This phase II trial studies the effect of selpercatinib given before surgery in treating patients with thyroid cancer whose tumors have RET alterations (changes in the genetic material [deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)]). Selpercatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selpercatinib before surgery may help shrink the tumors and help control the disease.
This study is to prospectively compare the standard supine (control group) and the semi-sitting position (head elevation of 30°; intervention group) in endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery.
The study involves enrollment of patients with sebaceous carcinoma, Merkel's carcinoma, Porocarcinoma, Melanoma, and squamous cell Ca of the ocular surface and adnexa both primary and relapsed after surgical and/or radiation-chemotherapy treatment at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS. The study will last 9 years: 1 year will be devoted to the first phase of the study. Patient enrollment will continue for an additional 3 years, and 5 years will be devoted overall to patient follow-up so that survival outcomes at 1-3 and 5 years can be assessed in a congruent number of patients. A preliminary analysis of the...
The registry of this study was subjected to patients who were radiologically diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor at Seoul National University Hospital since 2001, and who have had magnetic resonance (MR) re-examination after first MR exam or will be re-examined because it was determined that immediate treatment would not be needed at the first visit to the hospital. In all MRs taken by patients, the date of imaging and the volume of the tumor are measured, and we aim to establish a natural growth history for non-malignant brain tumors.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatment and natural history of pituitary disease. We have a longstanding interest in pituitary disease including acromegaly, central diabetes insipidus, and nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma. We will continue to follow patients and recruit new patients for treatment and follow-up. Blood and pituitary tumor tissue (when available through clinical care) will be saved for future analyses related to pituitary disease.
This is a multicenter prospective single arm phase II study, and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential treatment regimens with RO-MTX after pomalidomide, orelabrutinib, rituximab (POR) in newly-diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma, and explore the feasibility of chemo-free treatment in PCNSL. The primary objective was the overall response rate (ORR; defined as partial response [PR] or better) after 4 cycles of POR.
This study examines whether repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s scan helps identify changes in the tumor during radiation and chemotherapy treatment in patients with high grade glioma. Additional MRIs scan may help researchers to see changes in the status of the disease. Seeing these changes may result in changes to the treatment plan.
This trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging work in characterizing lower grade glioma. Diagnostic procedures, such as MR imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging, may detect serial changes in lower grade glioma. This study may help researchers learn more about practical ways of evaluating and standardizing treatment in patients with brain tumors.
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: - ...
Recent advances in understanding how cancer develops and spreads have led to effective new treatments and improved outcomes for patients with melanoma. However, we know that these new treatments do not work for all patients: some do not respond to them and some initially respond but then develop resistance. The overall aim of this study will be to collect tumour biopsies, biomarkers present in the blood, and other biological specimens which can be used to try to understand why resistance to anti-cancer treatment occurs, and to develop predictive biomarkers of this resistance in patients with locally advanced and metastatic malignant...
