Long-term dental effects of childhood cancer chemo
This study looks at how chemotherapy given before age 10 affects teeth later in life. Researchers want to know if childhood cancer survivors have more dental problems than others.
BrusselsAges 12–36 - NCT05797467RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery chemo plus targeted therapy for colon cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding targeted therapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps people with stage T3-4, N2 colon cancer live longer or have fewer cancer returns. You would be assigned to receive chemotherapy with targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, based on the study plan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05529940RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFIRINOX around surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX before and after surgery versus giving it mainly after surgery for people with resectable pancreatic duct cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by timing the treatment around the operation.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06451393Recruiting
AI predicts stomach cancer response to chemo
This trial tests a computer-based model that uses CT scans, endoscopic images, and biopsy tissue to predict how well stomach cancer will respond to chemotherapy given before surgery. The goal is to help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–90 - NCT06541587Recruiting
Smart VR mindfulness for breast cancer patients on chemo
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) mindfulness program that responds to your heartbeat can help reduce stress and improve how well chemotherapy works for breast cancer. You will use a special VR headset during your hospital stay.
