The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of dynamic [18F]FDG PET imaging in assessing brain metastasis post stereotactic radiotherapy to separate true progression from the treatment-related changes.
Glioblastoma is a brain tumor with a very poor prognosis, affecting around 2,400 new patients every year. Current treatments do not provide good control of the disease. In view of the therapeutic impasse, it is necessary to develop new strategies. CAR-T cells (Chimeric antigen receptor T cells) represent a highly promising therapy for the treatment of incurable cancers, including glioblastoma. This treatment aims to destroy cancer cells by relying on the patient's own immune system. CAR-T cells are generated from the patient's own immune cells, more specifically T lymphocytes, which are genetically modified to express a tumor-specific receptor on their surface. CAR-T cells bind to...
Ultrasonography(USG)-guided optic nerve sheath diameter measurement and its correlation with brain computed tomography in the evaluation of intracranial pressure in patients who underwent intracranial brain tumor surgery.
Taking part in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This research will admit a wide range of data on the clinical study experience of neuroendocrine tumor patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future patients with neuroendocrine tumor.
The objective of this study is to evaluate to what extent the capacity of the NODDI model can allow, in case of Malignant brain tumor patients with vasogenic edema, the elaboration of a reliable cerebral functional mapping in accordance with the data of direct electrical stimulation (DES) which is today the reference tool. the patient's participation in this study implies an additional visit during which an MRI examination without injection of contrast medium will be performed, lasting approximately 40 minutes (including installation and de-installation).
: The evaluation of gliomas in imaging represents a real challenge today, at the initial diagnosis, for therapeutic planning or follow-up treatment of these lesions. There is an urgent need for non-invasive imaging tools to evaluate a glioma throughout its management. At present, the diagnosis of certainty is only obtained through an anatomo-pathological analysis with sampling during an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy). Magnetic resonance imaging, through perfusion, diffusion imaging or spectroscopy is developing in gliomas. However, it remains time-consuming and is not always available. At the same time, positron emission tomography (PET) with amino acids is an...
Study Rationale: Breast cancer survivors are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) or neurocognitive disease than age-matched counterparts without a history of cancer diagnosis. Some anti-cancer treatments cause damage to the cells of heart and the walls of blood vessels, which may exacerbate neurovascular dysfunction and cancer-related cognitive impairment (symptoms such as 'chemo-brain'), as well as accelerating the onset of neurocognitive disease. Therefore, effective policies and therapeutic strategies are needed to minimize neurovascular dysfunction and neurocognitive disease in at-risk populations like breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise training is...
This pilot clinical trial plans to carry out dabrafenib adjuvant therapy combined with lesion curettage after fenestrated decompressive surgery for BRAF mutation-positive multicystic ameloblastoma to explore the effectiveness of this therapy in preventing tumor recurrence, reducing or even avoiding postoperative deformity and dysfunction. effect. Based on this, we plan to launch a prospective clinical study of dabrafenib in the treatment of BRAF V600E ameloblastoma, verify the feasibility of drug treatment or drug-assisted treatment of ameloblastoma, and provide patients with a safer Effective new treatment options will benefit more patients.
Taking part in medical research usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of Merkel cell carcinoma patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future Merkel cell carcinoma patients.
Pharmacoscopy refers to an ex vivo real-time drug sensitivity profiling platform that has been shown to be of value in the treatment of leukemia (Snijder et al. 2017) (Kornauth et al. 2022) and may help to identify novel treatment opportunities for brain tumors as well (Lee et al. 2022). The rationale for pharmacoscopy-based drug sensitivity testing on real-time patient biopsies or surgery material is multiple: measuring drug response and sensitivity directly in real-time patient material, overcomes the problem of limited molecular biomarkers for established targeted therapeutic options and can identify effective drugs even for non-targeted therapies such as chemotherapy. It can...
