Filter by:- If a patient undergoes gastrectomy, which is a kind of major abdominal operation, he/she loses more than 5% of his/her body weight in 2 months after surgery. This point is one of the criteria of 'risk of malnutrition' according to Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS 2002) and the patient who corresponds to this criterion needs nutritional support. - According to Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS 2002), moderate malnutrition is defined as the state that the patient orally intakes 25~50% of recommended requirements; severe malnutrition is less than 25%. - Meanwhile, when oral nutrition support was provided to patients after gastric cancer surgery, the patients' average daily intake during the first three months was about a half of the recommended requirements. - Putting together the facts i) that the patient underwent major abdominal operation, ii) that the weight loss rate exceeded 5% for two months, iii) that the average daily intake of patients during the first three months was about half of the recommended amount, the patients are eligible to be classified as a group who require nutritional support according to NRS 2002. Therefore, it is intended to verify the efficacy and safety of supplemental parenteral nutrition by comparing Arm A, who are provided oral intake with supplemental parenteral nutrition, Arm B, who are provided oral intake only after curative gastric cancer surgery.
Feasibility study of a 12-week multidisciplinary telehealth rehabilitation programme for survivors of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer
A retrospective, multi-center, single-blind, pivotal trial to assess clinical equivalence with stage II and III advanced gastric cancer based on the 6th and 8th of the AJCC
This protocol is a single-institution feasibility study to identify the molecular and epidemiological risk factors in the development of gastric cancer in high-risk predominantly Hispanic South Texas population. The study is broken down into two main parts: 1) To identify molecular differences in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) between Non-Hispanics and Hispanics, stratified by age, and in benign, pre-malignant, and malignant gastric lesions; and 2) To identify environmental and clinicopathological factors in Hispanics associated with specific molecular changes linked to the development of GAC.
The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative FLOT chemotherapy in combination with perioperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with advanced gastric cancer at high risk of peritoneal metastases. The impact of treatment on peritoneal recurrence and survival over 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years will be assessed.
Stomach cancer is recognized as the third leading cause of death of cancer patients worldwide. Despite the radical treatment carried out, the progression of gastric cancer occurs in 30-40% of patients. The most common type of tumor progression of this localization is peritoneal carcinomatosis. When peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, the median survival of patients does not exceed 3 months, the overall survival is no more than 6 months. Unfortunately, when peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, palliative chemotherapy remains the only treatment option. The modern strategy for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis is based on the concept of regional chemotherapy. The main methods of regional chemotherapy are hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Pressured Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC). PIPAC is a new technology for delivering chemotherapy drugs to tumor nodes on the surface of the peritoneum and allows the cytostatic to be evenly distributed over the abdominal cavity, increasing the depth of its penetration into tumor nodes due to the properties of aerosol and gradients of intra-abdominal and interstitial pressure. The method has a number of advantages over the HIPEC method: a large penetration depth of drugs, low trauma, the possibility of repeated use. We offer PIPAC for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and a high risk of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis in an adjuvant mode in addition to standard treatment to prevent the development of carcinomatosis.
Patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (CT2-4a N0/+ M0) were selected as study subjects to investigate the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of ICG near-infrared imaging tracing in guiding laparoscopic D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer by comparing injection ICG group and non-injection ICG group.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program in improving fatigue, negative emotions , sleep quality, circadian rhythms and quality of life in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy in Taiwan. Hypothesis: 1. The fatigue in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 36th month. 2. The negative emotions in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 36th month. 3. The sleep quality in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 36th month. 4. The quality of life in exercise group is significant improving than usual-care group at 1st, 2nd,3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 36th month.
This study will be looking at the safety and added benefit of using the Indocyanine green dye (ICG) during surgery.
This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the individual oncogenomics of each patient.
