Protein Molecular Characteristics and Prognosis of Cervical Neuroendocrine Tumors
The clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 300 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors were collected, including age, preoperative biopsy pathology results, postoperative histopathological results, TCT results, and colposcopy biopsy pathology results. At the same time, paraffin tissue specimens (remaining specimens after pathological diagnosis) from 100 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors from multiple centers across the country were collected to establish a cervical neuroendocrine tumor data follow-up database. Protein concentration and omics analysis were performed on the data results, to evaluate the molecular characteristics and prognosis of cervical neuroendocrine tumor...

Proton Cranio-spinal Irradiation for Leptomeningeal Metastasis
Leptomeningeal metastasis is a rare but serious complication to cancer, with a grave prognosis. No efficient treatment exists. Recent data suggest that craniospinal radiotherapy lead to superior survival and CNS control compared to focal photon radiotherapy. We want to offer Danish patients the new treatment, but within a protocol, as this is new data with an new treatment principle

PrOton Pulsed reduCed dOse Rate Radiotherapy for Recurrent CNS maligNancies Trial
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific type of radiation therapy, called "proton pulsed reduced dose rate" or "PRDR radiotherapy" has any benefits at dose levels and number of fractions thought to be acceptable in earlier research studies. The researchers want to find out what effects (good and bad) PRDR has on people with cancer in the brain called a "recurrent high-grade glioma" meaning that it grows fast, can spread quickly, and it has come back or gotten worse after being treated previously.

Proton Therapy Research Infrastructure- ProTRAIT- Neuro-oncology
The first proton therapy treatments in the Netherlands have taken place in 2018. Due to the physical properties of protons, proton therapy has tremendous potential to reduce the radiation dose to the healthy, tumour-surrounding tissues. In turn, this leads to less radiation-induced complications, and a decrease in the formation of secondary tumours. The Netherlands has spearheaded the development of the model-based approach (MBA) for the selection of patients for proton therapy when applied to prevent radiation-induced complications. In MBA, a pre-treatment in-silico planning study is done, comparing proton and photon treatment plans in each individual patient, to determine (1)...

Proton Versus Photon Radiotherapy in Adults With Primary Brain Tumors
This study will be done in adults with brain tumors having good prognosis requiring treatment with radiotherapy. The current practice for brain radiotherapy involves treatment using X rays (photon radiotherapy). Proton beam therapy is a more advanced form of delivering radiation, which allows the reduction of the dose of radiation to the parts of the brain surrounding the tumor. After treatment with photon radiotherapy, certain late effects of radiation, like memory decline, hormonal deficits, hearing loss, and worsening of neurological function, can occur in some patients. From the evaluation of dose profiling, proton beam therapy has the potential to reduce the possibility of...

PRRT Versus PRRT Plus Chemotherapy in GEP NET (PReCedeNT Trial)
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), better defined as neoplasms (NENs), are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that range from well-differentiated tumours to more aggressive carcinomas. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with Lutetium-177 DOTATATE is the established standard of care for patients with well-differentiated metastatic or locally advanced GEP-NETs. It has demonstrated a significant improvement in outcomes compared to Octreotide LAR, both as a first-line and second-line treatment approach, following the results of NETTER-1 and NETTER-2 trials, respectively. ENETS guidelines recommend the use of Ga-68 labeled DOTANOC/TOC/TATAE imaging only for WHO Grade 1...

Psilocybin-assisted Existential, Attachment and RelationaL (PEARL) Therapy for Patients With Advanced Cancer
The PEARL Pilot is a phase II open-label trial. Participants will receive a single high-dose (25 mg) of psilocybin in the context of Psilocybin-assisted Existential, Attachment and RelationaL (PEARL) therapy.

Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy in Cancer Patients With Adjustment Disorder
This study is assessing the efficacy and safety of PEX010 in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of adjustment disorder due to cancer diagnosis. Who is it for? This study is for people who are aged between 18 and 80 years old and suffer from anxiety after adjusting to an acutely stressful event of their cancer diagnosis. This is called adjustment disorder. Study details Participants in this study will be randomly allocated by chance (similar to flipping a coin) to one of three groups: a 25mg PEX010 dose group, a 10 mg PEX010 dose group or a 1mg PEX010 dose group. Participants will be allocated a dose that will be administered during their psilocybin-assisted...

Psychological and Psychiatric prOfile in Glioblastoma and Head and Neck Cancer
Approximately 30% of cancer patients may experience psychopathological disorders. The most common psychopathological disorders in cancer patients are mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and suicidal ideation. Among depressive disorders, mixed depression, with the simultaneous presence of symptoms of both depressive and manic polarity, is associated to higher levels of chronicity, functional impairment and suicidality. These disorders can also be worsened by loneliness and demoralization. Patients with head and neck cancer (H&N-C) and Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have high psychological and sometimes psychiatric comorbidity probably due to the severity,...

Pyrotinib Combined With Capecitabine and Bevacizumab for Patients With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer and Brain Metastases
This study intends to conduct a small, prospective, single-center clinical study to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyrrotinib combined with capecitabine and bevacizumab in HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with brain metastases.The overall objective is to provide a new drug regimen for HER2 positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases by balancing survival benefits and patient quality of life.
