In research on melanoma, translational research is the essential link between basic research and clinical research by facilitating the passage between discovery and improvement in the quality of patients care.That is the reason why it is very important to collect, and centralize clinical and biological data of patients with melanoma. The aim of the project is to provide to scientific community a structured, mixed clinical and biological database, unique in France, in order to insure accessibility to clinical data.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon disease. Conventional treatment has consisted of either whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) or methotrexate (MTX)-based combined modality therapy integrating chemotherapy with cranial irradiation in a sandwiched manner. No matter whether the dosage of MTX is high or conventional, combining chemotherapy with WBRT greatly improves intracranial tumor control and even survival outcomes. However, delayed treatment-related neurotoxicity and neurocognitive sequelae emerged as a significant debilitating complication in PCNSL patients, especially when effective combined chemoradiation can achieve disease control and long-term...
Background. Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon disease. Conventional treatment has consisted of either whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or methotrexate (MTX)-based combined modality therapy combining chemotherapy and cranial irradiation. The treatment principles at our institute have been quite consistent in the past, sticking to the treatment protocol reported by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1990s. No matter what the dosage of MTX is, it is well-established that the addition of chemotherapy to cranial RT significantly improved survival outcomes. However, it was found that delayed treatment-related cognitive sequelae emerged as a...
PROQEM is a prospective cohort study among patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma to assess quality of life before and in the first five years after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of recording brain activity within and around high-grade glioma tumors at the time of surgery. A small biopsy will be taken at the sites of the recordings.
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor and often recurs locally despite intensive treatment. Standard chemoradiotherapy with 60 Gy may not be sufficient to control the tumor, and dose escalation seems to be warranted, but causes more toxicity. To address this, the multicentric PRIDE trial employs two cycles of bevacizumab to achieve dose escalation isotoxically. The goal is improved survival without significantly increasing side effects. The study uses a simultaneous integrated boost with a total dose of 75 Gy in 2.5 Gy per fraction.
The clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 300 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors were collected, including age, preoperative biopsy pathology results, postoperative histopathological results, TCT results, and colposcopy biopsy pathology results. At the same time, paraffin tissue specimens (remaining specimens after pathological diagnosis) from 100 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors from multiple centers across the country were collected to establish a cervical neuroendocrine tumor data follow-up database. Protein concentration and omics analysis were performed on the data results, to evaluate the molecular characteristics and prognosis of cervical neuroendocrine tumor...
Leptomeningeal metastasis is a rare but serious complication to cancer, with a grave prognosis. No efficient treatment exists. Recent data suggest that craniospinal radiotherapy lead to superior survival and CNS control compared to focal photon radiotherapy. We want to offer Danish patients the new treatment, but within a protocol, as this is new data with an new treatment principle
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific type of radiation therapy, called "proton pulsed reduced dose rate" or "PRDR radiotherapy" has any benefits at dose levels and number of fractions thought to be acceptable in earlier research studies. The researchers want to find out what effects (good and bad) PRDR has on people with cancer in the brain called a "recurrent high-grade glioma" meaning that it grows fast, can spread quickly, and it has come back or gotten worse after being treated previously.
Open label, multi-centre prospective study. Adult patients with primary central nervous system tumours fulfilling the inclusion criteria according to the study protocol. The study consists of 2 sequential cohorts evaluated consecutively for the feasibility, safety and toxicity, as well as long-term survival data, when using spot scanning proton beam therapy.
