Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can save lives but is under-used, especially among minority and low-income patients in urban safety-net systems. Interventions among safety-net patients have improved screening but require additional refinement. For example, the investigators demonstrated that
Recently, dual switching monopolar RFA (DSM-RFA) was developed to enhance further the efficiency of the single switching monopolar RFA (SSM-RFA) in creating ablation zone; Yoon et al. reported that DSM-RFA allowed significantly greater RF energy delivery to target tissue per given time, and then,
Increasing ablative zone is an essential part to improve technical success and long term outcome in patient treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
A combination of dual switching system and separable clustered electrode has been reported to create large ablative zone in preclinical study.
Based
In 2016, 3,615 renal transplantations (RT) were performed in France. RT is indicated for end-stage renal failure, especially in dialysis patients. The average cost of a year of dialysis is 60,000 €, and that of a kidney transplantation according to the GHS tariff of 20,000 € (excluding preparation
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Develop the content of the structural program focused on facilitating the selection, adaptation, and implementation of cancer prevention and control evidence-based interventions.
II. Conduct a training program to assist one rural community-based organization to select, adapt,
The aim of this study is to develop and identify the most effective strategy to implement PCRPs into daily care. We want to assess the added value of a multi-faceted strategy compared with a single-faceted patient-directed strategy.
We will conduct a clustered controlled before and after study (CBA)
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To identify and catalogue genetic alterations and protein changes associated with developmental stages of cervical cancer.
- To identify a ranked list of candidate genes that drive the transformation of premalignant lesions to tumors for further study and validation as
Regular colonoscopy is effective in reducing morbidity and mortality due to colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients at increased familial CRC risk. Currently, the majority of these at-risk individuals are not properly referred for increased surveillance by colonoscopy or genetic counselling. In 2008, a
Rationale: Since the introduction of cisplatin, metastatic testicular cancer (TC) has become a highly curable disease. Successfully treated TC patients have a small chance of a relapse. In case of a relapse, early treatment will improve outcome. This stresses the need for a frequent and stringent
In Western countries, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and breast cancer screening using mammography has reduced breast cancer mortality by 18-29%. In Taiwan, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women and the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health
Rationale: Guidelines on breast cancer treatment show grey areas for some radiotherapy (RT) indications. In some recommendations the uncertainty is marked and deferred to sharing the final decision on the treatment of choice with the patient. Other recommendations are straightforward, but the
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the pathological complete response in patients with triple-negative, stage II or III breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant cisplatin and paclitaxel with or without everolimus.
Secondary
- To determine the safety profile of these treatment regimens.
- To evaluate
Despite exciting recent advances in cancer treatments, there still, ultimately, comes a time when advanced disease progresses, and patients can reliably be expected to have months, not years, left to live. For patients with metastatic cancers studied in the investigator's Coping with Cancer NCI
Background Breast cancers exhibit a wide scope of morphologic features with demonstrated prognostic significance. These features have the advantage of easily evaluated in routine reporting; thus offering great clinical potential. In our earlier analysis, fibrotic focus (FF) was demonstrated to have
