Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NENs)are rare cancers arising from the neuroendocrine cells and can affect almost any part of the body. They vary from low grade neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to high grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). These tumors often occur in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, lungs, adrenal medulla (pheochromocytomas) or adrenal cortex (adrenocortical cancer) and other areas of the body mentioned below: - Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET): stomach, duodenum, pancreas, colon, appendix, etc. - Liver and gallbladder - Adrenal tumors - Pituitary gland - Thyroid gland: medullary thyroid...
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, saliva, and blood from patients with cancer and from healthy participants to study in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing tissue samples from patients with head and neck cancer and from healthy participants.
This is an open-label, phase 1 trial evaluating the safety of oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 in combination with lymphocyte-depleting chemotherapy and TILs in metastatic melanoma patients.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients with pituitary gland tumors.
The primary objective of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a novel generation of gene-modified tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in a cohort of 10 patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. TILs will undergo transduction with the Interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene, for IL-7 production upon antigen engagement. Participants will undergo: - screening - tumor operation following autologous TIL production (incl. transduction) - takes approximately 4-6 weeks - admission for lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine phosphate), TIL infusion and high-dose IL-2 infusions...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate topotecan and melphalan for retinoblastoma patients.
Phase II, single-arm, prospective clinical study of Toripalimab(a PD-1 antibody) combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of sinonasal malignant mucosal melanoma after endoscopic surgery.
The current study assesses the tolerability and efficacy of monotherapy with pan-RAF-kinase (Tovorafenib) inhibition for the treatment of children and young adults with craniopharyngioma.
Brain tumors involve different age groups with a wide range of tumor types involving different anatomical compartments of the brain. The evolution of the brain in vertebrates, including the most recent homo species (including humans), has occurred through increasing structural complexity in more evolved species. In the retrospective study, we will investigate the location of the tumors and different structural aspects of skull anatomy in patients with brain tumors. The information will be compared with the anatomical evolution of the brain and skull in vertebrates to look for possible associations, which can provide insights into evolutionary biology.
