This study is testing a more personalized approach to treating advanced rectal cancer. It aims to see if doctors can safely skip radiation therapy for patients who respond very well to initial chemotherapy, potentially reducing side effects. The trial will enroll over 1,000 patie…

This study is testing whether giving two more cycles of Lutathera treatment helps people whose intestinal neuroendocrine tumors have started growing again after previous Lutathera therapy. Researchers will compare giving the extra treatment against simply monitoring the cancer wi…

This study is testing a more personalized approach to radiotherapy for breast cancer patients at high risk of both side effects and the cancer returning. It uses a new blood test to identify patients who are especially sensitive to radiation, then gives them a more precise, adapt…

This study is testing if giving two powerful chemotherapy combinations one after the other works better than the current standard single combination for people with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer. It will involve 162 patients to see if this sequential approach helps…

This study is testing if a powerful, two-step treatment can better control a hard-to-treat form of pancreatic cancer. First, patients receive two strong chemotherapy drugs in sequence. If the cancer doesn't grow, they then receive a very precise, high-dose form of radiotherapy gu…

This study aims to personalize radiation therapy for breast cancer patients based on their individual risk of the cancer returning and their personal likelihood of experiencing side effects. Researchers will use a blood test to predict a patient's sensitivity to radiation and gro…

This study is testing if a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction (negative pressure therapy) can prevent infections and poor healing after complex breast cancer surgery. It will involve 254 women at high risk for healing problems, such as those who smoke, have diabet…

This study aims to understand how a single, high-dose radiation treatment affects the quality of life for people with inoperable lung tumors. Researchers will follow 190 patients who receive this one-session therapy, asking them to complete detailed questionnaires about their sym…

This study is testing a remote brain training program designed to help adults with specific types of brain tumors (grade 2 or 3 diffuse glioma) who are experiencing memory, attention, or thinking problems. The program combines online exercises with video calls with a specialist. …

This study aims to see if a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can improve sexual quality of life for women with breast cancer. It focuses on 25 women who continue to experience vaginal dryness and pain despite using standard moisturizers. Researchers will measu…

This study is testing whether a specific breathing technique, called cardiac coherence, can help reduce anxiety in patients with advanced abdominal cancer who are about to have major surgery. The program involves daily breathing exercises. Researchers will measure if patients can…

This study aims to improve sexual quality of life for breast cancer survivors by comparing two support approaches. Researchers will follow 264 patients who recently completed cancer treatment, offering either regular personalized sexual health support or support only when request…

This study is testing a program that combines physical therapy and yoga to help reduce pain in breast cancer patients who experience joint and muscle pain as a side effect of their hormone therapy. The program includes education so patients can practice yoga at home. Researchers …

This study is testing whether a gentle laser treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It will involve 70 cancer survivors who have had significant pain in their hands and feet for at least three months after finishing chemo. Partici…

This study is testing if surgeons can safely preserve a specific artery (the left colic artery) during surgery for colon, rectal, or ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if keeping this artery open provides better blood flow to the remaining colon, which could help it heal better a…

This study aims to understand what motivates or discourages older adults with cancer to stay physically active and eat well. Researchers will observe 55 participants aged 70+ to identify common motivational patterns. The goal is to use this information to design better, personali…

This study is creating a database of health information and blood samples from cancer patients receiving targeted radiation therapy. Researchers will collect data from 350 adults with thyroid, prostate, or neuroendocrine cancers to better understand how these treatments work and …

This study is testing whether patients with early-stage breast cancer can follow a special diet for about 9 days before their surgery. Researchers want to see if patients can stick to either a ketogenic (very low carb) or a protein-restricted diet. The main goal is to check if th…
