This study tests a precise radiation technique called SBRT given after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to lower the chance of the cancer coming back in the same area. About 50 adults who had surgery and have high-risk features (like positive lymph nodes or close margin…

This study looks at whether a new screening method using PHI blood test and mp-MRI scans can find prostate cancer earlier in men with DNA repair gene (DRG) mutations. Current screening often misses aggressive cancers in these men. The goal is to catch more cancers early, when the…

This study looks at 266 adults with advanced rectal cancer to compare how often serious complications happen within 90 days after surgery, depending on the type of treatment they received before surgery. Some patients got standard chemoradiation or short-course radiation, while o…

This study watches 60 adults having open pancreatic surgery to see if low blood pressure during the operation is linked to higher lactate levels right after surgery. Lactate is a sign of how well tissues are getting oxygen. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors man…

This study follows 250 adults with inherited forms of pulmonary fibrosis to see how their genes influence the speed of lung decline. Participants undergo regular breathing tests and genetic analysis, but no new treatments are tested. The goal is to better understand why some peop…

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence can predict how well head and neck cancer patients will respond to radiation therapy and whether they will have side effects. Researchers will use scans (CT, MRI, PET) to extract features and build machine learning models. The…

This study aims to create and validate an Italian version of the ICU Mobility Scale, a tool that measures how well patients in intensive care can move. Researchers will enroll 100 adults to test the scale's accuracy and reliability. The goal is to help doctors and nurses better a…
