Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can reduce cancer deaths. However, screening and abnormal test follow-up rates are low among underserved populations. The screening rates of 19-58%, and rates of colonoscopy completion after abnormal stool tests of 18-57% in community health centers (CHC) systems are low. This highlights an opportunity to improve early detection and decrease burden of CRC in our region. Mailed outreach and navigation programs have been shown to increase colonoscopy completion rate. The next step is to understand how to best implement these programs in the community on a larger scale. To achieve this goal, the investigators propose a Hub-and-Spoke intervention combining centralized strategies to maximize CRC screening, follow-up, and referral-to-care. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention will be superior to usual care for increasing CRC screening, abnormal test follow-up, and referral-to-care. The investigators will conduct a randomized trial to determine effectiveness in: 1) improvement in proportion of individuals up-to-date with screening 3 years post implementation; 2) proportion with abnormal FIT who complete diagnostic colonoscopy within 6 months; and 3) proportion with CRC completing first treatment evaluation. The investigators will also evaluate the implementation, scalability, and sustainability of the multi-level implementation strategy. The intervention consists of: Mailed FIT and Reminders. Eligible individuals will receive an introductory letter describing the importance of CRC screening and noting that follow-up mail will include a FIT Kit. It will also be offered to patients who completed prior mailed FIT with normal test results. All materials will be in English and Spanish. Two weeks later, participants will receive a packet via mail containing the FIT kit, a one-page invitation inviting FIT completion and FIT instructions, a postage-paid envelope for return to the patient's CHC, and COVID-19 message. For non-compliant individuals not returning the kit, a reminder phone call and text message will be delivered 2 weeks later. The investigators will track returned letters, individuals who are later found to be up-to date with screening, and those who decline screening. The CHC will provide care coordination for patients with an abnormal FIT result.
This prospective, single arm study aims to evaluate the preoperative neoadjuvant safety of Sintilimab combined with XELOX plus bevacizumab in colorectal patients with liver metastasis and pMMR/MSS status.
The primary objective of this clinical trial will be to compare overall colorectal cancer (CRC) screening participation between an active choice (fecal immunochemical test [FIT] or colonoscopy) and a sequential choice (FIT offered first, then colonoscoscopy offered in those still unscreened) arm. Secondarily, we will (1) compare the proportions of FIT vs. colonoscopy per arm, (2) compare active choice vs FIT only in the initial 3 months of the study, (3) characterize changes in physician knowledge and attitudes regarding CRC screening before and after an educational seminar delivered at the launch of the initiative, (4) characterize perceptions regarding the effect of the intervention on clinical practices, and (5) compare detection rates of CRC, adenomas and SSLs per arm, and the operational results of the outreach program across arms.
Evaluate the patient care recommandation induced by the IMMUNOSCORE® result
This observational follow-up study of the randomized trial (RCT) DIQOL investigates long-term effects of an intervention with quality of life (QoL) diagnosis and therapy on present QoL, survival, and recurrence-free survival of colorectal cancer survivors more than 5 years after surgery. Moreover, patients' experiences with aftercare for colorectal cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic and their recollections of their illness and therapy are examined.
The objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Surufatinib Combine With Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy for Second-line Treatment in Advanced Colorectal Cancer.
This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.
This clinical trial collects biospecimen samples to create a personalized ctDNA test to guide treatment for patients with gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the material that carries all the information about how a living thing will work and function. Everyone is born with the same DNA in all our cells throughout our body. Sometimes, some of the cells in the body develop abnormalities in the DNA that cause those cells to grow abnormally and uncontrollably. Cancer occurs when there is abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. The DNA in cancer cells is therefore different from the DNA someone is born with. The Signatera ctDNA assay is a laboratory test that takes tumor (cancer) tissue and evaluates it for unique tumor DNA. This evaluation is used to create a report (otherwise known as an assay) personalized to each person's cancer. The personalized assay creates a personalized blood test to detect the level of abnormal DNA from the cancer that may be circulating in the body. Once this personalized blood assay is designed, it may be used to monitor a person's blood for the presence of ctDNA, which will indicate the presence or absence of cancer over time, even after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with Eye90 microspheres in patients with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Both cause tumors, known as malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia, that have an abnormally large number of blood vessels attached to them. Eye90 is internal radiation brachytherapy for treatment of malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia that uses microspheres, tiny glass beads smaller in diameter than a human hair, to provide radiation. The microspheres contain Yttrium-90 (Y90) as the radiation source, which are used to to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The microspheres are also radiopaque, which means that they can be seen during imaging procedures. The visibility of the microspheres allows the study doctor to confirm the microspheres have been delivered in the tumor; this may help to improve the outcome of treatment.
