The aim of this present diagnostic study is to determine the accuracy by which we can detect residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Optimizing (breathing) techniques for radiotherapy of esophageal and lung carcinomas; a pilot study.
Primary objective: To determine the optimal breathing technique to minimize the dose to the heart of radiotherapy for esophageal and lung cancer using current photon techniques, without compromising the dose to the lungs. Secondary Objectives: 1. To…
To evaluate the detection ctDNA in patients with PC of colorectal origin undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC at time of diagnosis in a feasibility trial This study is considered feasible:1. If in at least 70% of the patients ctDNA status…
We aim to gain insight into the incidence and severity of CIPN and its influence on patient-reported outcomes (i.e. health related quality of life (HRQoL), disease-specific complaints, depression, fatigue, sleep problems) among a prospective…
Currently, only few publications exist which describe MRI for esophageal cancer. Therefore, the objective of the study is to develop a MRI protocol for imaging of this organ. The research will particularly be focussed on functional MRI. Those scans…
To compare the performance and diagnostic accuracy of two EUS-guided tissue acquisition devices; a 25G Echotip Ultra Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) device and a new, more flexible, 20G Echotip ProCore Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) device.
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the self-sizing RFA ballon for eradication of Barrett's mucosa with low-grade, high-grade and early neoplasia
The study will collect data related to symptoms of recurrent biliary stent obstruction requiring reintervention, adverse events, and a variety of important secondary endpoints including technical success and time to symptomatic recurrent biliary…
To investigate whether the extent to which patients adhere to the Dutch dietary guidelines improves more in out clinic patients, with a positive iFOBT, who receive dietary and physical activity advice by the Eetscore during 3 months, than in out…
The objective of the LEOPARD-2 trial is to assess the safety of MIPD versus OPD and after that to assess the time to functional recovery of MIPD versus OPD for symptomatic benign, premalignant or malignant peri-ampullary disease.
The objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib 12 mg/kg/day to sinutinib 50 mg/day
Safety and efficacy objectives:The objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of masitinib at 6 of 7.5 mg/kg/day to imatinib at 400 or 600 mg, in patients with gastro-intestinal stromal tumour in first line medical treatment.
To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel node navigation surgery in patients with early esophageal carcinoma.
We study whether addition of a radiation boost to standard chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer increases the complete response rate defined as pathological complete response in those who undergo surgery, or 2-years local…
Part 1 1. Determine if accumulation of the fluorescent tracer bevacizumab-800CW can be detected for identification of pancreatic cancer tissue during surgery.2. Identify two doses of conjugate that provide the best visualization of tumor tissue…
We study the efficacy of the retractor sponge in laparoscopic colorectal surgery to reduce hospital stay in patients operated for a malignancy. Secondary objectives are duration of surgery, blood-loss,use of diuretics as volume therapy (during…
