Filter by:Intraoperative tumor localization and resection can be enhanced using intraoperative fluorescence imaging and radiodetection. Labetuzumab specifically recognizes CEA which is is expressed on > 95% of colorectal cancers.. Therefore Indium-111-DOTA-labetuzumab-IRDye800CW is a perfect dual-labeled antibody for dual-modality image-guided surgery in peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer.
Surgery for digestive cancers is managed according to quality standards, validated by the scientific community. Despite the diffusion of these standards through the benchmarks of good practice, the results of the surgery remain disparate. In many countries, this "inequality of opportunity" has justified the establishment of quality assurance systems to measure the results of surgery for one or more localizations of digestive cancer. These surgical audit experiments have shown a positive, rapid and cost-effective impact on complication rates, recurrence rates and overall survival even in the absence of interventional measures. The data collected also helped to improve the management of subgroups of patients usually excluded from clinical trials. In Morocco, the National Cancer Prevention and Control Plan provides for the establishment of a quality assurance system with the introduction of a system for monitoring and evaluating the care of patients. This pilot project is part of this framework, for the group of patients who are candidates for surgery for digestive cancers.
The purpose of this study is to study whether adding Aprepitant to Palonosetron and dexamethasone can further prevent the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting caused by FOLFIRI or FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen among gastrointestinal malignancy patients with high risk factors of chemotherapy-associated adverse events.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Impact Oral in Patients undergoing Surgery for Gastrointestinal Cancer, half of the participants will receive Impact Oral nutrition therapy, the other half will receive Enteral Nutrition Emulsion(TPF-T) therapy.
The research studies patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer who receive chemotherapy in the medical oncology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xian Jiaotong University. All patients receive the nutritional risk assessment by the nutritional support team first, and patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition are randomly assigned to the study group and the control group. The study group receive nutritional intervention from the nutritional support team during the period of chemotherapy, while the control group receive routine nutritional support from their clinicians. In the control group, nurses execute the doctors' advice on nutrition, and the nutrition support team does not actively communicate with doctors about the nutritional risk of patients or interfere with it. The baseline characteristics, chemotherapy efficacy, adverse events and prognosis are collected in both groups. At last, data are analyzed to clarify the nutritional status and related factors of patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer in our hospital, and most important to explore the effect of nutrition-support-team intervention on nutritional status, chemotherapy tolerance and prognosis of patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of mebendazole (ReposMBZ) in patient with advanced gastrointestinal cancer or cancer of unknown origin. All patients will be given ReposMBZ for 16 weeks continuous treatment, individually dosed based on the serum concentration of mebendazole.
The present study investigates the efficacy of a new Endoultrasound guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) device (AquireTM Boston Scientific= AQUIRE®) for obtaining histological tissue cylinders in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic tumors, submucosal tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) and lymph node disease..
The study goal is to compare surgeon-palliative care team co-management, versus surgeon alone management, of patients and family members preparing for major upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery. The study also aims to explore, using qualitative methods, the impact of surgeon-palliative care team co-management versus surgeon alone management on the perioperative care experience for patients, family members, surgeons, and palliative care clinicians.
The objective is to perform a retrospective chart review of patients with cachexia related to cancer in patients treated at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Hospital to evaluate the prognosis and practice patterns in management of cachexia and associated symptoms.
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to determine the difference in post-operative anastomotic leakages in colorectal surgery, where anastomosis perfusion is evaluated using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging as an addition to standard surgical practice compared to surgical practice alone.
