This study tests whether giving two different chemotherapy combinations one after the other works better than the standard single combination for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. About 162 adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed disease will be randomly assigned to either th…

This study is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It tests a two-step approach: first, a strong sequence of two different chemotherapy regimens, then MRI-guided stereotactic radiotherapy for those whose cancer does not grow. The g…

This study is for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It tests whether using MRI scans early after chemotherapy can help doctors choose the best next step: surgery or more chemo with radiation. The goal is to improve cancer control and reduce side effects. About 1,075 par…

This study is for people with intestinal neuroendocrine tumors that have started growing again after initial treatment with Lutathera. It compares giving two more cycles of Lutathera versus simply monitoring the tumor over six months. The goal is to see if extra treatment can bet…

This study looks at whether chemical marks on RNA in blood or urine can help diagnose gliomas, a type of brain tumor. Researchers will test samples from 228 adults scheduled for surgery to see if these RNA changes can tell the difference between tumor types and healthy tissue. Th…

This study tests whether shining a special laser light on painful areas can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. About 70 cancer survivors with lasting nerve pain will receive either real or placebo laser treatments. The goal is to see if this safe, non-drug approach can imp…

This study tracks quality of life in 190 people with inoperable lung tumors or up to 3 lung metastases who receive a single high-dose radiation treatment. Participants fill out questionnaires before treatment and at several points over a year to measure symptoms like breathing tr…

This study tests whether a daily breathing exercise called cardiac coherence can lower anxiety in people awaiting surgery for peritoneal cancer. About 60 participants will either practice the technique or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free method …

This study tests a remote cognitive rehabilitation program for adults with slow-growing brain tumors (grade 2 or 3 glioma) who often struggle with memory, attention, and thinking. About 187 participants will either receive the program or standard care. The goal is to see if the p…

This study tests a program that combines physical therapy, yoga, and patient education to reduce joint and muscle pain caused by hormone therapy in breast cancer patients. About 108 women with non-metastatic breast cancer who have moderate to severe pain will be enrolled. Half wi…

This study tests a new type of radiation therapy that adapts to changes in the body during treatment, aiming to reduce side effects like skin burns and scarring. It includes 500 women with breast cancer who are at high risk of fibrosis (hardening of breast tissue). The goal is to…

This study aims to understand how a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation affects sexual quality of life in women with breast cancer who have menopausal symptoms like vaginal dryness and pain. About 25 women will be asked about their sexual health before and after the t…

This study tests whether a negative pressure wound therapy dressing can prevent complications like infection, wound reopening, and slow healing after complex breast cancer surgery with immediate reconstruction. About 254 women at higher risk for scarring problems (e.g., due to ob…

This study explores whether adding music therapy to standard smoking cessation support helps cancer patients quit. 26 daily smokers with cancer will work with a music therapist to create a personalized soundtrack to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. The goal is to see if t…

This study looks at whether offering personalized sexual health support early on (proactive) is better than waiting for patients to ask for it (on-request). It involves 264 breast cancer patients who finished standard treatment up to 3 months ago. The goal is to improve their sex…

This study looks at what motivates people aged 70 and older with cancer to be physically active and eat healthy. Researchers will group participants based on their motivation patterns, then test a personalized program to help them improve their activity and diet. The goal is to d…

This study looks at whether a special blood test (NovaGray RILA Breast®) can predict serious side effects from radiation therapy in women who had a mastectomy and immediate breast implant reconstruction. Researchers will follow 250 patients to see if the test can identify who is …

This study looks at whether women with early-stage breast cancer can stick to a special diet (either a low-carb ketogenic diet or a low-protein diet) for about 9 days before their surgery. The main goal is to see if the diet is doable, not to treat the cancer. Researchers will al…

This study is creating a large database of medical information and blood samples from 350 adults receiving metabolic radiotherapy for thyroid, prostate, or neuroendocrine cancers. The goal is to provide researchers with valuable data to better understand these treatments. No new …

This study looks at whether keeping the left colic artery intact during colon or rectal cancer surgery helps maintain better blood flow to the remaining colon. About 50 adults with colorectal or ovarian cancer will have their blood flow measured with and without clamping this art…
