Pharmacokinetic Study of Skeletal Muscle Area-based Paclitaxel Infusion in Patients With Cancer
The primary objective of this pharmacokinetics study is to compare the maximum concentration level of paclitaxel in patients with low/sarcopenic skeletal muscle area (SMA), at the end of a 2-3 hour paclitaxel infusion, to the maximum level in patients with normal SMA at the end of a standard 1-hour infusion …
Prophylactic Endoscopic Variceal Ligation in Patients With High-risk Esophageal Varices Receiving Atezo/Bev for HCC
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether prophylactic endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) can prevent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Atezo/Bev) therapy. The study will also assess the safety of prophylactic EVL in this population. The main question it aims to …
The Effect of Chronic Stress on Efficacy of ICIs in Esophageal Cancer Patients (STRESS-ESCA Study)
Chronic stress refers to a special emotional state caused by unexpected stress for a long time, with an increasing incidence in the population. It can cause the body to release hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Tumor patients often experience changes such as psychological and emotional abnormalities, decreased quality of …
Effectivity of TongueFit, A Novel Orofacial Manometer, as Tongue Strength and Endurance Therapy in Children With Dysphagia
The tongue plays a crucial role in the swallowing process, and weakness in its muscles can lead to difficulties in bolus control, mastication, bolus transport, and oral residue. Reduced tongue strength is closely associated with dysphagia, a swallowing disorder that impairs the movement of food or liquids from the mouth, …
Masseter and Rectus Femoris Ultrasound for Dysphagia and Sarcopenia in Critically Ill Patients
Dysphagia and sarcopenia are common complications in critically ill patients and are associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, nutritional complications, and poorer clinical outcomes. Muscle ultrasound is a non-invasive bedside technique that may provide objective information on muscle mass and help identify patients at increased risk of these conditions. This …
The Thoracic Peri-Operative Integrative Surgical Care Evaluation Trial - Stage III
Despite enormous advances in thoracic surgery and oncology, two critical issues concern patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for lung, gastric and esophageal cancer: first, a majority (\~60%) of patients experience minor and major adverse events occurring during and in the days following surgery; second, patients worry about the significant risk of …
A Study of 2141-V11 in People With Esophageal, Gastric, or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
The purpose of this study is to find out whether adding the drug 2141-V11 to standard treatment (anti-PD-1 immunotherapy with or without 5-FU) is a safe treatment approach for participants with advanced esophageal, gastric, or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma
Comparative Study Between (FC-SEMS) and (PC-SEMS) in the Palliation of Dysphagia Due to Malignant Neoplasm of Esophagus.
Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer in the world, with an estimated global incidence of 604,100 new cases per year. The main symptom of esophageal cancer is dysphagia, associated or not with weight loss. Unfortunately, due to asymptomatic presentation in the early stages, more than half …
Effects of Bright-light Exposure Combined With Specific Exercise Training (BEST) Program in Patients With Cancer
This study plans to investigate the effectiveness of six-week light exposure combined with an exercise training program on improving sleep-wake rhythm, physical and mental symptoms, quality of life, one-year recurrence rate, and one-year survival rate of patients with lung and esophageal cancer.
Novel Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation Knife in Esophageal Lesions
Both Baylor St Luke's Medical Center and Mayo Scottsdale are considered endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) centers of excellence. The investigators at Baylor College of Medicine have previously reported our Esophageal ESD experience using the monopolar current knife. Moreover, the research team have previously reported on the clinical efficacy of the …
