Project development relied on principles of community based participatory research. Participants were recruited from faith institutions in four distressed Appalachian Kentucky counties. Investigators at the University of Kentucky worked closely with local staff who implemented study procedures in
The developmental phase of this project incorporated community based participatory research (CBPR) principles to identify the needs and preferences of community members with regard to cancer prevention. In the intervention phase, this group-randomized trial administers and evaluates a set of
Background:
- A phase III trial demonstrated that combining docetaxel and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly improved survival (57.6 vs 44.0 months (HR=0.56, (0.44-0.70), p <0.0001) for men with metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).
- PROSTVAC (developed by the
BACKGROUND
- Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and surveillance are treatment options for prostate cancer patients with biochemical progression after localized therapy (biochemically recurrent prostate cancer). The primary goal in these patients is to prevent morbidity from their cancer and to do
Patients with possible operable NSCLC after staging with CT are randomised to PET-CT with FDG or not, prior to mediastinoscopy. All patients are referred to mediastinoscopy unless a positive FDG uptake results in a positive biopsy suggesting stage IV disease.
Biopsies are performed according to the
Background:
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors interfere with the immune system s autoregulatory mechanisms, allowing for a potentially expanded and prolonged T-cell response with the possibility of greater antitumor effects.
- Nivolumab is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is the 4th cancer-related cause of death in Western countries and it is expected to become the 2nd leading cause of death by 2030 [1]. Approximately 80% of patients are unresectable at diagnosis [2] including a 41.4% of patients found unresectable at exploratory
Background:
- Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and surveillance are standard therapy options for prostate cancer patients with biochemical progression after localized therapy (or nonmetastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer; nmCSPC also known as D0 Prostate Cancer). These patients cannot be
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the largest number of cancer deaths annually, worldwide. (Ferlay et al, 2007) Of these, about 30% are early stage patients (stage I and II). For this group of patients, radical surgery with mediastinal lymph node dissection has been the mainstay of
Study Design: This is a randomized, controlled trial assessing the impact of nature sights and sounds (NSS) on pain control in oncology outpatients undergoing bone marrow aspirate and biopsy (BMBx) in the Weinberg Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. One hundred twenty patients will be assigned to one of
The exact mechanisms by which AMS develops remains poorly understood. Interestingly, brain and spinal cord swelling due to low oxygen levels can also occur in the period following surgery to treat thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, dangerous swellings of the major blood vessel in the body.
Subjects are volunteers who provide prospective informed consent to be entered into the Sangre Por Salud Biobank at Mountain Park Medical Center. These include men and women age 18-85 of Hispanic/Latino descent, who are not pregnant or have given birth in the previous 12 months, or who are nursing,
The investigators propose to validate the technical and organizational feasibility of workshops using the intelligent electric bike for health with different devices such as two connected vests (non-invasive) measuring on the one hand the cardiological and respiratory parameters (connected vest
Fentanyl endovenous (ev) is an excellent analgesic drug for pain relief in acute traumatic pain. Fentanyl sublingual (Abstral ®) is an excellent analgesic drug in the breakthrough cancer pain relief in oncologic patients.
The immediate (less than 10 minutes) effect and the ease of administration of
To study whether Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulation Factor (GM-CSF) increases macrophage infiltration in children with ependymoma (EPN) who are to have planned surgery as a standard procedure for incomplete resection or recurrent tumor. To correlate the extent of macrophage infiltration with
