Filter by:After endoscopic removal of a colorectal polyp that harbors (unexpected) adenocarcinoma, pathology usually can not guarantee a radical resection from an oncological point of view. In such case, additional surgical resection is advised. However, only in 15% of patients, residual adenocarcinoma is found. This study investigates the sensitivity of biopsies from the polypectomy scar for residual adenocarcinoma.
More than one third of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) suffer from comorbidity such as heart and lung diseases. This comorbidity markedly impairs survival after surgical treatment owing to increased mortality within the first weeks to months after surgery. Since the operation itself constitutes a severe challenge to the patient's cardiopulmonary system, this study aims to elucidate whether a more systematic perioperative management and follow-up of colorectal cancer patients with cardiopulmonary comorbidity may improve their outcome as measured by complications, hospitalisation times, and survival.
Anesthesia favouring deep/intense neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopy may restore hemodynamics. However, no studies has been performed comparing oxygenation parameters during laparoscopy in colorectal surgery in either moderate or intense neuromuscular blockade. The investigators aim to investigate whether the intense neuromuscular blockade produces a better oxygenation profile measured by the central venous oxygen saturation than the moderate neuromuscular blockade. This is a one centre, prospective clinical trial to compare oxygenation data at different stages of neuromuscular blockade in high-risk patients scheduled for colorectal surgery. Data recording will be blinded to the anesthesiologist in charge of the patient, who will manage patients by a determined protocol, based on stroke volume data to direct fluidotherapy. Data analyzer will be not be involved in the study design or in writing reports from the study. Inclusion criteria: Be a candidate to a colorectal surgical resection procedure and one of these conditions: ≥ 70 y.o, or respiratory co-morbidity, or cardiac co-morbidity or haemoglobin level < 11g/dl. The primary outcome is the absolute number of the central venous oxygen saturation, measured at the following points: basal, after tracheal intubation, before pneumoperitoneum or abdominal incision, after pneumoperitoneum or abdominal incision, 5 and 10 minutes before administration of rocuronio to produce intense blockade, continuously during profound neuromuscular blockade until the end of surgery, before sugammadex administration, after sugammadex administration, after tracheal extubation, for the 24 hours post surgical. Data of the regional cerebral oxygen saturation will be measured at the same points. The investigators hypothesize that oxygenation data will be favourable by applying the intense neuromuscular blockade in comparison with moderate neuromuscular blockade. Also, the investigators hypothesize that oxygenation data obtained during the whole procedure including the first 24-hours post-surgery, measured by the regional cerebral oxygen saturation are comparable to data obtained by the central venous oxygen saturation. The investigators want to obtain information about influence in the outcome of producing profound neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopy colorectal by comparison of outcome data with matched historical control.
This is a Phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-1400 alone or in combination with INO-9012, delivered by electroporation in subjects with high risk breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer with no evidence of disease after surgery and adjuvant therapy. Subjects will be enrolled into one of six treatment arms. Subjects will be assessed according to standard of care. Restaging and imaging studies will be performed to assess disease relapse per NCCN guidelines. RECIST will be used to validate the findings in cases of relapse.
Detect plasma Hsp90α concentration of colorectal cancer patients, healthy volunteers, benign colorectal diseases patients.
200 patients with colorectal cancer will be investigated before surgery and 100 of them after surgery. Investigations will include polysomonographic sleep apnea recordings during one night, lung function measurements, blood gas samples and questionnaires. Controls: Men and women from two population-based cohort studies
Objectives: 1. Determine the surveillance practice patterns following curative resection of colorectal cancer 2. Identify patient characteristics related to eligibility for treatment after the detection of a colorectal cancer recurrence
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary nitrate supplementation improves performance in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus trastuzumab: one cohort will be for patients with unresectable HER2 overexpressing gastric or GEJ cancers, the other cohort will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The pembro plus ado-trastuzumab emtansine phase II arm will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing MBC. There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus cetuximab: one cohort will be for patients with HNSCC, the other cohort will be for patients with K-ras, B-raf, N-ras wildtype metastatic CRC.
This will be a randomized phase II clinical trial of patients with histologic documentation of metastatic colorectal cancer, who have received local and currently approved standard therapies, excluding RGF.
