Filter by:This project will examine the outstanding statistical techniques for predicting the survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) (colorectal neoplasia database). The motivating clinical question that led to proposing this project is based on the general assumption that: "Right-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) has worse survival than left-sided CRC." The question is, which aspects of the patient's characteristics are responsible for this difference? This led us to BMA model selection and provide a clinician-friendly online nomogram.
The aim of the study is to assess whether the use of artificial intelligence improves polyp detection in a segment of the colon (the right colon). To achieve this objective, patients will be divided into two groups: one will undergo a standard colonoscopy, the other a colonoscopy with the artificial intelligence software connected to the machine. This software does not modify the colonoscopy technique in any way, and does not require the administration of any product to the patient. The study will compare the detection rate of right colon polyps between the group of patients who underwent standard colonoscopy and those who underwent colonoscopy with artificial intelligence. If this number does not differ between the two groups, the investigators can conclude that there is no point in using artificial intelligence.
Background: Recent investigations have suggested that sidedness is associated with the prognosis of colon cancer patients. The role of sidedness in surgical outcome is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the different clinical characteristics and associated postoperative outcomes of sidedness in colon cancer. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study using the multi-institutional, nationally validated database of the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) from 2009 to 2013. Sidedness groups including right sided and left sided colon cancer were created according to the associated diagnosis and procedure codes. Postoperative mortality, morbidity, overall complication, and length of total hospital stay were analyzed after using a propensity score matching method.
Marginal acute inflammation would make reporting the serosal involvement of tumors controversial. We aimed to investigate the clinical significance and explore the prognostic value of MAI for stage II localized colon cancer.
The goal of the study is to determine, using a choice-based approach, what messages (pulled from various online sites) people find more and less persuasive and shareable on the topic of colorectal cancer screening. As a secondary goal, the study is interested how various information behaviors, such as people's self-reported seeking of health information and encountering of health information, demographic variables, individual difference variables, and message exposure associate with their intentions to adhere to recommended colorectal cancer screening guidelines from the National Cancer Institute. The study is interested at differences specifically among Black and White Americans of recommended screening age (45-74).
Based on data on a cohort of 2,141 patients undergoing elective colonic cancer resection in an ERAS program, the incidence of postoperative thromboembolic events is estimated in patients no receiving prolonged thromboembolic prophylaxis.
The investigators propose to evaluate Guardant Health's commercially available colorectal cancer screening assay(Guardant SHIELD) in individuals who are not up to date with CRC screening.
The objective of the study is the analysis of lymphadenectomy in the course of right hemicolectomy, in relation to the radicality of the surgical resection that is performed. In particular, the investigators wants to inquire how according to precise standards regarding surgical radicalness and consequently the anatomical piece that is obtained it is possible to correlate a certain number of lymph nodes and their possible positivity. The lead center is the General and Thoracic Surgery Department of the University of Ferrara. Prof. Anania is the responsible for the enrollment of patients and the coordination with the collaborating centers in the six month-study
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of mid-line fascial suturing using MONOFIX sutures in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer.
The objective of this study is the evaluation of different imaging methods for the optimal preoperative staging of colon cancer patients. Imaging findings will be compared with the histopathologic results of the specimen following surgical resection.
