May 20th, 2022 - Background: Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP) is a highly aggressive variant of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), the most common type of pancreas cancer.

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality with an average life expectancy of 6-9 months Despite the success of several studies showing efficacy in treating HCC, most clinical trials have failed to prove a survival advantage. Adoptive T-cell therapy exploits the natural ability of T-cells to re...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Prostate specific membrane antigen is overexpressed in high-grade tumors, and increases when de-differentiation, metastatic or hormone-refractory disease occur, making the expression level a prognostic factor for disease outcome. It has been shown that PSMA can be expressed not only on prostate cancer cells, but also on cell lines of other malignancies, as well as tumor endothelium....

May 20th, 2022 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To centrally test resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for genetic mutations to facilitate accrual to randomized adjuvant studies. II. To obtain clinically annotated tumor tissue and patient-matched non-malignant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from peripheral blood, as well as detailed epidemiologic and clinical follow-up data, to allow clinically annotated advanced g...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Resections to remove tumors in the liver, bile ducts and pancreas are rarely curative, and patients frequently succumb to disease recurrence in the ensuing months to year(s) after the operation. Standard adjuvant therapies, which typically begin 6-12 weeks after surgery, offer little demonstrable decreases in the rates of tumor recurrence. The concept and implementation of immediate...

May 20th, 2022 - Individuals and families with known or suspected syndromes that include breast, ovarian or genetically-related cancers are enrolled in this family study, which is a syndrome-specific sub-set of the long-standing DCEG Human Genetics Program umbrella family studies protocol (78-C-0039). Cancer outcomes are documented through review of medical, vital, and pathology records. Selected individuals an...

May 20th, 2022 - Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare, recessive disorder with a more than 1000-fold increase in the frequency of all major skin cancers in association with defective DNA repair. The risk of skin and other cancers among normal appearing XP heterozygote individuals has not been fully studied. We plan to study the family members from XP families with known DNA repair gene mutations to determine if...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Annually, more than 25,500 women develop ovarian cancer (OC) and more than 16,000 die of this disease in the United States. Women at high genetic risk of OC have a much higher lifetime risk of developing OC than women in the general population. OC is difficult to detect using current screening methods, which include CA-125 monitoring and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS); most women ar...
