The aim of this study is to explore the added value of the indol profile in comparison to serotonin in platelets and 5-HIAA in urine for diagnosis and potentially management of neuroendocrine tumors including gastrinomas, pNETs and brochopulmonary…
1) Evaluating the effect and recovery of glioma surgery in eloquent areas on cognitive functioning.2) Examining the effec tof glioma surgery in eloquent areas on quality of life.3) Examining the effect of gliomas in eloquent areas on the…
The primary objective is to evaluate possible clinical effects correlated with α3β1 and CD151 expression in human epidermal malignancies, and relate these findings to the effects of α3β1 and CD151 deficiencies in skin cancer in the mouse.…
Primary objective: To compare the cancer detection rate of CEUS targeted biopsies with the cancer detection rate of mpMRI targeted and systematic biopsies. Secondary objective: To characterize the tumors detected by the different biopsy schemes in…
In order to confirm previous observations and to increase our understanding of the patho-physiologic mechanism of the plasma lipid changes; in this study, we will prospectively measure the blood lipid profile of approx. 120 malaria patients and an…
Primary objective: • Investigate the signature of recurrent prostate cancer and of radiation effects after external-beam radiotherapy on multi-parametric MRISecondary objective: • Identify imaging features that are characteristic of recurrent…
Primary Objective: To assess whether both OCT (optical coherence tomography) and/or HSI (hyperspectral imaging) detect differences in glioma tissue as compared to healthy tissue as examined during brain-surgery.Secondary Objective(s): To assess if…
To investigate the feasibility and utility of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for intraoperative perfusion assessment in patients undergoing gastro-intestinal surgery, primarily measured by the number of intraoperative changes in operation…
The primary objective of this study is to explore the PSA response rate to cabazitaxel in mCRPC patients who have progressed to docetaxel and to correlate the PSA response to AR-V7 expression in CTCs. Exploratory objectives include documenting the…
The objective of this study is to improve the treatment of prostate cancer. By more accurately diagnosing both clinically significant and insignificant prostate cancer, treatment strategies will improve. This accounts for active treatment like…
To assess whether the use of RFIB instead of LCNB increases the probability of a definitive preoperative histological diagnosis in women with suspicious mammographic breast lesions. assess the *RFIB success rate*, defined as the proportion of…
The aim of this research is developing a non-invasive a method of early detection of CIS using scrotal ultrasound and semen diagnostic on CIS-cells. The results of this research will be used for the set-up of a screening study of CIS at men with an…
The objective of the study is to identify potential platelet-derived angiogenic and angiostatic tumorbiomarkers. Initially platelet proteomics will be used to detect potential tumormarkers. Subsequently, these potential tumorbiomarkers will be…
To determine the clinical effectiveness of adjuvant therapy given to all unstaged (no lymph node dissection) high risk stage 1 endometrial cancer, compared with only node positive (staged) cases as judged by full lymph node dissection.
To explore the role of 4D PET-CT in radiation treatment planning, relative to standard 3D PET-CT.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of a blood cell derived score, ICIS, for microbial infection, its likelihood, its invasiveness (blood stream infection) and severity (septic shock or mortality) in patients after lung or…
Primary objective:Determing the positive predictive value and diagnostic yield of HD+ i-scan bronchoscopy for vascular pattern detection .Secondary objectives:1. To investigate the correlation of vascular abnormalities with histology2. To…
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
Main objective is to investigate whether the use of a modified CellSearch enrichment for the enumeration of pleural effusion tumor cells (PTCs) is able to increase sensitivity of pleural effusion evaluation in MPM, as compared to standard…
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the pre-operative contrast enhanced CT scan can be used for determination of the pre-operative tumour localisation, with the aim of increasing the accuracy of the boost area. If so, the boost…
