PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare overall survival (OS) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin (modified [m]FOLFIRINOX) and surgery versus up-front surgery followed by

Breast cancer is the second most common in the world and the most frequent in the female population. In Italy, around 48,000 new cases were diagnosed in 2013. Every year patients undergoing surgical procedures in the region of the breast and armpit, like other surgical areas, report a significant

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, with the second highest incidence and the third highest mortality.Adenocarcinoma accounts for 95% of gastric malignancies and is the most common malignancy of the digestive tract. Seventy percent of the patients with early gastric

Cancer-related mortality rates decreased considerably thanks to novel treatment methods and new agents over the last two decades. Although chemotherapy (CT) is an effective treatment type in reducing the size of the tumor and eliminating metastases, it may harm many different organs and systems due

Studying quality of life over time in patients followed for metastatic breast cancer will identify when a person may feel most vulnerable in their experience of the disease and treatment. A specific and adapted support can thus be set up throughout the disease, from the diagnosis and during the

Rationale: The majority of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients present with metastases, most often including liver metastases. These patients have a poorer prognosis and lower quality of life. Currently, intravenous administered somatostatin-bound radionuclides (177Lu-dotatate) have shown to improve
