Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well Polyphenon E works in treating patients with high-risk of colorectal cancer. Polyphenon E contains ingredients that may prevent or slow colorectal cancer.
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the dosing and safety of labetuzumab govitecan (formerly known as IMMU-130; hMN-14-SN38, antibody-drug conjugate) in participants with colorectal cancer.
This randomized clinical trial studies the preliminary efficacy of a yoga skills training (YST) compared to counseling and education (CE) for reducing treatment-related symptoms in patients with colorectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The YST may reduce fatigue, other treatment-related symptoms, and improve the quality of life (QOL) of patients with colorectal cancer. It is not yet known whether YST is more effective then CE in reducing these outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test a behavioral intervention for elderly adults in treatment for colon cancer, to enhance their skills for managing the challenges of completing chemotherapy regimens. The investigators will assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, and explore preliminary efficacy of the intervention for reducing psychological distress and improving rates of optimal chemotherapy adherence.
The investigators research mobilizes the resources of an integrated health-delivery system with extensive electronic clinical data to implement and evaluate a new strategy to maximize screening of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) patients for Lynch Syndrome.
The purpose of this research study is to explore ways to improve appropriate colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the elderly by attempting to target screening in those most likely to benefit and avoiding screening in those least likely to benefit.
This is a study to determine if using Narrow-Band Imaging of the colon, rather than the usual white light on the colon, will improve the detection of a type of polyp called serrated. The polyps are called serrated because of their appearance under the microscope after they have been removed. They tend to be located up high in the colon, far away from the rectum. They have been definitely shown to be a type of precancerous polyp and it is possible that using Narrow-Band Imaging will make it easier to see them, as they can be quite difficult to see with standard white light.
The Ohio Patient Navigator Research Program (OPNRP) proposes to alleviate disparities in relation to the timely diagnosis and treatment of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in Columbus, OH.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that NIR fluorescence angiography using the PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System ("PINPOINT System" or "PINPOINT") can assess viability of colon tissue during laparoscopic left colectomy. This information will provide the surgeon with clinically relevant information in assessing whether or not the tissue has adequate blood supply in the lower section of the colon prior to a colectomy.
A quality colonoscopy examination remains as the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, but effective large bowel cleansing prior to colonoscopy is still not achieved in all cases that undergo the procedure. Currently, the most widely used cleansing methods employ balanced electrolyte-polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions. However, a very large volume of PEG solution is required for it to be effective, and many patients refuse to drink a sufficient amount due to non-palatability. In this study, the investigators compare a novel colon preparation method--bolus lukewarm saline with yoga exercise--with a PEG based solution (HalfLytely) for large bowel cleansing.
