Filter by:Introduction: Cancer rectum and sigmoid is increasing nowadays. Resection and anastomosis is done laparoscopic approach with various techniques of anastomosis. Aim of this study: to compare between open side to end colorectal anastomosis versus laparoscopic end to end colorectal anastomosis in Non-emergent colo- rectal Cancers in adults as regard anastomotic leak, intestinal function and quality of life. Patients and Methods: Randomized controlled trial was performed on patients with Non-emergent colo rectal cancers between September 2016 and September 2018.
According to the total population of cancer patients, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), two of gastroenterological cancers are involved in the most acquired five cancers. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of tumor-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and HCC is one of the top ten cancers in China. Currently, the intervention for gastrointestinal cancers mainly focuses on surgical removal, but patients still have a high risk of recurrence. Thus, the prevention of cancer recurrence is the most crucial topic for the intervention. The pathophysiology of gastroenterological cancers is multifactorial and not yet completely understood. However, immunosuppression is a major contributing factor in tumor cells play a central part in disease progression. It determines the prognosis of patients.
A multicenter Italian retrospective study on COVID-19 pandemic condition and advanced Gastro - Intestinal Cancer. Are in Italy increased the new diagnosis of GI cancer in advanced stage in the 2020 compared with 2019, as a consequence of COVID-19?
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of exercise therapy for patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for primary gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer, providing a reproducible exercise regimen designed to improve or preserve aerobic fitness, strength, and quality of life. In addition, this study will address shifts in healthcare delivery needed as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, evaluating the effectiveness of telehealth instruction as a method for exercise therapy. The study hypotheses are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise therapy for cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment when delivered via telehealth, as compared to an in-person setting. 2. To assess stair test instrumentation, previously validated in a healthy population, as a measure to gauge health status in cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment. 3. To assess patient satisfaction with exercise therapy when delivered via telehealth, as compared to an in-person setting.
Prospective observational study comparing calcium and sodium levofolinate in combination with 5FU/or in FOLFIRI regimen on patients affected by gastrointestinal cancer (any site of disease along with gastrointestinal tract) who have been prescribed FOLFIRI in standard clinical practice.
The purpose of this multi-phase research study is to understand how consultation of cancer care with a geriatrician can best improve outcomes for older adults with gastrointestinal malignancies.
Deep learning technology has an increasing role in medical image applications and, recently, an artificial intelligence device has been developed and commercialized by Medtronic for identification of polyps during colonoscopy (GI-GENIUS). This kind of computer-aided detection (CADe) devices have demonstrated its ability for improving polyp detection rate (PDR) and the adenoma detection rate (ADR). However, this increase in PDR and ADR is mainly made at the expense of small polyps and non advanced adenomas. Colonoscopies after a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) could be the scenario with a higher prevalence of advanced lesions which could be the ideal situation for demonstrating if these CADe systems are able also to increase the detection of advanced lesions and which kind of advanced lesions are these systems able to detect. The CADILLAC study will randomize individuals within the population-based Spanish colorectal cancer screening program to receive a colonoscopy where the endoscopist is assisted by the GI-GENIUS device or to receive a standard colonoscopy. If our results are positive, that could suppose a big step forward for CADe devices, in terms of definitive demonstration of being of help for efectively identify also advanced lesions.
This is a pilot study aiming to investigate the ability of a novel Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) probe in assessing the different layers of the gastrointestinal tract and the depth of invasion of early neoplasia, utilising surgically and endoscopically resected specimens
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
Gastrointestinal cancer like Gastric cancer and colorectal cancer are high-incidence tumors worldwide. Surgery is the only curable way. Perioperative treatment can improve the survival of patients. Microsatellite instability-high（MSI-H）are a special subtype of gastrointestinal tumors, accounting for about 15-22%. According to current research, patients with this type of gastrointestinal tumors cannot benefit from traditional perioperative chemotherapy, which directly affects the long-term survival of patients. Because patients with MSI-H have a unique tumor immune microenvironment, thus they are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Current studies have confirmed that the use of immunotherapy during palliative care can prolong the survival of patients with MSI-H. In the neoadjuvant treatment stage, according to the previous clinical practice of our center, the use of immunotherapy can make some patients achieve complete postoperative pathological remission. However, in the perioperative treatment stage, the value of immunotherapy is still lack of powerful clinical evidence. Based on this, our group intends to start an observational study to prospectively enroll patients with MSI-H gastrointestinal tumor using immunotherapy during the perioperative period.The primary endpoint is safety while survival outcomes as secondary endpoints. In order to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of immunotherapy during the perioperative treatment stage in MSI-H gastrointestinal cancer
