The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive value of the heterogeneity of 68Ga-FAPI PET-CT uptake before treatment on the response of T-DXd treatment in patients with brain metastases of HER2-positive breast cancer. The patient underwent 68Ga-FAPI PET-CT examinations within 2 weeks before and after 2 cycles of T-DXd treatment. Heterogeneity index, SUVmax, SUVmean and other uptake values were collected to investigate the association with efficacy of T-DXd.
[Background] For newly-diagnosed patients with brain metastases (BMs), conventional whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) might still remain a common palliative management. However, WBRT-related late consequences, particularly a decline in neurocognitive functions (NCFs), are a major concern. Actually, WBRT-related neurocognitive dysfunction is usually characterized as deterioration involving learning and memory, in which the extremely radiosensitive hippocampus indeed plays a critical role. To postpone the occurrence and mitigate neurocognitive impairments associated with conventional WBRT, there have been some strategies in the clinical practice of radiation oncology. Among them,...
The investigators were to explore whether high-dose Furmonertinib, compared with osimertinib, could achieve longer survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastasis.
This is a phase Ⅱ clinical study of Zanubrutinib(Z) in combination with methotrexate (M) and thiotepa(T) in treating newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and tolerability of a combination treatment of MTZ regimen in treating patients who have newly diagnosed PCNSL
The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to determine whether the application of high frequency neuronavigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) on the contralateral of Broca's area can ameliorate glioma patients's non-fluent aphasia after tumor resection. The questions this trial is aiming to answer are: 1. Whether the nrTMS can ameliorate glioma patients' postoperative language impairements. 2. if yes, how effective nrTMS is for improving glioma patients' postoperative language function.
DERM is a Medical Device that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors check if a skin lesion might be cancerous. It works by analysing close-up pictures of skin lesions taken with a smartphone. This study aims to demonstrate how consistent (precise) the output of DERM is: i.e. does it provide the same result when it analyses multiple photos of the same lesion (repeatability), and when the same lesion is photographed by different people, or with different cameras (reproducibility). Adults with at least one skin lesion that doctors are checking for cancer, as part of their standard care, will be able to take part. Suitable lesions will be photographed three times, each by...
This study investiagates deep-regional or superficial hyperthermia to enhance radiotherapy or chemoradiation in patients that suffer recurrent disease after previous radiotherapy.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the presence of circulating tumoral cells in patients over 18 with a stage I-III resectable Merkel cell carcinoma after the initial therapeutic sequence of surgery and radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is : Can any residual disease be found in the form of circulating tumoral cells in blood samples of patients treated with surgery and radiotherapy for a resectable, stage I to III Merkel cell carcinoma ? When possible, the circulating tumoral cells count will be compared to the one realized in a blood sample of the same patient before surgery and radiotherapy. Participants will : - Have a...
The aim of this research is to determine which volatile organic compounds (odors) are associated with different skin cancers. To this end, odor samples will be taken from various parts of the body, from patients with skin cancers and from "healthy" subjects who have no skin cancer. The various samples collected will be analyzed in the laboratory, and compared with each other, to determine whether there is a specific "smell" for the main types of skin cancer.
To learn if LBP can help to prevent lymphedema when it is performed at the time of surgery rather than after a patient has already developed the disease.
