ART-Pro: Clinical Trial Evaluating Biparametric MRI and Advanced, Quantitative Diffusion MRI for Detection of Prostate Cancer
NCT06579417
Recruiting
This is a multicenter, multinational trial to evaluate advanced MRI techniques for improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The study will enroll 500 participants at 5 clinical centers (100 participants per center). The current standard MRI technique for prostate cancer screening is multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), but two drawbacks include need for intravenous (IV) contrast and dependence on radiologist expertise. The investigators expect that the combination of two oth... Read More

Testing the Addition of Radiotherapy to the Usual Treatment (Chemotherapy) for Patients With Esophageal and Gastric Cancer That Has Spread to a Limited Number of Other Places in the Body
NCT04248452
Recruiting
This phase III trial studies how well the addition of radiotherapy to the usual treatment (chemotherapy) works compared to the usual treatment alone in treating patients with esophageal and gastric cancer that has spread to a limited number of other places in the body (oligometastatic disease). Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in usual chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, wor... Read More
