Reconstruction using 3D virtual models has brought about a revolution in diagnostic imaging and its use is increasingly widespread. The objective of this work is to determine the precision of the 3D model when establishing the characteristics of tumors and their relationship with other anatomical structures.
To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of a novel lumen-apposing FCSEMS for EUS-guided transenteric drainage of PFC or of biliary tree including GB
The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vitamin C plus herbal medicine in improving the quality of life for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who are resistant to chemotherapy.
Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of bortezomib with or without gemcitabine in treating patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining bortezomib with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy and pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, that have failed prior therapy, and that cannot be removed by surgery. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with pembrolizumab may be a better treatment in patients with solid tumors.
This is a phase 2, single-centre, randomized, multi-cohort trial of subjects with advanced Mismatch Repair Proficient Colorectal Cancer (MMRp-CRC), Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PA), and Leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Subjects will be stratified based on their primary malignancy and enrolled into one of the following cohorts:
* Cohort A: olaparib and durvalumab.
* Cohort B: cediranib and durvalumab.
Subjects will receive durvalumab through an intravenous line every 4 weeks. If subjects are assigned to the olaparib group, then they will take this pill twice a day continuously. If subjects are assigned to the cediranib group, then they will take this pill once a day for 5 consecutive days, and then have 2 consecutive days off, every week.
Subjects will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the changes in genomic and immune biomarkers in tumor, peripheral blood and stool samples, in addition to changes in radiomic profiles. About 90 people (45 subjects in each cohort) will be enrolled into this study at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
This retrospective study aims to analyze the impact of postoperative changes in serum uric acid (SUA) levels on the prognosis of patients undergoing pancreatic cancer resection.
The goal of this prospective, interventional, non-randomized study was to compare pain score in unilateral and bilateral posterior percutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) in upper abdominal cancer patients.
The main questions it aimed to answer are:
1. Whether unilateral or bilateral NCPB technique has a better pain relief
2. Was there any difference in terms of complication rates between these two approaches All participants were having upper abdominal cancer whether operated or non-operable cancer were given a unilateral or bilateral neurolytic celiac plexus block.
Pain scores and adverse events at multiple time points post-procedure were recorded.
This clinical trial studies if kilo-voltage cone beam computed tomography (KV-CBCT) and ultrasound imaging works in guiding radiation therapy in patients with prostate, liver, or pancreatic cancer. Computer systems, such as KV-CBCT and ultrasound imaging, allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor may help in planning radiation therapy and may result in more tumor cells being killed.
