Filter by:The prospective cohort study will evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigation in community health center settings. The investigators will collaborate with the advisory board, composed of key clinicians and patients, researchers, and policymakers, to establish a procedure to conduct and evaluate a patient navigation program that aims to increase rates of follow-up colonoscopy among diverse patient populations served by safety net clinics. Phase 1 will be a milestone-driven planning process in which the investigators will validate the risk prediction model and apply the risk prediction model to stratify the patients and adapt patient navigation materials for the local context. Phase II will be a large-scale, patient randomized-controlled trial that will include 1200 patients at a large 34-clinic community health center in Washington State.

Study objective: Cohort 1: To quantify the uptake of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in local or distant metastases from breast carcinoma patients and to assess repeatability of the image-based HER2 quantification. The uptake will be correlated to results obtained via biopsy of the same lesion, if available. Cohort 2: To report on uptake of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in different cancer types that might overexpress HER2 Cohort 3: To explore the feasibility and added value of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in the neoadjuvant setting of HER2-expressing breast carcinoma Time schedule: After inclusion, patients will be injected intravenously with 37 - 185 MBq 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 with a total mass of up to 200 μg NOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1. Serum and plasma samples will be collected at injection. At 90 min after injection, a total body PET/CT scan will be performed. Patients in cohort 1 will undergo a second PET/CT procedure, identical to the first procedure, within 8 days, with a minimal interval of 18h and maximal interval of 8 days. Patients in cohort 2 can undergo an optional 18F-FDG-PET/CT within 21 days prior to or after 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1. In cohort 1 and 2, based on PET/CT images, up to 2 lesions will be selected for optional image-guided biopsy. Biopsy will be performed max. 28 days after the last PET/CT. Plasma and serum samples will be obtained between 60 and 365 days after first injection for patients in cohort 1 and between 42 and 365 days after first injection for patients in cohort 2. Patients in cohort 3 will undergo 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 PET/CT prior to the start of neoadjuvant treatment and again after the last cycle of neoadjuvant treatment but prior to surgery. Plasma and serum samples will be obtained before each injection and between 42 and 365 days after the last injection.
This retrospective study, will evaluate patient outcomes after triplet chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX) (5 Fluorouracil + oxaliplatin + irinotecan) plus cetuximab 1st line treatment focusing on efficacy and safety in a RAS (KRAS, NRAS (neuroblastoma rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer population, and according to BRAF (murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B) status and primary tumor location.
The purpose of this study is to compare progression free survival rates of metastasized colorectal cancer patients refractory or intolerant to systemic therapy with fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, anti-VEGF therapy and anti-EGFR therapy (for tumours with wild-type KRAS)); randomized for treatment with TAS-102 (standard-arm) or High Dose Intermittent Sunitinib (700 mg once every 2 weeks). The investigators hypothesis is that treatment with the experimental arm (sunitinib) will provide an improvement in progression free in this patient group.
The purpose of this research is to understand if an educational program about colorectal cancer helps improve people's knowledge of colorectal cancer prevention and screening and their intention to get screened for colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test if including personalization in education materials about colorectal cancer screening is more effective at helping encourage people to complete colorectal cancer screening.
In this study researchers want to learn more about the effect of low-dose Aspirin on cancer that develops in the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) and/or the rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine before the anus), diseases that affects the heart or blood vessels and safety outcomes. Study will focus on two groups of adults aged 50-59 and 60-69 years having an increased risk of heart and/or blood vessel disease who are taking either low-dose aspirin or no low-dose aspirin for heart and/or blood vessel disease prevention. The model will be based on information publicly available either on government organization websites or in scientific journals. Based on these data researchers will focus in a first step to build a model of 2 million adults (1 million for each age group) for the UK population and in a second step, the model will be modified for use with other European countries, to reflect the epidemiology and guidelines for aspirin use in these countries.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the psychological and emotional determinants of domestic dissemination of information about genetic risk of cancer and to compare the level of diffusion syndromes in breast/ ovarian cancer ( BRCA1 / BRCA2) and colon/endometrial ( HNPCC )
Colorectal cancer is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Most patients develop colorectal liver metastases (CLM), and for such patients hepatectomy combined with chemotherapy may be curative. Nevertheless, in the era of precision medicine there is a critical need of prognostic markers to cope with the heterogeneity of CLM patients. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) pave the way to tissue invasion and intravasation providing a nurturing microenvironment formetastases. The quantification of immune landscape of tumors has provided novel prognostic indicators of cancer progression, and the quantification of TAMs might explain the heterogeneity of CLM patients. Here, we will investigate the development of a new diagnostic tool based on TAMs with the aim to define the causative role of TAMs in CLM patients. This will open new clinical scenarios both for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis, leading to the refinement of the therapeutic output in a personalized medicine perspective.
