Filter by:This trial is designed to try two new cancer drugs together for the first time. The investigators think that they might be effective in some types of bowel cancer. The first part of the trial will see what doses of the two drugs can safely be given together. Once the investigators have identified a suitable dose combination they will look at how effective treatment is in bowel cancers where either the RAS gene is mutated, or MET is over-active. In the trial the investigators will look at samples of blood, skin and tumour to check the drugs are working in the way expected. The trial will take place in three sites in the UK and 5 sites in Europe. The trial is funded as part of the European commission's FP7 program.
The primary aim of this project is to examine the association between having a long-term condition (morbidity) and screening uptake for colorectal cancer. Whilst this project will consider all morbidity and co-morbidities, there will be a particular focus on common mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. The secondary aim of this project is to examine other factors that may influence uptake rate. Information on a wide array of potential factors is available for this project. These include demographics (age, gender, ethnicity), socio-economic status (deprivation, education status) and lifestyle (smoking status, drinking patterns, degree of exercise). In addition, any potential moderating effect of these factors on the association between morbidity and screening uptake shall be explored. In summary, the following shall be explored: - Uptake rates by type of mental health disorder. - Uptake rates by chronic physical health problems. - Associations between uptake, morbidity (both physical and mental) and broader health determinants such as demographics, socio-economic status and lifestyle.
The primary objective of this study is to gather stool samples from subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to be added to a test set of stool samples that will be utilized to help select molecular markers and determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity values for the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for colorectal cancer (CRC).
The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically characterized, stool and plasma specimens for use in assessing new markers for the detection of neoplasms of the digestive tract.
This study will evaluate the concordance of RAS mutation detection between the results obtained from circulating tumor DNA and those obtained with the "standard" method (testing from tumor tissue).
(MWA) is the most recent development in the field of local ablative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate CT-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation safety and efficacy in pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.
Currently, no adjuvant study with hepatic arterial infusion in the adjuvant setting is opened. Recently, the results of a phase II study (NCT00268463, NSABP-C-09) assessing the potential benefit of systemic oxaliplatin and capecitabine alternating with HAI of FUDR, after resection of CRLM have been reported. The primary end point was 2-year survival. Fifty-five of 76 eligible patients were able to initiate protocol-directed therapy and completed median of six cycles (range, one to six). Three postoperative or treatment-related deaths were reported. Overall, 88% of evaluable patients were alive at 2 years. With a median followup of 4.8 years, a total of 30 patients have had disease recurrence, 11 involving the liver. Median disease-free survival was 32.7 months. In conclusion alternating HAI of FUDR and systemic capecitabine and oxaliplatin met the prespecified end point of higher than 85% survival at 2 years and were clinically tolerable.
Coordinated multi-center project with several complementary goals in each one of the sub-projects included. Objectives: 1.To determine risk factors of death, or major complications in the short term; 2.To determine risk factors of death, tumor recurrence, major complications, readmission or deterioration of quality of life in the mid term; 3.Evaluation of patient reported outcomes from before the intervention to the end of the follow-up. 4.To study the role of immunohisto-chemistry markers in the prediction of similar adverse results. This sub-project (coordinator) will approach the determination of risk factors of death, tumor recurrence, major complications, readmission and deterioration of quality of medium term life (1-2 years). Methodology. Design: prospective cohort study with 2 years follow-up after the surgical intervention. Participant centers: 18 hospitals of 6 Autonomous Communities of all Spain. Patients diagnosed of colorectal cancer surgically intervened. Variables: pre-intervention, those of the hospital admission, sociodemographic, immunohisto-chemistry and clinical parameters, that could be in relation to the outcomes to study. Statistic analysis: a derivation sample will be created where the possible predicting parameters will be identified, by cancer of colon or rectum. Predictive models will be created with a good discriminative capacity. A validation of those models will be performed in a validation sub-sample. Logistic and Cox regression models will be used. Simulation models for the prediction of discreet events in the long term will be used.
It has been shown that RFA induced systemic tumor antigen-specific T cell responses in human carcinoma. However, there are insufficient studies on the immune modulation of tumor microenviroment (TME) outside of the ablation zone. In order to study how RFA modifies TME in human cancer patients, investigators performed a retrospective study of a unique cohort of patients who suffered from synchronous CRCLM.
Colorectal Cancer is, in non-smokers for both sex, first cause of cancers mortality in Western country. The main risk factors associated with colorectal cancer depend of lifestyle, and processed meat and red meat could be involved in carcinogenesis by cytotoxic and genotoxic compound linked to lipid peroxidation and nitrosation. The aim of this study is to study the impact of the daily consumption of beef, processed or not, on lipid peroxidation induced heme iron ; and to study the impact of the daily consumption of ham, processed or not, on the nitrosilation induced heme iron.
