This study investigates how training under conditions of reduced oxygen (intermittent hypoxia) affects the body's ability to produce red blood cells and manage iron levels, compared to training under normal oxygen conditions. Red blood cells are essential for transporting oxygen …

When metastatic prostate cancer becomes unresponsive to hormone therapy, it is known as castration resistant prostate cancer, treatment options are limited and response to this treatment can be short. The standard treatment for this type of cancer (hydrocortisone or dexamethason…

This will be a prospective cohort study of patients with liver disease. Subjects will undergo geriatric assessments of frailty, functional status, and disability using functional status measures at baseline and at every clinic visit in the pre-transplant setting. Subjects will al…

The investigators will propose to older cancer patients with good prognosis (curative care) a randomized trial of adapted physical activity during one year. To increase generalisation of the intervention the investigators intend to compare the PNNS advices (the French National Nu…

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. Overall 5-year survival rate is fewer than 10% and the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy is limited. The new knowledge shows the correlation between genetic alteration and effective of chemotherapy. Therefore non-su…
