This small, early-stage study tested a new cell therapy called QH104 for patients with advanced solid tumors that had spread to the lining of the brain (meninges). The therapy involved injecting specially engineered immune cells directly into the spinal fluid to try to attack the…

This study tested whether taking iohexol by mouth could safely treat chylous ascites, a milky fluid buildup that can occur after lymph node removal surgery for abdominal or pelvic cancers. It involved 42 adults who developed this complication after their cancer surgery. Researche…

This study compared two radiation approaches for early-stage breast cancer patients who had breast-conserving surgery. Researchers tested whether a shorter, more targeted radiation treatment (partial breast) caused fewer side effects than the standard whole breast radiation. The …

This study tested whether adding a drug called Fluzoparib to a specific type of radiation treatment before surgery could help people with soft tissue sarcoma in their arms, legs, or torso. The goal was to see if this combination was safe, effective at controlling the cancer, and …

This study tested whether a shorter radiation schedule (fewer, larger doses) works as well as the standard longer schedule for early-stage breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery. It involved 720 patients who were randomly assigned to receive one of the two radiati…

This study tested a two-part treatment given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk. Doctors combined a targeted cancer drug (apatinib) with precise, shaped radiation (IMRT) to try to shrink tumors more effectively. The main goals were to see if this a…

This study looked back at 143 patients in China who needed a second surgery after their initial rectal cancer operation failed or the cancer came back nearby. Researchers wanted to understand what factors help make this repeat surgery successful in allowing patients to use the ba…

This study tested a precise form of radiation therapy for patients with a small number of brain metastases (1-4 tumors, each 2cm or smaller). The goal was to see how well this treatment controls the tumors while avoiding serious side effects like brain tissue damage. Researchers …

This study looked back at medical records to understand what factors help patients successfully have repeat surgery when their initial rectal cancer surgery fails or the cancer returns locally. Researchers analyzed 143 patients who underwent this redo surgery to see who was able …

This study tested a new blood test to see if it could predict when lung cancer might come back after surgery. Researchers followed 500 patients who had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. They checked for cancer cells in the blood before and after surgery to see if these cell…

This study aimed to understand how often breast cancer patients develop an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) after receiving radiation therapy following surgery. Researchers followed 729 patients, checking their thyroid hormone levels before and after treatment to see if the r…
