Filter by:Colorectal cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the world among all cancer types. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common and serious side effect caused by chemotherapeutic agents, especially platinum analogues, taxanes, vinca alkaloids and bortezomib. The most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of colorectal cancers are platinum analogues It is known that oxaliplatin, one of the platinum analogues, causes 85-96% of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The most common symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are; numbness, paresthesia, dysesthesia, pain, hypersensitivity to cold or heat, tingling, muscle cramps, distal weakness, gait disturbances, balance disorders, and impaired movement. Oxaliplatin, which is frequently used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, causes symptoms of both acute and chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. There is no proven method in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. However, various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are applied in its preventive and symptomatic treatment. Exercise and physical therapy interventions; It is stated that it improves strength, balance and other functional disorders in patients, reduces symptoms, and reduces the risk of falling by affecting gross motor dysfunctions such as balance and gait abnormalities. However, the limitations of studies on this subject in the literature draw attention. This situation suggests that new methods that can be applied in the care of cancer patients who develop peripheral neuropathy due to chemotherapy should be developed in the field of nursing. This research is the first study to evaluate the effect of hand-foot exercises on colorectal cancer patients who developed peripheral neuropathy due to platinum-based therapy. Research results; Alleviation of KBPN-induced pain and prevention of falls are important in terms of increasing the quality of life of patients and providing evidence for nursing practices by using it as a new method that can be applied in the care of cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of hand-foot exercises on the severity of pain, falls and quality of life associated with platinum-based therapy-related peripheral neuropathy in patients with colorectal cancer.
CCIS is a novel score, created specifically to evaluate the completeness of caecal visualized. It can be applied to a single or multiple images. To create the CCIS, the caecum was divided into eight parts: the appendiceal orifice (AO), the tri-radiate fold part 1 (TF-1), 2 (TF-2), 3 (TF-3) and four outer quadrants (OQ 1-4). The ileo-caecal valve (ICV) is a reference point but is not part of the score. The quadrant adjacent to the ICV is labelled OQ1. The three other quadrants are labelled clockwise from this quadrant. The tri-radiate folds are also labelled clockwise with TF1 representing the triangle side that is majority-contained within OQ1. TF2 and TF3 are then labelled clockwise from TF1.
The study explored the effects of short-term structured psychological care on the level of postoperative psychological resilience, stigma, anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal cancer colostomy.
Background: To assist clinicians with diagnosis and optimal treatment decision-making, we attempted to develop and validate an artificial intelligence prediction model for lung metastasis (LM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Method: The clinicopathological characteristics of 46037 CRC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 2779 CRC patients from a multi-center external validation set were collected retrospectively. After feature selection by univariate and multivariate analyses, six machine learning (ML) models, including logistic regression, K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, and balanced random forest (BRF), were developed and validated for the LM prediction. The optimization model with best performance was compared to the clinical predictor. In addition, stratified LM patients by risk score were utilized for survival analysis.
Primary care visits are a key aspect of clinical care focused on helping patients to close care gaps related to preventive care such as vaccination, diabetes testing, statin therapy and cancer screening. However, less than 50% of care gaps are closed during these visits and new approaches are needed to prime patients for a discussion during these visits. In this study, the study team will evaluate a health system initiative that uses text messaging to patients in days preceding a primary care visit to prime patients to be amenable to ordering of vaccination, diabetes testing, cancer screening, and statin prescribing.
The aim of this study is to assess the Efficacy of IV Ibuprofen and Ketorolac in the Management of Postoperative Pain in obese patients Following abdominal cancer surgery.
The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study is to explore the effect of late adaptation of an ERAS protocol in a high-volume colorectal surgical unit. The primary endpoint is the surgical outcome measured by early postoperative complications, defined by the comprehensive complications index. Secondary endpoints include amongst others LOS (length of stay), cost analysis, short-term follow-up in the ERAS group.
Retrospective analysis of a cohort of elderly CRC patients (aged ≥ 65 years) underwent transanal-NOSES between August 2008 and February 2022 was constructed. Data were obtained from China NOSES Database (CNDB). The primary outcomes included time to first flatus, postoperative hospital stays, 30-day postoperative complication and hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. Investigators aimed to compare the effect of three different anesthetic adjuvants (continuous infusion of lidocaine or dexmedetomidine, intrathecal morphine injection) on the biomarker for cancer recurrence and metastasis. Patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery will be randomly allocated to three parallel arms and the biomarkers for cancer recurrence and metastasis, inflammation, and immune response will be compared. And we will compare the clinical outcomes in the three method.
This study attempts to compare safety and long-term oncological outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in the treatment of clinical T4b Colorectal cancer.
