The aim is to study safety and activity of nelfinavir, added to standard chemoradiotherapy (26x1.8 Gy and capecitabine 825 mg/m2 BID) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Furthermore analysis of the effect of nelfinavir combined with…
1.What are ulcerative colitis patients* understanding of their risk of colon cancer and the benefit of colonoscopy?2. What is ulcerative colitis patients* threshold of cancer risk before accepting colectomy in the setting of dysplasia?3. What are…
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a combination of preoperative chemoradiation of Paclitaxel 50mg/m2 and Carboplatin AUC 2 given intravenously on day 1, 8,15, 22 and 29 in combination with 45 Gy (fractions of 1.8Gy) for locally…
The present study aims to investigate genetic factors that contribute to the development of BE.
The aim of this study is to prospectively assess the occurrence of extra-intestinal manifestations in patients with MAP.
It seems logical that when the same treatment is applied before surgery, that patients will tolerate this easier. Analogous to rectal cancer it is assumed that by reducing tumor size, surgical outcome can be improved. In this preoperative approach,…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and feasibility of the combination of everolimus and capecitabine in a group of patients with metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Primary objective of the study is the assessment of the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of capecitabine and mitomycin-C with concomitant SIBRT in patients with locally advanced anal carcinoma.Secondary objectives…
To prospectively evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of surveillance of individuals at high-risk for developing pancreatic cancer, in order to detect non-symptomatic (early) neoplastic lesions at a stage when curative resection is still…
Primary objective• To validate the potential of Vasovist®-enhanced MRI for accurate prediction of nodal status in patients with primary rectal cancer using histopathological examination after surgery as the SOR.Secondary objectives• To compare the…
To determine the additional value of NBI-ME to conventional endoscopy in the surveillance of patients with intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia, i.e. to evaluate whether the use of NBI-ME is superior to conventional endoscopy in the detection of…
To determine which DC populations are present in esophageal tissue of patients with reflux esophagitis and BE. Relate the findings regarding DC populations to other pre-malignant gastrointestinal disorders (IBD).
-To determine the feasibility and the maximum tolerated radiation dose in HDRBT of the rectum after EBRT in rectal cancer patients who are unfit for surgery or refuse surgery-To determine the incidence and severity of acute and late toxicity of EBRT…
