Filter by:In this study, we aimed to develop a predictive model of lymph node yield in a series of colon cancer resection specimens with detailed anatomic and surgical technique data.
PEGASUS is a prospective multi-centric study designed to prove the feasibility of using liquid biopsy to guide the post-surgical and post-adjuvant clinical management in 140 microsatellite stable Stage-III and T4N0 Stage-II colon cancer patients.
There are continued disparities in cancer incidence, mortality, and survival between American Indians (AIs) and Whites on cancers responsive to early screening (i.e., breast, colorectal, and cervical) in the US. In New Mexico (NM), AIs compared with other racial/ethnic populations are significantly less likely to adhere to recommended screening guidelines. The purpose of this trial is to develop and pilot test multilevel/multicomponent intervention strategies to enhance screening for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers.
This study investigates the influence of type of anesthesia on survival and recurrence rate in patients receiving colon cancer surgery. The participants will be allocated to either the TIVA group and the inhalation group.
This study evaluates the ability of endoscopists to perform a complete optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps between 5 and 15 mm, and the impact of the only endoscopic diagnosis on the follow-up program for those patients. This is a prospective study in which we compare the diagnosis regarding size and histology made by the endoscopist versus de pathologic diagnosis.
This study will gather information on the safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug. The purpose of this study is to target early stage colon cancer before it has developed resistance to immunotherapy.
This early phase I trial studies how well heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cisplatin work for the treatment of abdominal or pelvic tumors that can be removed by surgery (resectable), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or has come back (recurrent). Heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy is a procedure performed in combination with abdominal surgery for cancer that has spread to the abdomen. It involves the infusion of a heated chemotherapy solution that circulates into the abdominal cavity. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more cells.
The comparison between total laparoscopic and laparoscopic assisted left hemicolon cancer resection underwent to choose a more effective and safe operation.
The human intestine is colonized with a complex microbial community and forms a super organism with the human body. Intestinal microorganisms include more than 1,000 kinds of bacterias, and their flora is very complex and functions are very diverse. The intestinal flora affects the body's nutrition, immunity and metabolism through interaction with the human body and the external environment, and is closely related to multiple systems. When the flora structure and function are changed, it will lead to the occurrence of various diseases or increase the risk of disease. In recent years, the role of intestinal microbes in tumorigenesis and development, as well as the role of diagnosis and treatment have been paid more and more attention. Abnormal intestinal flora can not only promote tumorigenesis, but also affect radiochemotherapy and immunotherapy effects. It is worth noting that the huge impact of the intestinal flora on immunotherapy suggests that immune checkpoint inhibitors can maximize the efficacy by protecting the balance and diversity of the intestinal microecology. Therefore, in this study, quantitative analysis of the diversity and abundance of intestinal, urinary tract flora, and urine components before and after adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric and bowel cancer was performed. The link between treatment efficacy and prognosis.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide. In the UK, CRC is the 4th most common cancer accounting for 12% of cancers diagnosed each year with approximately 41,300 new cases diagnosed in 2014. Surgery remains the only treatment option that can reliably achieve cure from colorectal cancer and thus nearly 20,000 major bowel resections are performed for this yearly in the UK. Surgery for these cancers however carries risk of major complications and potentially death. Selecting appropriate patients for surgery remains a challenge to cancer teams. Risk factors exist for complications after surgery for CRC, many of which can be assessed and discussed with the patient prior to surgery, so that any decision to operate is with fully informed consent from the patient. Increasing attention is being paid to a patient's frailty or fitness as one of these risk factors. Our centre has previously shown that measuring the cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle (a large muscle near the spine) from preoperative imaging could predict major complications in colorectal cancer patients (Jones 2015), however specialist software and patient height is required to make this calculation. More recently we have demonstrated that the measurement of the psoas muscle density on preoperative imaging (i.e. routine CT scans that all patients have before surgery to plan treatment), may potentially be useful to predict which patients are at most risk of a major complication (Herrod 2019). If this finding holds true when tested on a larger scale, it could be used to help surgical teams make the decision on whether to offer surgical resection, what kind of operations to perform, how to best support individuals undergoing operation and to ensure that the patient has the most information available to decide what risk they are at by having major surgery.
