This study is testing whether a two-step treatment can better control pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Adults with locally advanced disease will first receive standard chemotherapy. If the cancer does not worsen, they will then receive a highly focused, high-d…

This study aims to monitor the safety and effectiveness of a precise radiation technique called SBRT for treating cancer that has spread to the spine. It will follow 100 adult patients with spinal metastases to track side effects and how well the treatment controls tumor growth. …

This study is looking at how well immunotherapy drugs work for people in Slovenia with advanced melanoma that has spread. It will follow 100 adults receiving these drugs as their first treatment. Researchers also want to see if measuring a specific protein (PD-L1) in the tumor or…

This study is testing how well immunotherapy works as a first treatment for people in Slovenia with advanced melanoma that has spread. It will follow 40 patients to see how their cancer responds and how long it stays under control. Researchers will also collect blood, stool, and …

This study is testing a short questionnaire to identify gastrointestinal cancer patients at risk for sarcopenia—a serious loss of muscle mass and strength. Researchers want to see how many patients screen positive for this risk before starting cancer treatment and again during tr…

This study aims to see if cancer cells and DNA found in the blood can help predict how well treatment works for aggressive, high-risk early breast cancer. Researchers will enroll 130 patients with inflammatory or triple-negative/HER2+ breast cancer. They will use blood tests to t…

This study aims to understand how often lymphoma patients experience memory and thinking problems during and after chemotherapy. Researchers will track patients' cognitive function over time using standard tests and analyze spinal fluid in some patients to look for biological mar…

This study aims to understand how colorectal cancer survivors feel and function in the years after their treatment ends. Researchers will follow 368 working-age survivors for up to 2 years, checking in at 6, 12, and 24 months. The goal is to identify common long-term side effects…

This study aims to better understand how much protein patients with severe intestinal failure need when they rely on intravenous nutrition at home. Researchers will measure how 40 patients' bodies process protein to help create more personalized nutrition formulas. The goal is to…

This study aims to understand how a local treatment called electrochemotherapy changes the environment inside and around melanoma skin tumors. Researchers will treat patients who have melanoma that has spread to the skin and take small tissue samples before and after treatment. B…

This study aims to find out how many people with stomach or intestinal cancers show early warning signs of muscle loss, known as sarcopenia. Researchers will screen 60 patients using a simple questionnaire before they start cancer treatment and again during treatment. Patients wh…
