Arterial treatments for primary liver cancer
This study is watching how treatments that deliver medicine or tiny beads directly into the liver's blood supply work for people with liver cancer. If you have liver cancer and are getting or have gotten one of these treatments, this study wants to learn from your experience.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06774677Recruiting
Studying cell communication in hairy cell leukemia for better care
This study looks at how cells talk to each other in hairy cell leukemia, a rare blood cancer. It aims to find ways to improve patient care. Participants may be asked to give blood or tissue samples for research.
Palermo, PAAges 18 years+ - NCT06774781Recruiting
Using MRI to find prostate tumors
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better identify prostate cancer lesions before biopsy or surgery. It may help men who already have suspicious MRI findings and are scheduled for a prostate biopsy or removal.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06774482Recruiting
Comparing radiation treatments for uterine cancer
This study looks back at patients treated with radiation for uterine cancer at Sant'Orsola Polyclinic in Bologna to compare different treatment options and see which ones work best and cause fewer side effects.
