The sample will consist of 66 patients diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy, with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, who will be randomized into two groups. The physical performance and fatigue outcomes will be compared between the control and the
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) reduces physical function and muscle mass and increases fatigue. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), when used as a stand-alone intervention, improves muscle strength and muscle mass in non-cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background: Approximately 3 000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer in Canada each year [Canadian Cancer Society]. Children with cancer experience higher rates of anxiety and depression symptoms relative to healthy controls [Pinquart & Shen, 2011], and a subgroup are vulnerable to
This study is a 2-arm, parallel design, single-blind randomized controlled pilot study designed to compare the effects of a tailored multi-level physical activity intervention (PAI) vs healthy living intervention (HLI) on exercise capacity, cardiovascular and cognitive function, health-related
Hematological malignancies arise from deficiencies in blood cell lineage which represent a heterogeneous group including leukemias, lymphomas, myelomas, myeloproliferative diseases and myelodysplastic syndromes. In recent years, a great majority of patients with hematological malignancies often
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed advanced stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma randomized to N-AVD (nivolumab, doxorubicin hydrochloride [doxorubicin], vinblastine sulfate [vinblastine], dacarbazine) versus that obtained with BV-AVD
Trial Design:
STELLAR is a UK multi-centre trial for patients with newly-diagnosed Richter's Syndrome (RS), which is a rare and highly aggressive transformation of another blood cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). It has two parts: a randomised trial (the main component of the trial) which
Study Design: A single-center, two-arm, parallel group with standard of care controlled trial with a balanced 1:1 randomization will be conducted at University Hospital Inselspital, Berne, Switzerland. A total of 120 women (60 participants per study arm) who are scheduled for first- line
Brief Overview:
The remarkable progress in developing curative therapy for childhood cancer over the last 4 to 5 decades has increased awareness of the serious cancer treatment-related late effects experienced by long-term survivors such as premature mortality early deaths, second primary cancers,
INTRODUCTION Background Children Cancer in Pakistan: Millions of people are affected by cancer worldwide. Cancer is one of the major health problems in Pakistan . About 8,000 children below 18 year were diagnosed with cancer annually. Most children diagnosed in advance stage . In Pakistan 31%
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and lymphoma patients with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) will be satisfied with the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention, and if CBT will be feasible for AML and lymphoma patients with CRF where the feasibility will
Acromegaly is a rare, chronic, disabling disease of endocrine origin that causes several debilitating systemic dysfunctions due to the excessive production of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) (Gadelha et al., 2017).
In 98% of cases, the disease is caused by a sporadic
Hematologic malignancies affecting blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes comprise neoplasm of either myeloid or lymphoid blood stem cells origin. While a lymphoid stem cell becomes a white blood cell, a myeloid stem cell becomes one of the red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets types. Due to
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of CD30-positive Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The majority of patients with HL have a good outcome with first-line chemotherapy such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors being following at St. Jude within the SJLIFE protocol cohort who were treated with TRT will be recruited to complete a comprehensive neurocognitive evaluation, overnight polysomnography evaluation, brain and neck MRI, cervical strength testing, and serum biomarkers
