68Ga-PSMA PET in the Renal Cell Carcinoma

The primary research purpose is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA PET in metastatic lesions of locally advanced and advanced renal cell carcinoma, and to compare with that of enhanced CT. The second purpose is to evaluate whether 68Ga-PSMA PET can change the treatment decision of patients with locally advanced and advanced renal cell carcinoma

Zanidatamab in Combination With Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy in HER2 and PD-L1 Positive Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (GEA) Patients

The ZANGEA trial is a open-label, single arm, multicenter phase II trial assessing the efficacy of zanidatamab in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). The patients need to be previously untreated in the palliative setting and tested positive for HER2 and PD-L1.

High Dose Radiotherapy for Palliation (Hi-D)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of single-blind randomization between two palliative regimens - standard 24 Gray in 3 fractions vs a high-dose (Hi-D) 27 Gray in 3 fractions with dose escalation within the tumor in participants with bulky metastatic cancer. The main question

Preoperative Y-90 Radioembolization for Tumor Control and Future Liver Remnant Hypertrophy in Patients With Colorectal Liver Metastases

A prospective, interventional study evaluating the safety of Y-90 TARE for tumor control of the right side and induction of left liver hypertrophy as part of a planned single-stage or two-stage hepatectomy for patients with CLM and insufficient FLR at the time of presentation.

Malignant Pleural Disease Treated With Autologous T Cells Genetically Engineered to Target the Cancer-Cell Surface Antigen Mesothelin

The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety of different doses of specially prepared immune cells (called "T cells") collected from blood. The Investigators want to find a safe dose of these modified T cells for patients who have malignant pleural disease. They want to find out what effects these T cells have on the patient and the cancer (MPD). Phase 2 part of the study, the investigators will test the dose in combination with another drug, pembrolizumab, to see what effects the study treatment has on malignant pleural mesothelioma.

EpCAM-Targeted Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Nanotags for Rapid Evaluation of Surgical Margins and Sentinel Lymph Node Metastasis Status in Breast Cancers

For early breast cancer patients, breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy have emerged as the cornerstone of precision oncology, harmonizing oncologic efficacy with the preservation of breast cosmetics and axillary function. However, conventional margin evaluation relies on subjective experience, leading to positive margin rates of 15%-50% Additionally, sentinel lymph node biopsy faces inherent technical limitations, including prolonged procedural time and significant false-negative rates in detecting micro-metastases. To overcome these challenges, the investigators will introduce a stable "sandwich" EpCAM-targeted surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection system to provide rapid evaluation of surgical margins and sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis status. In brief, a portion of resected tissue will be immediately homogenized by grinding, and the tissue homogenate will then be analyzed using this detection system to determine its histological characteristics. Pathological confirmation will further validate the method. This approach aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of intraoperative assessment of breast-conserving surgical margins and SLN status, thereby effectively reducing local recurrence rates and complications.

SABR PRIMER - Evaluating Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Primary and Regional Breast Tumors

The study is being done to determine if stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) can control tumour growth for patients with metastatic breast cancer. Secondary objectives will be overall survival, progression-free survival and time to switch of next line of systemic therapy. Radiation-related adverse events will be assess, with a specific focus on dermatitis, lymphedema and brachial plexopathy. The exploratory objective is to correlate toxicities and outcomes with peripheral blood biomarkers and circulating tumor DNA to potentially help predict responses in future patients receiving combined therapy.

Tumor-Targeted-NIR-II Fluorescent Molecular Probes for the Identification of Breast Cancer Tissue and SLN Metastatic Status

Accurate evaluation of tumor boundaries in breast-conserving surgery is closely associated with reducing the second operation of patients. Meanwhile, accurately assessing sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis is crucial for determining the extent of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and minimizing complications. Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging using molecular agents has shown promise for in situ imaging during resection. However, very effective probes can be applied to clinical trials up to now, which limits the clinical application of fluorescence imaging. Here we developed a new technology that can quickly differentiation between cancer and para-cancer tissue as well as metastatic and normal sentinel lymph nodes(SLN). In brief, the fresh tissues were incubated with the probe immediately after intraoperative resection and imaged to identify the tumor area and distinguish the metastatic status of SLN. The accuracy of fluorescence imaging was confirmed by pathological diagnosis.

Evaluation of Adjuvant Hormonal Treatment for 24 Months After Radical Prostatectomy in High Risk of Recurrence Patients.

PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of effectiveness in terms of survival without metastases to 10 years, of adjuvant hormonal treatment with leuprorelin acetate (Eligard® 45 mg) for 24 months after radical prostatectomy in patients with high risk of recurrence. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S): * PSA evolution * Evaluation of testosterone level * Specific survival * Overall survival * Tolerance * Quality of life (QLQ-C30 questionnaires)

Longitudinal Study of Local Ablative Therapy in Oligometastatic Disease

This prospective national multicenter observational and interventional study aims to assess the longitudinal disease trajectory of patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) who receive local metastasis-directed therapy. Patients with any category of OMD from any non-hematological cancer are eligible for inclusion. Local ablative therapy (LAT) includes surgical metastasectomy, radiotherapy, thermal ablation, and electroporations. The primary objective is to assess the time to failure of LAT strategy in patients with OMD from any primary cancer treated with all LAT modalities.
