Multidisciplinary Integrated Platform for a Technological Innvovative Approach to Oncotherapies

National Cancer Institute, Naples269 enrolled

Overview

This is multicentric, observational, and retro- prospective study.

The project aims to develop a regional platform for innovative disease treatment oncology. In particular, an integrated platform will be created with several complementary skills among them, which have as their common objective to increase knowledge and the possibilities of surgery for certain types of cancer. The actions implemented in this project will be as follows: * Improvement of primary and secondary prevention strategies with precocious diagnostic devices; * Optimization of therapeutic treatments by custom drawing of the scheme therapeutic; * Improved therapeutic efficacy for high social impact resistant neoplasms development of innovative treatments such as personalized therapeutic vaccines and small molecules; * Improving patient compliance and quality of life accompanied by less need of hospitalization of the patient himself with consequent decongestion of hospital admissions; * Reduction of health costs as a result of early diagnosis and new therapies more effective and less invasive; * Increasing regional health and technological attractiveness in a high bio-medical sector social and health impact.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sampling of biological material from cancer patients.

Sampling size and type of biomaterials, residues in diagnosis and/or clinical activities care, collected by cancer patients and properly stored will include: \- cells and/or tissue fragments during surgical excision (with "open" approach/ laparoscopic/ robotic) of the tumor or parts of the same tissue

Time frame: 3 years

Sampling of biological material from cancer patients.

Sampling size and type of biomaterials, residues in diagnosis and/or clinical activities care, collected by cancer patients and properly stored will include:- blood, cell samples, urine/other biological liquids (saliva, excreted, ascites, pleural fluids, etc.) and faeces,

Time frame: 3 years

Sampling of biological material from cancer patients.

Sampling size and type of biomaterials, residues in diagnosis and/or clinical activities care, collected by cancer patients and properly stored will include:- samples fixed in formalin and included in paraffin (Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded, FFPE).

Time frame: 3 years

Identification of biomarkers to be used for the development of early diagnostic systems

The alteration of the levels of biomarkers, measured by the use of analytical techniques based on mass spectrometry, and the correlation of such levels measured against control samples will allow the development and training of advanced statistics models to identify and define the type and the status of the oncological pathology.

Time frame: 3 years

Monitoring the progress of drug therapies

The identification of biomarkers used to monitor the drug therapie defined as "pharmacometabolomics" will allow to calibrate finely and optimize the selection of therapeutic protocols allowing to reduce the costs of prescription and assistance, while improving the patient's health.

Time frame: 3 years
