Filter by:Between 30% and 40% of patients with colorectal cancer develop metastatic disease intraperitoneally. The optimal treatment of this disease combines surgery and chemotherapy but requires resection of all lesions larger than 2mm. Indocyanine green has an affinity for tumor tissues and the interest of its use has been demonstrated for the detection of sentinel lymph node and some liver surgeries. The ability of indocyanine green to detect peritoneal carcinomatosis in humans has never been evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of fluorescence in the detection of malignant cells in peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin compared with pathological analysis.
The purpose of this study is to prove whether general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia could better maintain body balance of Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 compared with general anesthesia, so as to reduce the surgical stress-related immunosuppression, and to improve the prognosis.
Teng-Long-Bu-Zhong-Tang (TLBZT) is a modern anti-cancer herbal formula. Experimental studies have confirmed the anti-cancer potential of TLBZT against colorectal cancer. This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of TLBZT based herbal therapy in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Fruquintinib is a novel oral small molecule compound discovered and developed by Hutchison MediPharma that selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) 1, 2, and 3 and has demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on multiple human tumor xenografts.Based on first-in-human study, both 4mg QD and 5mg 3wks on/1wk off are safety and efficacy, this phase Ib study is to evaluable the safety, tolerability and efficacy of these 2 regimens with mCRC failed 2nd therapy or more and to determine the recommended dose and regimen in phase II/III study.
In this study, the investigators assessed the effect of avastin in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of RAS mutant-type, unresectable colorectal liver-limited metastases
The Bowel Cancer Screening program was implemented to address the important issue of prevention and early detection of bowel cancer. Results from the first few years of screening and previous smaller studies show that while in its current form it will save many lives, there continue to be polyps and cancers in the upper large bowel (right side) that may be difficult to detect. There is some evidence that these types of polyps (serrated polyps) may be at least partly responsible for cancers missed at the initial colonoscopy and have a faster rate of growth to cancer compared to conventional polyps (adenomas). We propose to examine participants undergoing screening colonoscopy with the addition of a contrast dye ( a safe food colouring agent base already used in various bowel camera procedures in standard clinical practice). This has been shown to improve detection of conventional polyps significantly even though it is considered by some to be more time consuming (possibly taking a few minutes longer) and requiring specific training to undertake. We hope to study the feasibility of undertaking these procedures to improve detection and removal of these polyps within the bowel screening program and potentially inform further studies to assess the impact of improved detection and consequent potentially reduced incidence of interval or missed bowel cancers in longer term follow up. Thus the main aims of this feasibility study are to assess if this type of procedure would be feasible to implement and acceptable to participants, colonoscopists and the screening program and also assess any additional time or costs involved to inform the question of if a larger study should then be undertaken to conclusively prove or disprove the merits of this approach in terms of health economics, cancer detection and survival.
To compare the outcomes of fast track laparoscopic surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery.
This study will be looking at whether CY/GVAX in combination with SGI-110 is effective (recruits CD45RO+ T cells to the tumor which may be a marker of anti-tumor activity) and safe in patients with metastatic colon or rectum cancers.
This prospective, non randomized multicenter phase II study, will determine the feasibility of individualized dose of irinotecan with the UGT1A1 polymorphism, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Stivarga in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma in routine use in Germany. The study is purely observational, only data from routine treatment are to be collected. The treatment and treatment conditions are solely at discretion of the treating physician.
