High-Dose Gemcitabine, Busulfan, and Thiotepa Followed by ASCT in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
The goal of this single-arm, prospective study is to learn if high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa with autologous stem cell transplantation to treat primary or relapse central nervous system lymphomas. It will learn about the safety and efficacy of combination therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: Efficacy and safety of the combination of high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa as a bridging therapy to ASCT in patients with CNSL. Participants will: Take gemcitabine (2.5 g/m²) was administered intravenously (IV) on Days -9 and -3, Busulfan (3.2 mg/kg) was given IV over 3 hours on Days -9 to -7, and thiotepa (5 mg/kg) was administered IV on Days -5,...

High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for the Treatment of Both Primary and Secondary Unresectable Liver Malignancies
Over the past three decades, the treatment of both primary and secondary liver malignancies has been improved by the development and optimization of multiple minimally invasive thermal ablative therapies. These advances have resulted in a myriad of benefits for patients including decreased morbidity, mortality, as well as increased longevity and quality of life. However, these therapies can only be performed within certain parameters. Thermal ablative techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MVA) are recommended for small lesions under 3 cm due to decreased efficacy when attempting to treat larger lesions. Additionally, large vessels in...

High-dose Topotecan for Retinoblastoma With Recurrent or Refractory Vitreous Seed
Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in infancy and childhood,with an estimated 8000 new cases globally each year.The major cause of failure in the management of retinoblastoma remains the persistence or recurrence of resistant vitreous seeding.Currently,with the emergence of new administration routes, intravitreal chemotherapy has been used for vitreous seeds and the rate of eye preservation has been effectively improved. However, the use of high doses of chemotherapeutic agents may lead to visual impairments due to long term retinal toxicity and some tumors recur or become resistant to chemotherapeutic agents after treatment. In such cases, ocular resection...

High-Intensity Interval Exercise in Young Adult Survivors of Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Pilot Feasibility Study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 16-week virtual, home-based, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program will improve physical, cognitive, and emotional health among young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are/is: - High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

High-resolution PET-CT Specimen Imaging for the Perioperative Visualization of Resection Margins
These are patients in whom a benign or malignant tumor was recorded requiring surgery. During that surgery, the surgeon will cut away the tumor as part of the treatment of the disease. In this process, it is important that the tumor is removed correctly and completely. To verify that the correct tissue was completely removed, the tissue is examined microscopically. However, a microscopic analysis takes a relatively long time and the result is not known until a few days after the surgery is completed. If that microscopic analysis should eventually reveal that the tumor was not completely removed, additional treatment is usually necessary. An assessment of the excised tissue...

High Risk Neuroblastoma Study 1.8 of SIOP-Europe (SIOPEN)
This is a randomized study of the European SIOP Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) in high-risk neuroblastoma (stages 2, 3, 4 and 4s MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma, stage 4 MYCN non amplified > 12 months at diagnosis). The protocol consists of a rapid, dose intensive induction chemotherapy, peripheral blood stem cell harvest, attempted complete excision of the primary tumour, myeloablative therapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue, radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour and immunotherapy (R4 randomization - isotretinoin and ch14.18/CHO (Dinutuximab beta, Qarziba ®).), with or without s.c. aldesleukin (IL-2)). Patients diagnosed after the closure of R3 randomization...

Hippocampal Avoidance in Craniospinal Irradiation for the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Metastases From Breast Cancer or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase II clinical trial studies how well craniospinal irradiation (CSI) with hippocampal avoidance, using proton therapy or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), works in treating patients with breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and meninges (thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord) (leptomeningeal metastases). Radiation therapy is an effective treatment in relieving localized symptoms caused by leptomeningeal metastases. However, the type of radiation therapy typically used does not prevent the spread of leptomeningeal disease. CSI (radiation...

Hippocampal-Sparing Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation in Pathologically Nodal Positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Background. During the clinical course of patients with locoregionally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who have undergone aggressive treatment, brain metastasis (BM) is a frequent seen pattern of disease relapse, which cannot be ignored. It still remains unresolved whether prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) via whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) should be recommended for NSCLC patients with stage III or pathologically nodal positive disease. Actually, PCI would significantly decrease the incidence of BM; however, potential WBRT-related neurocognitive function (NCF) sequelae are indeed a concern, which has made PCI seldom applied in clinical practice. In terms...
