The goal of this phase 1 dose finding study is to to assess the clinical tolerability and safety of escalated dose proton therapy in glioblastoma patients treated with multimodality treatment, according to treatment volume. The main questions it aims to answer are: - what is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients? - is the maximum tolerated proton dose in glioblastoma patients dependent on treatment volume? - what is the recommended phase 2 proton dose in glioblastoma patients? Patients will be asked to undergo radiotherapy to step-wise escalated doses using proton therapy as part of their multimodality treatment. Patients will be...
The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of...
This study collects information and data on patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Information from this study may be used to better understand the correlation between clinical data, such as patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcomes, and overall patient outcomes.
This study aims to prospectively document the population characteristics, imaging findings, pathological features, prognostic factors, etc., of patients with mediastinal tumors. Clinical information will be structured and processed, and it is recommended to establish a mediastinal tumors database at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The goal is to provide support for the quality of diagnosis and treatment, clinical protocols, and medical decision-making related to mediastinal tumors.
This research is being done to find out more information about a brain tumor called Embryonal Tumor with Multilayer Rosettes (ETMR) by collecting medical information from children who have this disease. The purpose of this research study is to create and maintain a research database for patients with ETMR. The database will include information about occurrence rates, patient information, tumor tissue information, and response to treatment. This will help advance our understanding of this rare disease. In addition, this study will include obtaining survival data and evaluating therapeutic response to expert consensus therapy, and procuring patient tumor tissue.
Over the last decades, research has shown that poor nutritional status can adversely impact prognosis and increase toxicities during treatment for childhood cancer. EPICkids is a collaboration between the International Initiative for Pediatrics and Nutrition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and sites throughout three Southern European countries (Spain, Greece, and Italy). The primary aim of EPICkids is to establish an informational resource on critical nutrition parameters wherein we can describe the trajectory of nutritional status among Southern European children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and favorable biology brain tumors,...
The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of EUS-FNI for MEN1-related pNETs
The current study aims to access the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of EUS-FNI for nonfunctional pNETs
To distinguish various molecular subtypes of gliomas by spectra data obtained from Raman analyzer, including IDH mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted, ATRX deletion, TERT promoter mutation, MGMT promoter methylation, EGFR amplification, H3 K27-altered, TP53 mutant, PTEN deficiency, ki 67, AQP4, VEGF, and so on, comparing with the results of Immunohistochemistry or genetic test on the same brain tissue samples.
This study is designed with open-label and randomized parallel group to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous dendritic cell vaccination (ADCV01) as an add-on treatment for primary glioblastoma multiforme
