Combination Therapy of Antibody Hu3F8 With Granulocyte- Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory High-Risk Neuroblastoma
The purpose of this study is to find out if an antibody called Humanized 3F8 (Hu3F8) combined with granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is safe for treating neuroblastoma.

Communicating With Patients on Cancer Resistance to Treatment: the Development of a Communication Tool. (HECTOR)
Resistance to treatment is one of the major themes in cancer research. Despite this, the definition and clinical implications of resistance to treatment remain under-explored, and patient-physician communication in this context still constitutes a challenge. When resistance to cancer treatments occurs, physicians not only have to explain to the patient the phenomenon of resistance, often based on complex results (biological results, genomic tests, imaging, etc.), but also need to offer alternative therapies, whilst fostering shared medical decision-making. These different tasks are particularly challenging for clinicians, especially since there are large individual differences...

Comparing Capecitabine and Temozolomide in Combination to Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
This phase II trial compares capecitabine and temozolomide to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced) or are not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. The purpose of this study is to find out whether capecitabine and temozolomide or...

Comparing SLNE With or Without Preoperative Hybrid SPECT/CT in Melanoma
Melanoma has become a growing interdisciplinary problem in public health worldwide. It characteristically disseminates in an orderly progression through lymphatic channels to the regional lymph node and then to more distant sites. Sentinel lymph node excision (SLNE) is probably the most important diagnostic and potentially therapeutic procedure for melanoma patients. This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, superiority, 2-parallel arms trial comparing sentinel lymph node excision with or without preoperative hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in patients with malignant melanoma.

Comparison of High-dose IL-2 and High-dose IL-2 With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma.
The purpose of this study is compare the response rates in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with high-dose IL-2 to patients treated with high-dose IL-2 along with radiation therapy.

Comparison of Opioid Consumption During TCI Guided by NOL Index or Standard Care Undergoing Intracranial Tumor Surgery
In this prospective, randomized controlled study, we hypothesized that nociception level index monitoring reduced opioid administration during surgery. The secondary goals are to compare the total dose hypnotic drugs, as well as hemodynamic parameters, and to investigate the relationship between changes in the NOL index and HR change following severe noxious stimuli during effect site TCI of propofol and remifentanil in patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery who are monitored using either standard monitors or the NOL monitor additionally.

Complications and Recurrences After Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Slow Mohs
Mohs micro-graphic surgery (Mohs) is a tissue-sparing, surgical treatment for different types of skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna (melanoma). It is a procedure performed with frozen sections. Slow Mohs, a variant of micro-graphic surgery, is performed by formalin fixation and paraffin-embedded sections. Both in Mohs and Slow Mohs tumor margins are assessed to achieve complete removal. This study aims to investigate the clinical presentation and outcomes (i.e. complications and recurrence rates) in patients treated with Mohs or Slow Mohs in the dermatology department of the Maastricht University Medical Center+ in Maastricht, the...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Tumor Oxygenation, Metabolism and Blood Supply of High Grade Glioma and Cervical Cancers Using Dynamic FAZA PET and Multiparametric MR
Primary Objectives To investigate the relationship between dynamic MRI, brain tumor perfusion (DSC) and permeability (DCE), and dynamic 18F-FAZA PET uptake. Secondary Objectives To investigate the relationship between tumors with greater hypoxia defined by qBOLD and 18F-FAZA PET and pathological features including proportionate necrosis, Ki-67 and IDH mutation status To investigate the correlation between the hypoxic tumor region delineated using 18F-FAZA PET and qBOLD

Computer Training Program for Younger Patients With a Brain Tumor Who Underwent Radiation Therapy
This randomized clinical trial studies how well an adaptive computerized cognitive training program works compared to a non-adaptive computerized cognitive training program in treating younger patients with brain tumor who underwent radiation therapy. Providing a computer training program may improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with cognitive (physical and mental) function difficulties caused by radiation therapy to the brain.
