NCT ID: NCT06271980 Completed - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Recurrence

ENCORE
Start date: April 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Survivors of early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed before age 50) may experience colorectal cancer recurrence several years after curative-intent treatments, but clinical guidelines provide unclear guidance on endoscopic surveillance. This study aims to predict recurrence-free survival and overall survival, in survivors of early-onset colorectal cancer, using a tumor-based molecular assay based on microRNA (ribonucleic acid)

NCT ID: NCT01570452 Completed - Clinical trials for Colorectal Cancer Stage IV

Matrilysin Expression in Different Stages of Colorectal Tumors

MMP7
Start date: September 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been shown to be involved in cancer biology. Significant expression of MMP-7 (matrilysin) in colorectal cancer is mainly associated with metastatic disease even though it is expressed in most tumor states. Our purpose is to analyse MMP-7 in bowel and lymph nodes of different tumor stages and to evaluate its expression as a potential biomarker of cancer disease in patients surgically treated for benign and malignant colorectal tumors. Tumoral tissue, lymph nodes and serum samples from recruited Patients plus serum samples from healthy volunteers are analysed for matrilysin expression by histology, immunohistochemistry, ELISA and Western blotting. If Matrilysin increases with increasing dysplasia and cancer disease stage in tumor tissue as well as in the regional lymph nodes it might be used as a complement in investigating suspected locally advanced cancer.

Multimodal Prehabilitation for Colorectal Surgery

Start date: July 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Despite advances in surgical care, the incidence of postoperative complications and prolonged recovery following colorectal surgery remains high. Efforts to improve the recovery process have primarily focused on the intraoperative (eg, minimally invasive surgery, afferent neural blockade) and post-operative periods (eg, "fast track" early nutrition and mobilization. The pre-operative period may in fact be a better time to intervene in the factors that contribute to recovery. The process of enhancing functional capacity of the individual in anticipation of an upcoming stressor has been termed "prehabilitation". Based on the notion that preoperative exercise would have an impact on recovery of functional capacity after colorectal surgery, our group recently conducted a randomized controlled trial. Subgroup analysis identified that patients whose functional exercise capacity improved preoperatively, regardless of exercise technique, recovered well in the postoperative period. However, one-third of patients deteriorated preoperatively despite the exercise regimen, and these patients were also at greater risk for prolonged recovery after surgery. These results suggested that exercise alone is not sufficient to attenuate the stress response in all patients. In the present trial, the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation intervention composed of exercise, nutritional supplement and psychological well-being begun in the preoperative period will be compared to one begun in the postoperative period.
