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…
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.
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…
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…
To evaluate the sensitivity of second-look endoscopic biopsies from the polypectomy site for residual adenocarcinoma in the surgical resection specimen.To register patients in whom exclusion criteria exist, in order to prospectively evaluate the…
To evaluate whether blood CC12gene expression defines disease status (Stage I-IV, stable or progressive) and whether the blood CC12gene expression predicts response to therapeutic intervention.
1. Evaluate the feasibility of ESS for detection of field cancerization in BE patients. 2. Investigate the biological background of field cancerization by studying: a) (ultra)structural changes in the tissue and b) genetic abnormalities and clonal…
Primary Objective: Visualization and quantification of tumor hypoxia with [18F] HX4 PET imagingSecondary Objectives: - Correlation of [18F] HX4 with local tumor recurrence and survival- Correlation of hypoxia imaging with blood hypoxia markers -…
The main objective of this study is to determine the most suitable diagnostic test to identify cardiopulmonary (dys)function in EC survivors treated with neo-CRT followed by surgical resection. Furthermore, we want to estimate the difference in…
The aim of this study is to compare the image quality, diagnostic confidence and patient discomfort when using either positive (50 ml Télébrix Gastro + 950 ml water ) or negative 1000 ml water only in outpatients undergoing a contrast-enhanced…
Primary objective: To study the faesibility of SLNM in patients with histological proven colon cancer using NIR-laparoscopy.Secondary objectives: To study the incidence of micrometastasis with the use of ICG and RT-PCRTo determine the number of…
Implementation of a biobank infrastructure to facilitate development and improvement of screening markers for colorectal neoplasia. New biomarkers will be compared to state of the art tests, e.g. currently FIT.
Comparing differentiation and detection of neoplasia in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing surveillance, by ETMI and CE, in a randomised trial.
Our primary objective is to study the effect of perioperative intravenous supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids on the perioperative inflammatory response compared to a saline control in patients undergoing surgery for colon cancer.
We aim to test the hypothesis that EndoCuff improves totaal number of adenomas detected and ADR compared with regular colonoscopy. In other words, we'll study if the Endocuff colonoscopy detects more polyps.
The primary objectives are to determine the diagnostic performance of gadofosveset-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging for the discrimination between pN0 and pN+ patients for both primary staging and restaging after chemoradiotherapy and to determine…
In patients undergoing surveillance endoscopy for Barrett's oesophagus or work-up and treatment for early neoplasia in Barrett's oesophagus we will evaluate the N-Vision pVLE system for the following items: 1) Correlating the VLE images…
