This study looked at 215 breast cancer patients who had chemotherapy. It compared the usual vitamin D supplement dose with a dose adjusted to each patient's vitamin D level. The goal was to see which approach better normalizes vitamin D levels after 6 months.

This study tested a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, trastuzumab, and erlotinib) as a first treatment for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has spread. The goal was to see if the combo could control the disease and shrink tumors. 63 patients took part, receivi…

This study tested whether adding cetuximab (a targeted antibody) to a strong chemotherapy cocktail (FOLFIRINOX) could shrink tumors better in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that had spread and could not be removed by surgery. 42 patients received the combination as thei…

This early-phase study tested a combination of two treatments—regorafenib and FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy—in 13 people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific gene change (RAS mutation). The main goal was to see if the combination is safe and tolerable. Researchers also l…

This study tested whether more intense chemotherapy could help people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be fully removed by surgery. 124 adults received either standard two-drug chemo or one of three stronger three-drug combinations. The goal was to s…

This study tested whether adding the drug sorafenib to irinotecan helps control advanced colorectal cancer in people whose tumors have a KRAS mutation and who have already tried all standard treatments. 173 adults took part. The goal was to see if the combination slowed cancer gr…

This study tested a combination of the targeted drug regorafenib and chemotherapy (mGEMOX) in 66 people with advanced biliary tract cancer that could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combo helps control the cancer. The trial focused o…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, sorafenib and irinotecan, in 64 adults with advanced colorectal cancer that had a specific gene change called K-RAS. The goal was to see if the combination could control the cancer after other treatments had stopped working. The study…

This study tested whether a yoga program done at home and in class is practical for breast cancer patients on hormone therapy who have joint pain. 24 women participated, doing yoga poses daily and attending 6 sessions with a physical therapist. The goal was to see if they would s…

This study looked at whether using e-health tools—like a smartphone app or a phone call from a nurse—can help women manage pain and anxiety after a breast biopsy. About 193 women took part. The goal was to see if these tools improve care compared to standard follow-up, especially…

This study tested a relaxation program combining guided breathing (cardiac coherence) with a hypnosis session to help women with breast or gynecologic cancer feel less anxious before surgery. 53 women participated, and the program aimed to improve their recovery by reducing stres…

This study looked at whether a simple blood test can predict which patients are more likely to have long-term side effects from radiation therapy. Researchers measured how well certain immune cells (CD8 T-cells) die after being exposed to radiation. The goal was to see if this te…

This study looked at how quality of life and thinking skills change in people with a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) who are receiving chemotherapy. Researchers followed 26 patients for a year, checking their well-being and mental function. The goal was to better unde…

This study looked at memory complaints in 426 people, including those with brain tumors, breast cancer, and healthy volunteers. Researchers focused on 'prospective memory'—remembering to do things in the future, like taking medication. They found that cancer patients reported mor…

This study looked for better ways to detect when breast cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord, a condition called leptomeningeal metastases. Researchers collected spinal fluid from 51 patients with suspected spread and compared a new blood-based detection meth…

This study analyzed tumor and blood samples from 160 people with esophageal or rectal cancer to find genetic markers that predict how well they respond to chemoradiotherapy given before surgery. The goal was to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from this treatmen…

This study looked at how calcium and vitamin levels change in women receiving chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery. 146 patients were followed over 6 treatment cycles. The main goal was to see how often high calcium in urine occurs. This helps doctors better manage side effec…
