Pancreatic Cancer Screening Through the Detection of Elastase-1 Combined With Other Examinations
This is a prospective cohort study. The investigators enroll subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), individuals at high risk for PDAC, patients with other pancreatic diseases, patients with CA19-9 elevation and controls without pancreatic disease. This study aims to establish a diagnostic prediction model by using elastase 1, common clinical serological examinations, and imaging examinations including endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and to explore the diagnostic ability of the model in the high-risk population of PDAC. Besides, the investigators search for new biomarkers by multi-omics studies of serum and pancreatic tissues to further improve the...

Pancreatic Radiofrequency Under High Echo-endoscopy in the Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Pancreatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could therefore be an alternative to the monitoring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and more particularly nonfunctioning PNETs (NF-PNETs), which is costly and anxiety-inducing for patients. To date, only a few small studies have evaluated this treatment and the results are encouraging. It appears necessary to consider a large-scale study to ensure the efficacy and low morbidity of pancreatic RFA applied to PNETs.

Panitumumab-IRDye800 in Diagnosing Participants With Malignant Glioma Undergoing Surgery
The phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 in diagnosing participants with malignant glioma who undergo surgery. Panitumumab-IRDye800 can attach to tumor cells and make them more visible using a special camera during surgery, which may help surgeons better distinguish tumor cells from normal brain tissue and identify small tumors that cannot be seen using current imaging methods.

PARP Inhibitor With 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate PRRT in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumours
This phase 1 dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of talazoparib in combination with 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic pancreatic or midgut neuroendocrine tumour (NET).

Patient and Caregiver Priorities in Neuro-oncology Care
This study is being done to identify patient and caregiver burdens regarding their experience with diagnosis and treatment of CNS tumors. These results will help doctors find areas where patients and caregivers may need more support.

Patient Decision Aid in Supporting Decision-Making About When to Start or Stop New Drugs, Join Clinical Trials, or Continue Active Surveillance in Patients With Medullary Thyroid Cancer and Their Caregivers
This trial develops and studies how well a patient decision aid works in supporting decision-making about when to start or stop new drugs, join clinical trials, or continue active cancer monitoring for patients with medullary thyroid cancer and their caregivers. Developing a patient decision aid may help patients with medullary thyroid cancer make well-informed decisions about their cancer care and be able to discuss their preferences with their doctors.

Patient Perceptions Around Quality of Care Through Telemedicine in Neuro-Oncology
This study evaluates patient perceptions around quality of care through telemedicine in neuro-oncology. Studying questionnaires related to perceptions quality of care through telemedicine in patients with brain cancer may help doctors to improve the delivery of care through this modality.

Patient-reported Outcomes in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: a Prospective Quality of Life and Quality of Care Study Within NETwerk
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare tumors that require specific diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, this poses a challenge for clinical practice. Diagnosis and treatment can be optimized when physician specialists and other healthcare providers, across various hospitals, join forces to provide patients the best care. Based on this idea, a hospital network called NETwerk was set up. The following hospitals are part of this network: University Hospital Antwerp, VITAZ, AZ Monica, AZ Voorkempen, AZ Klina, Gasthuiszusters Antwerpen, Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen and AZ Rivierenland. In this NETwerk, patients with a neuroendocrine tumor or patients suspected with a neuroendocrine tumor...

PatientSpot Formerly Known as ArthritisPower
Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health...
