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.

Prospective Neurobehavioral Functions in Newly-diagnosed Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma Treated With Hyperfractionated Conformal Whole-brain Radiation Therapy Plus Simultaneous Integrated Boost
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon disease. Conventional treatment has consisted of either whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) or methotrexate (MTX)-based combined modality therapy integrating chemotherapy with cranial irradiation in a sandwiched manner. No matter whether the dosage of MTX is high or conventional, combining chemotherapy with WBRT greatly improves intracranial tumor control and even survival outcomes. However, delayed treatment-related neurotoxicity and neurocognitive sequelae emerged as a significant debilitating complication in PCNSL patients, especially when effective combined...

Prospective Neurobehavioral Outcomes Follow-up in Primary CNS Lymphoma Patients Treated With Cranial Radiotherapy Combined With or Without MTX-based Chemotherapy According to the Multidisciplinary Treatment Guidelines Implemented at a Single Institute
Background. Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon disease. Conventional treatment has consisted of either whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or methotrexate (MTX)-based combined modality therapy combining chemotherapy and cranial irradiation. The treatment principles at our institute have been quite consistent in the past, sticking to the treatment protocol reported by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1990s. No matter what the dosage of MTX is, it is well-established that the addition of chemotherapy to cranial RT significantly improved survival outcomes. However, it was found that delayed...

Prospective Study of Clinically Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas
This project is the first comprehensive prospective study of clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas (CNFAs). Two groups of subjects will be studied: Group I will consist of 100 patients with clinically non-functioning (CNF) pituitary lesions who are asymptomatic and do not require surgery; Group II will consist of 250 patients who have pituitary lesions that are symptomatic and require surgery. Patients will be followed with a series of endocrine laboratory testing, physical examinations, testing of quality of life and neurocognitive function before and serially over time either during non-surgical management or after surgery ...

Prospective Surgical Study on the Pattern of Electrical Activity in High Grade Glioma as a Predictor of Progression
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of recording brain activity within and around high-grade glioma tumors at the time of surgery. A small biopsy will be taken at the sites of the recordings.

Protective VEGF Inhibition for Isotoxic Dose Escalation in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor and often recurs locally despite intensive treatment. Standard chemoradiotherapy with 60 Gy may not be sufficient to control the tumor, and dose escalation seems to be warranted, but causes more toxicity. To address this, the multicentric PRIDE trial employs two cycles of bevacizumab to achieve dose escalation isotoxically. The goal is improved survival without significantly increasing side effects. The study uses a simultaneous integrated boost with a total dose of 75 Gy in 2.5 Gy per fraction.

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...

Protocol ITANET - Registry
This is a prospective observational study with the aim to create an Italian database for the collection of data on diagnostic approach, therapy and follow up of patients affected by GEP-NET (gastro-enteric-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours). Data for approximately 200 italian patients were already previously collected in the ENETS database (international database). ENETS decided to interrupt the collection of the data for an indefinite period. For this reason, through an amendment (number 1) to the protocol, ITANET (Italian Association Neuro-endocrine Tumors) decided to transfer the italian data into a national database and to go on...

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
