Brain metastasis is the most challenging disease in the field of tumor treatment, with a median overall survival of only 1-2 months for untreated patients. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has the advantages of precise positioning, relatively concentrated dosage, shorter course, and lower toxicity. Several studies could effectively protect cognitive function and achieve better tumor control rate. Currently, it has gradually replaced WBRT as standard local treatment choice for brain metastases. SRT includes Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Fractional Stereotactic Radiotherapy (fSRT). With the continuous updating of domestic radiation therapy equipment, the use of...
The FRONTIER Study is a prospective, interventional, single-arm, multi-center, study to assess the safety and technical feasibility of TheraSphere GBM in patients with recurrent GBM.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of administering the Tetanus Diptheria Vaccine (Td) or Polio Boost Immunization (IPOL) to patients with metastatic melanoma who are receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO) therapy per standard of care. Subjects will have the vaccine at cycle 4 of IO therapy and will have research blood and tissue samples collected prior to starting IO therapy, at cycle 4 prior to vaccine administration, and at 12-17 days post vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of the study treatment, Dendritic Cell Vaccine (DCV), to find the highest dose of the study treatment that can be given safely to Breast Cancer patients with Leptomeningeal Disease
The aim of this French multicenter retrospective study is to describ rare primary hepatic cancers clinical, histological and radiological features, to obtain a biological tumor and blood collection, and to evaluate the efficacy of treatments received in clinical practice in order to determine optimal therapeutic sequences. This retrospective cohort will be the backbone of future translational studies aimed at identifying new molecular, histological, circulating and radiological tumor biomarkers, potentially useful at every stage of diagnosis and prognostic or theranostic evaluation.
The goal of this observational study is to extract the imaging features of brain lesions and primary lung lesions in NSCLC patients with brain metastases by deep learning, as well as common clinicopathological parameters, which are used to construct a multimode model that can accurately predict the treatment efficacy and survival of the third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment, and to use the model to assist in screening high-risk populations suitable for upfront cranial radiotherapy. Participants receiving third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment will be enrolled in our study and we will collect their regular contrast-enhanced chest CT and contrast-enhanced brain MRI for model construction.
The UAB Institute for Arts In Medicine (AIM) is currently implementing an expressive emotional writing pilot project for adults with paralysis caused by neurological conditions such as traumatic head or spinal cord injury.
The survival interval of patients with gliomas ranges between 12 to 15 months. Recent findings revealed that dietary interventions to reduce glucose and glycolytic pathways could have a therapeutic effect. Ketosis can be an effective therapy to extend the survival of patients with gliomas.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a immunophenotype-adapted approach using CAR T-cells in patients with high-risk, refractory or relapsed B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
There is a high medical need to improve treatment outcome for high-grade and low-grade glioma since no curative treatment is available. To achieve this goal, a broader understanding is needed of the causes of inter-and intratumoral heterogeneity; glioma dedifferentiation and invasion; the major determinants of malignancy and treatment failure in glioma patients. Patient-derived organoid (PDOs) of high-grade gliomas and low-grade gliomas will be used to identify the mechanisms that underlie this malignant behaviour and treatment resistance. This insight may be used to develop patient avatars to simultaneously test multiple new treatment modalities that are predictive for...
