear imaging (MAA scan with SPECT/CT) …
This study is based on the finding that tumor cells that are grown in the laboratory can be modified in such a way that, when injected to the patient, they will stimulate his/her immune response. This approach will be evaluated in patients with melanoma and colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, lung …
The goal of this clinical trial is to characterize the biomolecular profile of bone metastases to define the predisposing profiles of bone metastasis, in patients with breast or lung or renal carcinomas or of the gastroenteric or prostate tract with bone metastasis. The main question it aims to answer is: …
The goal of this observational study is to learn how tumor tissue and blood samples from patients with sarcomas or metastases can be used to create laboratory models that help researchers study cancer behavior and test new treatments. Participants diagnosed with sarcoma or with bone or lung metastases from solid …
To date, arterial embolization constitutes one of the most popular methods in minimally invasive treatment of bone metastases, allowing good results in terms of pain reduction, local control of disease and reduction of peri-operative bleeding, with low invasiveness.
To compare increasing doses and different treatment schedules of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) against standard treatment scheduling.
Background: Spinal metastatic disease constitute a serious clinical problem in oncology. Bones are the third most common organ where metastases are located, and the spine is the place where they are most often located. Due to the complexity of the clinical problem, metastatic spine disease remains of interest to many …
