This study tested two different treatment plans for people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer that is on the edge of being removable by surgery. 130 patients received either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus radiation before surgery. The goal was to see which approac…

This trial tests whether giving a higher radiation dose during brachytherapy, a type of internal radiation, can improve local control in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Participants receive standard external beam radiation and chemotherapy, plus a boosted brachyth…

This study tests a special microscope that lets doctors check if all cancer cells have been removed during surgery for common skin cancers. About 42 adults with head, neck, or skin cancer will take part. The goal is to see if this quick method is as accurate as the standard lab t…

This trial tests whether indocyanine green, a dye injected before surgery, can find sentinel lymph nodes as reliably as the standard technetium-99 radioactive tracer. About 744 adults with various cancers will receive both agents, and surgeons will compare detection rates using a…

This trial investigates whether a blood test can detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. Researchers will take blood samples before, during, and after surgery, and use two different methods to count these cells. The goal is to see if …

This completed Phase 2 trial tested whether formal hypnosis, alongside standard care, could reduce anxiety and pain in 68 cancer patients undergoing brachytherapy. Patients received either standard care with Kalinox or standard care plus formal hypnosis. The study measured anxiet…

This study tested a 3-session program combining meditation and acceptance and commitment therapy for staff at a cancer center. Twenty employees participated, and researchers measured how many completed the program and their satisfaction. The goal was to see if the program is feas…

This study looked at 22 women with cervical cancer to see if having an empty bladder (using a catheter) or a full bladder (filled with 120cc of fluid) is better during a type of internal radiation called brachytherapy. The goal was to find which method lowers the radiation dose t…

This study looked at how closely 200 adults with advanced breast or prostate cancer follow their prescribed oral cancer treatments. Participants filled out questionnaires about their medication use and gave blood samples to check certain health markers. The goal was to understand…

This study looked at 100 women having a mastectomy to see if a device called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) can detect when a nerve block isn't working. The device measures pain signals during general anesthesia. If it works, doctors could adjust pain treatment right away,…

This completed study looked at 261 French cancer patients to understand why many do not exercise, despite evidence that physical activity improves survival and well-being. Researchers surveyed patients about their personality, motivation, anxiety, and social background. The goal …
