Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide and is often metastatic at diagnosis. Despite progresses in surgical techniques and the introduction of novel chemotherapy regimens, many patients still suffer from a poor prognosis. It is therefore of utmost importance to identify prognostic markers that may improve selection of patients. In recent years several studies demonstrated that preoperative blood tests as platelet count or neuthophil-to-lymphocyte ratio could be prognostic factors in CRC as well as other malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of preoperative platelet count (PC) in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases.
This study will take disease-free survival time and recurrence and metastasis rate as the main evaluation indexes, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of strengthening the spleen and reducing phlegm method in patients with stage II high-risk and stage III colorectal cancer
Recent preclinical studies suggest that combining MEK and MDM2 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in RAS/BRAF-mutant and TP53 wild-type CRC models. In vitro, in RKO cell lines (poorly differentiated colon carcinoma cell line resistant to single agent targeting MDM2 and MEK and BRAF inhibition), the MDM2 plus MEK inhibitor combination generated a synergistic increase in apoptotic index. In vivo, in mice harboring human RKO colon tumor xenografts the combination of MDM2 plus MEK inhibition elicited 93% decreases in tumor volume. This trial is to conduct a single-center, Phase 1 dose escalation study of trametinib combined with HDM201 (a HDM2 inhibitor) in patients with advanced/metastatic RAS/RAF mutant and TP53 wt CRC.
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerable side effects, and determine the highest tolerable dose of the combination of Regorafenib and Nivolumab. Researchers want to find out if this combination of Regorafenib and Nivolumab can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer with mismatch repair (MMR) proficiency.
This single-arm study will evaluate the resection rate of liver metastases in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and borderline unresectable liver metastases receiving treatment with bevacizumab in combination with modified-FOLFOXIRI as first line treatment. Patients will receive bevacizumab (5 mg/kg) plus modified-FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan 150 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 200 mg/m2, and fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 as a 46-h continuous infusion) every 14 days as neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen. This study treatment will continue until surgery, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal.
To compare the sensitivity and specificity estimates of Colvera with that of a commercially available CEA test for detection of recurrent disease in subjects with colorectal cancer that have documented recurrence or no evidence of recurrence by CT.
The overall goal of the Parkland-UT Southwestern Population-based Research Optimizing Screening through Personalized Regimens (PROSPR) Center is to optimize colon cancer screening through personalized regimens in the integrated safety-net clinical provider network, which serves a large and diverse population of under- and un-insured patients in Dallas. Together, three research projects will assess clinic, system, and organizational factors associated with over-, under- and guideline-based screening among this important population and will compare benefits, harms, and costs of strategies for facilitating optimized screening regimens. The theme of optimizing colorectal cancer screening in a safety-net clinical provider network brings together several components. Its focus on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening which is important, because CRC is the second cancer killer in the US while being the only major cancer for which optimized screening results in primary prevention. Despite this strong potential benefit, CRC screening remains suboptimal overall, and especially among low-income and minority individuals served by safety-nets. Safety-net networks therefore offer tremendous potential for CRC prevention and control, but numerous factors at the clinics-, system-, and organization-level influence their ability to provide optimized care.
The primary endpoint is to obtain longitudinal information on four sub-populations from the Cologuard Post-Approval Study.
To compare the effects of three types of perioperative analgesia on the number of circulating tumor cells following radical colorectal cancer surgery. To find correlations with other perioperative factors and clinical/pathological disease characteristics.
