The purpose of this research study is to monitor how well patients with fatty liver disease can follow clinician-recommended diet and exercise before their liver surgery. Our goal is to understand patient adherence to weight-related goals, weight loss, physical activity, and improved liver health. You are being asked to be in the study because you are a patient with fatty liver disease planning to have liver surgery.
Compare the outcomes of dinutuximab given early with Induction therapy to the effects of standard Induction therapy with the addition of dinutuximab later in therapy in people with high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNBL) to find out which is better.
The expected outcome of this proposal is a novel care pathway delivered by pharmacists to improve side effects during oral chemotherapy for patients, a known barrier to adherence, and ultimately to prevent progression and early mortality. Our long-term goal for P3OC is to develop and test new dashboard features to optimize pharmacy care and meet future needs for value-based payment models
Purpose: to establish a Registry of pediatric patients treated with proton radiation therapy. Participants: Patients who are less than or equal to 21 years old at time of treatment start and treated with radiation therapy at one of the participating centers. Procedures (methods): This Proton and Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR) enrolls children treated with radiation therapy to form an expansive description of the pediatric population that receives protons and to better catalogue the benefits of protons, in this cohort. The data will also be used to evaluate practice differences and help facilitate collaborative research across the various radiation centers. The PPCR collects an expanded set of demographic and clinical data that will enhance the practice data that many participating radiation centers already collect in their routine operations. The PPCR has been expanded to include a photon-treated control group, helping to facilitate comparative effectiveness analysis.
Colontown is an online community of more than 100 private Facebook groups for colorectal cancer patients, survivors, and care partners. The purpose of this study is document and analyze Colontown members' engagement practices and perceptions of patient empowerment, to determine how online communities can support patients and caregivers in CRC management.
The main objective is to glean stakeholders' perspectives about implementing and disseminating an intervention for Black women with breast cancer and their female support people into clinical care.
Using carefully constructed case vignettes and a survey of oncology providers across a spectrum of settings, we sought to characterize early trends in internalization of the girentuximab PET-CT into care.
This study will investigate how mechanical properties of breast tissue, such as stiffness, viscosity, and anisotropy, are related to breast tumor malignancy and response to chemotherapy. The study uses ultrasound imaging to measure these mechanical properties non-invasively in human subjects.
The aim of this study for low and standard risk germ cell tumor (GCT) patients is to minimize toxicity by reducing therapy while maintaining current survival rates. The trial will eliminate chemotherapy for low risk patients who are likely cured with surgery and will observe the salvage rates among those who recur.
