Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM IV WHO) is the most common, primary neoplasm of brain in the adults. Simultanously it is the most agressive one of all primary brain tumors. Despite the treatment the outcome in that group of patients is poor. In case of the optimal therapy the estimated median of survival ranges between 12 and 16 months. The present standard of treatment embraces the gross total resection with the preserved neurological functions and the posoperative management according to the Stupp's protocol (fractionated radiotherapy of 60 Gy dose and the chemotherapy with Temozolamide). Annually the incidence rate of GBM is 5/100.000 of population. According to the...
This trial is a prospective, observational Phase II clinical study. For patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma with RET gene mutations who require systemic treatment, they are randomly assigned to either the Pralsetinib or Anlotinib observation cohort based on their clinical treatment choices. The treatment continues until disease progression or the occurrence of intolerable adverse reactions. At the same time, the correlation between the efficacy and safety of the drugs and the RET gene mutation subtypes is analyzed, and the resistance mechanisms of Anlotinib and Pralsetinib are preliminarily explored to provide more evidence for the...
This study is a patient-centered, two-group, three-cohort, multi-center, prospective study to further evaluate the survival benefits and safety of zorifertinib as a first-line treatment in EGFRm+ advanced NSCLC patients with CNS metastases, and to compare the clinical value of zorifertinib with other epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs).
A prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel anti-tumor drug as a radiosensitizer in patients with advanced breast cancer brain metastasis.
Cancer poses a severe threat to human physical and mental health as well as survival. High diagnostic rates of cancer and various treatments can significantly impact patients' sleep quality, leading to diverse sleep disorders. Cancer-related insomnia (CRI) is a prevalent sleep disturbance among cancer patients, potentially associated with the tumor itself, treatment modalities (such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), psychological status, pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. Although reported incidence rates vary across studies, CRI is consistently high and severely compromises patients' quality of life. Core symptoms include difficulty falling asleep, sleep maintenance...
This multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edaravone dexborneol injection in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicated by active malignancies. The study will primarily investigate whether this combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatment can improve neurological functional recovery and assess its safety profile in this high-risk population. Researchers will compare outcomes between the edaravone dexborneol treatment group and a control group receiving standard therapy to determine if the intervention provides superior neuroprotective effects. Participants will receive the assigned treatment regimen, undergo...
Vertebral body resection is a wide accepted procedure in tumor resection, deformity correction, and anterior decompression in spondylosis, ossification of posterior longitudinal ligaments, and spondylodiscitis surgery. However, reconstruction of segmental defect is still challenging to spine surgeon, especially in 3-column resection, such as total en bloc spondylectomy in tumor patients. Various graft or prosthesis for reconstruction has been reported, such as structural allograft, Harms mesh cages, expandable cages, and carbon fiber stackable cages. There are no high evidence level study examining the superiority of those different methods. Recently, 3D printed vertebral body...
Can we treat your melanoma just as effectively without doing a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in addition to your wide local excision (WLE) procedure? A wide local excision (WLE) is a surgical procedure performed to cut out an abnormal lesion and some surrounding normal tissue. This is sometimes followed by a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, in which lymph nodes that cancer cells could spread to are removed as well. We are doing this study because we want to find out if performing the WLE alone is just as effective as the usual approach for your melanoma, and if it leads to improvements in patients' overall well-being. The usual approach is defined as care most people get...
The aim of this clinical study is to learn more about the effects of urolithin A (MitoPure®) on the immune system of cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies. Any effects will be compared with patients who take a placebo instead of urolithin A (MitoPure®).
The aim of this multicenter, open-label, observational study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of octreotide microspheres in the treatment of advanced neuroendocrine tumors in real clinical practice, especially to evaluate the treatment of octreotide microspheres in various subgroups of neuroendocrine tumor patients.
