Project: Every Child for Younger Patients With Cancer
This study gathers health information for the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

Project MILANO: Connections Between Patients With Brain Tumors and Their Pets: an Analysis of Concerns and Needs
Context and problem In France, 61% of households own a pet, highlighting the significant role pets play in the daily lives. Patients diagnosed with brain tumors face specific challenges that may affect their ability to care their pets, including: - Progressive neurological deficits (cognitive and/or motor), limiting their autonomy, - A life-threatening prognosis. In this context, the well-being of pets when their owner's health deteriorates becomes a critical concern. Indeed: - Social isolation and the progressive loss of physical and cognitive abilities complicate pet care, particularly during prolonged hospitalizations or in the event of death, ...

Prophylactic Cholecystectomy in Midgut NETs Patients Who Require Primary Tumor Surgery.
The investigators want to study the effectiveness of prophylactic cholecystectomy in patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor (jejunum, ileum or proximal colon) who require primary tumor surgery. When patients are diagnosed and are tributary to surgical treatment, the tumor might compromise vascularization, and patients need an extensive bowel resection. The patients might also receive medical treatment with somatostatin analogs. The combination of extensive bowel resection and medical treatment might increase gallbladder stones, but patients might not develop biliary stone disease, as in the general population, where 20% of the population have gallbladder stones but only a 10 to...

Prophylactic Oral Antibiotics on Sinonasal Outcomes Following Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery for Pituitary Lesions
To find out whether oral antibiotics given after transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery for pituitary adenoma improves sinus and nasal symptoms, reduces the incidence of infection (sinusitis), and helps mucosal healing in the nasal passages.

Prospective Cohort of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma: Analysis of MMP2 and MMP9 Expression and Correlation to Neuro-imaging Features.
Glioblastoma is the most frequent and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. A team recently showed that baseline plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) were correlated to bevacizumab activity in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. To date, the biological rationale of this results remains unknown but MMP2 could be involved in classical angiogenesis while MMP9 could promote vasculogenesis. The objectives are to correlate the plasma levels of MMP2 and MMP9 to their Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein tissue expression, activity and to patient neuro-imaging features. To analyze the changes of MMP2 and MMP9 plasma levels during...

Prospective Comprehensive Molecular Analysis of Endocrine Neoplasms
Background: - Endocrine neoplasms (tumors) are among the fastest growing tumors in incidence in the United States. Furthermore, it is often difficult to distinguish between benign or malignant tumors in cancers of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, and pancreas. More research is needed to improve detection and treatment options for patients who develop these kinds of cancer. - Researchers are interested in studying the molecular changes that are involved in endocrine cancer development and growth. To collect a sample of tumor specimens and healthy tissue for further study, researchers are specifically looking for samples from...

Prospective Data Registry and Quality of Life Assessment of Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy With the RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to assess clinical and quality of life measures as well as to define the severity of adverse effects for the use of the RefleXion system to deliver intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), or SCINTIX Biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) in standard of care (SOC) use in the treatment of local,loco-regionally advanced, and oligometastatic malignancies. In addition, patient costs and charges will be analyzed to quantify the health economic impact of this modality. Workflow and quality of radiotherapy planning including a collection of dosimetric data will also be analyzed.

Prospective Evaluation Of High-Dose Systemic Methotrexate In Patients With Breast Cancer And Leptomeningeal Metastasis
Management of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) in patients with metastatic breast cancer is an area of unmet clinical need. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is known to have activity against breast cancer and in contrast to other systemic chemotherapeutics, it penetrates the blood brain barrier, targets areas of poor cerebrospinal fluid flow, may penetrate bulky leptomeningeal disease, and provide treatment to systemic disease burden. While two retrospective studies have suggested activity of HD-MTX in LMD in patients with breast cancer, no prospective data are available to inform its inclusion in treatment regimens. Thus, while HD-MTX is included in the NCCN Guidelines for LMD and...

Prospective Evaluation of Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Previously Irradiated Tumors
The goal of this clinical research trial is to study the use of differing investigational doses and scheduling for Proton Therapy for tumors previously treated with radiation therapy. Generally, when patients are first treated for cancer with radiation therapy, they are treated with traditional photon (or x-ray) radiation therapy, which uses high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. In some cases, the cancer either returns or a new tumor can present in a different part of the body. With the usual radiation treatment, the photon beams travel all the way through the body. As a result, healthy tissues in front of and behind the tumor are exposed to radiation. Physicians who treat these...

Prospective Melanoma Database
In research on melanoma, translational research is the essential link between basic research and clinical research by facilitating the passage between discovery and improvement in the quality of patients care.That is the reason why it is very important to collect, and centralize clinical and biological data of patients with melanoma. The aim of the project is to provide to scientific community a structured, mixed clinical and biological database, unique in France, in order to insure accessibility to clinical data.
