Filter by:The SoFiT study is a randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a behaviour change guided lifestyle intervention on increasing adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund cancer prevention guidelines, compared to the wait-list usual care group, on diminishing cancer-related fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PG2 concurrent with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) for relieving fatigue among locally advanced esophageal cancer patients who are under preoperative chemoradiation therapy at curative setting. This study will be designed to compare the fatigue status between two study arms patients under CCRT. The secondary objective is to assess the efficacy of PG2 to improve the quality of life of patient during CCRT. Also, the investigators try to determine the effect of PG2 on tumor response post CCRT, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients by comparing the above outcome between the two study arms. The mechanism of immunomodulatory of PG2 and tumor response, DFS and OS for patients with esophageal cancer treated with preoperative CCRT concurrent with or without PG2 will be investigated in add-on study.
Fatigue is a major concern during and after cancer therapy with severe impact on quality of life. Yet, sound comparable data on fatigue prevalence, severity, and impact on daily life across different tumor entities is lacking. Furthermore, little is known about the current state of screening, counselling and treatment of fatigue. Thus, the FiX-Study aims to assess such data to identify patient groups with especial need for an improved fatigue management and treatment. A minimum of n=3000 patients about equally distributed about the 16 most common tumor entities shall be recruited between year 1 and 2 after primary cancer diagnosis via the cancer registry Baden-Württemberg. Data on fatigue (EORTC QLQ-FA12, BFI), quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30), depression and anxiety (PAQ-4), and information about screening and treatment of fatigue will be assessed via self-reported questionnaires. Clinical data regarding tumor and treatment characteristics will be derived from the cancer registry. This trial is imbedded in a larger research agenda on fatigue and will provide the basis for the development of an individually-tailored fatigue program.
Like other cancer treatments, radiation therapy can make people feel fatigued, or tired. The investigators think that moderate exercise, done 15 minutes at a time, can reduce the fatigue. This study is designed to gather more information, so that in the future, doctors can recommend whether patients should engage in exercise during a radiation treatment course.
