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...
This is a prospective observational study with the aim to create an Italian database for the collection of data on diagnostic approach, therapy and follow up of patients affected by GEP-NET (gastro-enteric-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours). Data for approximately 200 italian patients were already previously collected in the ENETS database (international database). ENETS decided to interrupt the collection of the data for an indefinite period. For this reason, through an amendment (number 1) to the protocol, ITANET (Italian Association Neuro-endocrine Tumors) decided to transfer the italian data into a national database and to go on with the collection/update of the data, in order...
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
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.
The first proton therapy treatments in the Netherlands have taken place in 2018. Due to the physical properties of protons, proton therapy has tremendous potential to reduce the radiation dose to the healthy, tumour-surrounding tissues. In turn, this leads to less radiation-induced complications, and a decrease in the formation of secondary tumours. The Netherlands has spearheaded the development of the model-based approach (MBA) for the selection of patients for proton therapy when applied to prevent radiation-induced complications. In MBA, a pre-treatment in-silico planning study is done, comparing proton and photon treatment plans in each individual patient, to determine (1)...
The theranostic principle is based on the use of radiolabeled compounds which can be applied for diagnostic molecular imaging and targeted delivery of radiation to the tumor. Gastrointestinal tumors (GIT), including gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) also express a phenotypic biomarker called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), thereby rendering it a potential diagnostic (through positron emission tomography (PET) scan imaging) and therapeutic target for radioligand therapy. Aim is to evaluate whether PSMA-directed in-vivo imaging can be also applied to GEP-NEN patients to determine if i) biopsy-derived tissue of newly diagnosed patients exhibit a...
This study intends to conduct a small, prospective, single-center clinical study to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyrrotinib combined with capecitabine and bevacizumab in HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with brain metastases.The overall objective is to provide a new drug regimen for HER2 positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases by balancing survival benefits and patient quality of life.
This is a single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadruple immunotherapy with natural killer (NK) cells, anti-GD2 antibody, cytokines (interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)) and retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRg) agonist spironolactone for paediatric patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
Italian translation and validation study of two different questionnaire (VSQOL and DRS) about quality of life in patient with acoustic schwannoma.
