Filter by:This study is to assess how a theoretically guided mHealth communication informed by evidence of thoughts and affect about colorectal cancer can enhance how an existing mHealth (cell/mobile based text messaging health promotion) intervention increased physical activity in healthy adults.
This observational study will gather outcome and experience data of patients living with advanced colorectal cancer and their caregivers. The primary objective is to measure how quality of life in this population changes over time (before, during, and after a palliative pathway becomes the new standard of care in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).
Experts note that in order to continue reducing the US cancer burden, it is critical that investigators "more completely apply discoveries in cancer prevention we have already made." Thus, it is important to research strategies that aim to improve application of effective colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention and screening tests among underserved populations like American Indians (AI).CRC is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death among AI; yet, one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early. Increased use of recommended CRC screening tests among men and women ages 50-75 have contributed to nearly 50% declines in US CRC mortality since 1990. However, recent evidence indicates AI have not observed equitable improvements. The investigators propose to build upon our experience addressing CRC screening in underserved populations and strong partnerships with North Carolina tribal partners to gain new insight about a patient-centered, culturally appropriate strategy to increase AI CRC screening.
Iron deficiency anaemia is a common condition among colorectal surgical patient. Untreated anaemia would lead to increase in blood transfusion, surgical complications and mortality. Treatment with oral iron sulphate is poorly tolerated due to side effects. Intravenous iron supplement provides an alternative way to rapidly replace iron deficit during the preoperative period among surgical patients. Evidence is growing for its effect in rising hemoglobin level and reducing blood transfusion, at the same time supporting its safety profile. The investigators plan for a single-centered, randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of intravenous iron compared to standard care in terms of hemoglobin level/serum ferritin increment, need for blood transfusion, duration of hospital stay, quality of recovery and surgical complication rate, as well as safety profile among colorectal cancer surgical patients in Hong Kong. The investigator propose the following pilot RCT for exploring the effect size and study process in conducting the above-mentioned large-scale RCT.
This is a Phase IV, single-arm, prospective, open-label, multicenter, interventional study to evaluate safety and efficacy of regorafenib in patients with mCRC who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine , oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if RAS wild type, an anti-EGFR therapy.
This study select the diagnosis of postoperative colorectal cancer patients with stage II/III to adjuvant chemotherapy, and received 2 weeks and 3 weeks xelox adjuvant treatment process until disease progression or patients died or lost to follow-up. To analyze the difference in efficacy and safety of xelox in 2 weeks and 3 weeks of postoperative adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer, so as to find a better postoperative adjuvant treatment model.
This trial studies the monitoring of therapy and progression by collecting blood, urine, and stool from participants with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Studying samples of blood, urine, and stool from participants with colorectal cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.
This study will evaluate health utilities in patients with breast or colorectal cancer.
The research product, registered as a nutritional supplement (Ocoxin®, oral solution), manufactured by Laboratorios Catalysis S. L., comes in the form of single-dose vials of 30 ml. It will be used at a rate of 60 ml daily (1 vial every 12 hours). Our main objective is To evaluate the effect of Ocoxin®-Viusid® on the quality of life of patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Our hypothesis is that the administration of the nutritional supplement Ocoxin®-Viusid® it is expected to improve the quality of life and enhance tolerance to chemotherapy in at least 70% of patients.
This is a longitudinal, single-center, prospective study to determine the efficiency of WBC Count, CRP, PCT, Neutrophil CD64 and Monocyte Human Leukocyte Antigen- DR in the diagnosis of postoperative infectious complications in colorectal cancer surgery
