Filter by:The use of a simultaneous resection in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases has increased over the past decades. However, it remains unclear when a simultaneous resection is beneficial and when it should be avoided. The objective of this retrospective study is therefore to compare the outcomes of a simultaneous resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases in different settings, and to assess which factors are independently associated with unfavorable outcomes.
This is a randomized phase II, open label, two arm study, evaluating the efficacy of panitumumab in combination with Trifluridine-Tipiracilas third line therapy, after a first line containing an anti-EGFR agent panitumumab(at least 70% of study population) or cetuximab in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.
This clinical trial compares an educational video intervention versus usual care of no video intervention in decreasing patient fear of a colonoscopy procedure after receiving a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT). The lack of a follow-up colonoscopy after an abnormal FIT result is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer mortality, advanced-stage colorectal cancer, among other complications, compared to the completion of a follow-up colonoscopy. An educational video may reduce patient fear and increase knowledge, self-efficacy, and intent to complete a colonoscopy compared to the usual care of no video intervention.
The NICE study is a prospective, multi-site study to train and validate a blood-based, glycoproteomic test for the early detection of advanced adenoma and colorectal cancer by collecting blood samples and associated relevant clinical information from average-risk participants who undergo routine screening colonoscopy as well as participants undergoing colonoscopy for surveillance or diagnostic indications
The purpose of this study is to estimate the overall survival (OS) for US participants diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) by using Flatiron Health's individual patient level data.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most commonly occurring cancer worldwide. Thirty-five percent of CRC patients are diagnosed at stage II/III, and their outcome differs even if they are in the same stage. Previous study found that the microenvironmental collagen is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Whether tumor microenvironmental collagen signature is associated with colorectal cancer prognosis still remains unknown. We hypothesize that the tumor microenvironmental collagen signature of colorectal cancer is associated with prognosis.
Immunotherapy improved efficacy and survival in selective patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), however, limited data revealed the landscape of immunotherapy efficacy. What's more, potential markers have not been comprehensively evaluated to identify responding patients to further improve efficacy.The investigators conducted a single-arm study to investigate the efficacy of combination immunotherapy in patients with mCRC, and the combined regimen is determined by the physician in charge.
patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to the different doses of lidocaine or the placebo group. In the lidocaine groups, at the beginning of surgery, lidocaine 0.5mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg, and 1.5mg/kg per hour were continuously infused (using ideal body weight) respectively during the whole procedure. In contrast, the control group was infused with the same dose of normal saline. All the infusion procedures will be stopped at the end of surgery
Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK, accounting for over 16,000 deaths per year. Screening can reduce deaths from bowel cancer if the people invited participate. The challenge is that high uptake of bowel screening is hard to achieve, and remains persistently below 65%. The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is the most widely used bowel screening test worldwide. In the UK, FIT kits are mailed to people's homes without guidance on when the kit should be returned and only brief instruction on how to use it. Some people have said that even though they intend to complete and return the kit, they often forget or put off doing it. Two approaches are proposed to addressing this issue: i) providing a suggested deadline for FIT return, because it is known from breast and cervical cancer screening that giving people an appointment time increases uptake compared to an open invitation, and ii) planning sheets, that have been found to help people act on their intentions in other health contexts. This trial aims to evaluate the impact of providing a suggested deadline and a planning sheet on the return of FIT bowel screening kits. The trial is integrated within the Scottish Bowel Screening Programme. The investigators will randomly allocate 40,000 consecutive people that are due to be sent a FIT kit to one of eight groups: (i) control group (no deadline, no planning sheet), (ii) intervention group (1-week deadline, no planning sheet), (iii) intervention group (2-week deadline, no planning sheet), (iv) intervention group (4-week deadline, no planning sheet), (v) intervention group (no deadline, with planning sheet), (vi) intervention group (1-week deadline, with planning sheet), (vii) intervention group (2-week deadline, with planning sheet), (viii) intervention group (4-week deadline, with planning sheet). It will then be examined if having a suggested deadline and a planning sheet affects how many people send back their completed FIT kit. It will also be examined if the deadline length makes a difference and whether having both a deadline and a planning sheet affects the number of people returning their kit. Finally, the cognitive and behavioural mechanisms underlying any intervention effects will be assessed and the acceptability of the interventions explored, using questionnaires and in-depth interviews.
Studies have shown that clear liquids containing carbohydrates are safe when given up to 2 hours before surgery and increase patient comfort before surgery. In the light of this information, this study aims to investigate the effects of preoperative oral carbohydrate administration on postoperative glucometabolic response, subjective well-being, quality of life, and surgical clinical outcomes in patients scheduled for colorectal surgery; planned as randomized-controlled, double-blind
