This study tests whether a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) can reduce wound complications like infection, reopening, or slow healing after complex breast cancer surgery with reconstruction. About 254 women with risk factors like obesity or smoking will be rand…

This phase 2 trial tests a two-step approach for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. First, patients receive two powerful chemotherapy regimens in sequence (GEMBRAX then FOLFIRINOX). Then, those whose cancer does not worsen get MRI-gu…

This study aims to personalize breast radiotherapy by matching each patient's treatment to their individual risk of cancer returning and their risk of side effects. Researchers will enroll 854 women with invasive breast cancer who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to see …

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 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 is testing a blood test called NovaGray RILA Breast® to see if it can predict severe capsular contracture (hardening and tightening of scar tissue around a breast implant) after radiotherapy. Researchers will enroll 250 breast cancer patients who have had a mastectomy …

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

This study tests whether a program combining physical therapy, yoga, and patient education can reduce joint and muscle pain caused by hormone therapy in breast cancer patients. About 108 women with non-metastatic breast cancer and moderate-to-severe pain will be randomly assigned…

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 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 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 is testing whether women with early-stage luminal breast cancer can follow a special diet (ketogenic or protein-restricted) for about 9 days before their surgery. The main goal is to see if patients can stick to the diet. Researchers will also look at how the diet affe…
