Filter by:Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death. Early diagnosis is extremely important in terms of treatment and mortality. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic value of serum autotaxin levels in colorectal cancer.
Ramucirumab is a biosimilar drug of CYRAMZA® produced by Chiatai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Nanjing Shunxin Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. It is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) antagonist. This single-center, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel phase I study of Ramucirumab injection versus Cyramza ® in healthy male volunteers was designed to evaluate the similarities in pharmacokinetics, tolerance, safety and immunogenicity of Ramucirumab and CYRAMZA®.
This study is a randomized, double blind controlled trial examining the impact of incorporating a single intraoperative intravenous magnesium bolus and infusion into a preexisting Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for colorectal surgery in place of preoperative oral pregabalin. These protocols are pathways designed with the goal of achieving early surgical recovery by utilizing a constellation of perioperative care techniques that include the use of opioid-sparing pain medications, minimally invasive approaches, and prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting, among others. Intravenous magnesium has shown to be an effective non-opioid analgesic in abdominal surgeries that decreases total opioid consumption, pain, and improves recovery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the addition of intravenous magnesium to our institutional ERAS protocol will improve specific outcome measures, and provide additional benefits when compared to oral preoperative pregabalin. The primary outcome is the patient's quality of recovery based on the "Quality of Recovery - 40 Questionnaire" (QOR 40), and secondary outcomes will be opioid consumption, pain, shivering, sedation scores, acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal function, respiratory function, and hospital length of stay.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is diagnosed in one million patients each year worldwide and is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death. Peritoneal metastasis (MP) is seen in 10% of CRC patients and is the metastatic site with the worst prognosis. Complete cytoreduction surgery (CCS) is the only treatment that allows for prolonged survivals. Five-year overall survival (OS) after CCS ranges from 30% to 60% compared with 0 to 5% with exclusive medical treatment. Chemotherapy (CT) with fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan 3 months pre-operatively and 3 months adjuvant is widely used. The benefits of perioperative CT have been demonstrated in another resectable metastatic site, the liver and has become by extension a therapeutic standard in France for CRC MPs. However, the impact of delay in the initiation of surgery and adjuvant or neoadjuvant CT is unknown for CRC MPs. Several deleterious oncologic effects are related to a long period without treatment between - Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery: - Surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Several meta-analyses have demonstrated, for at least 13 different cancers, a continuous association between delays in treatment (CT, radiotherapy, or surgery) and cancer mortality. For CRC, Hanna's meta-analysis showed that for every 4-week delay in adjuvant surgery or CT, the risk of cancer death increased by 6 and 13%, respectively. These long delays between CT and excisional surgery also decrease survival in patients with liver metastases from colorectal origins and MPs from ovarian origins but this has never been evaluated in patients with MPs from colorectal origins. Demonstrating an oncologic impact of therapeutic delays would have several strategic practical impacts such as: - Promoting pre- and post-operative rehabilitation programs to facilitate recovery and reduce time to retreatment. - To use more easily techniques (protective stoma, multi-stage surgery) limiting the risk of complications and therefore the delays in treatment. - Propose clinical research protocols aimed at reducing these delays with knowledge of plausible statistical hypotheses. A therapeutic strategy of shortening the time between each treatment therefore deserves to be evaluated in metastatic forms of colorectal cancer. The investigators would like to evaluate the hypothesis that shortened time between treatments could have a prognostic impact on recurrence-free survival.
As cancer survival rates have been increased due to technological developments and early detection strategies, there has been been a growing need to assess the effect of long-term complications and adverse effects upon patients' functionality and quality of life. Chemotherapy, which is accepted to be the body of systemic adjuvant therapy is attributed to long-term survival, yet some side effects such as sarcopenia, loss of muscle strength and functional capacity, fatigue, and sensory disturbances due to the neurotoxic effects have been well known. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a condition that is characterized by main loss of cutaneous sensation especially in the distal part of the extremities. CIPN affects approximately 30-40% of patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Loss of sensation in distal sides of upper and lower extremities may cause not only deterioration of fine hand skills but also loss of balance and thereby one's mobility and independence are detrimentally affected. Thus, this study is aimed to assess CIPN in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in a longitudinal design by assessing the cutaneous function of the sensory nerves and related effect of motor function.
Colonoscopy parameters will be compared before the introduction of the G-EYE endoscope and after the introduction of the G-EYE endoscope
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of submucosal injection of EverLift in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps 4-9mm during colonoscopy.
The focus of the study is to evaluate impact of cold forcep and cold snare in achieving complete resection during polypectomy of polyps <=3mm during colonoscopy.
The investigators propose a phase II clinical trial with the objective to investigate the potential clinical interest to associate regorafenib with a metronomic chemotherapy combining capecitabine, cyclophosphamide and low-dose aspirin, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main objective of the study will be to achieve 15% of objective response rate in patients treated with multimodal metronomic chemotherapy and regorafenib.
To understand and analyse the global impact of COVID-19 on outpatient services, inpatient care, elective surgery, and perioperative colorectal cancer care, a DElayed COloRectal cancer surgery (DECOR-19) survey was conducted in collaboration with numerous international colorectal societies with the objective of obtaining several learning points from the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our colorectal cancer patients which will assist us in the ongoing management of our colorectal cancer patients and to provide us safe oncological pathways for future outbreaks.
