Filter by:The goal of this interventional pilot trial is to confirm that Maastro endoluminal HDR ( High Dose Radiation) contact brachytherapy boosting is feasible and may increase the chance of functional organ sparing of the rectum in patients with rectal cancer. Participants will be treated with chemoradiotherapy and an endoluminal boost with the Maastro applicator.
A prospective single-center observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of a local treatment with a mixture of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and poloxamer 407 in patients with radiation-induced proctitis.
Radiation proctitis is a common complication after radiation therapy for pelvic tumors. The investigators found that live bifidobacterium and lactobacillus tablets combined with compound glutamine enteric-coated capsules can significantly relieve the symptoms of radiation proctitis through preliminary clinical practice, but the mechanism is unknown. Through a prospective randomized controlled study, this study intends to investigate the incidence of grade 2 or higher acute radiation proctitis in patients of locally advanced rectal cancer after radiotherapy with the combined therapy. And through various scales, next-generation sequencing methods and other methods to evaluate the clinical symptoms, colonoscopy, imaging, and changes in the species and abundance of intestinal flora before and after treatment. To further explore the related pathways and mechanisms affecting radiation proctitis.
Radiation proctitis is quite common in treatment of pelvic tumors. We investigated whether the use of symbiotic would prevent early symptoms of radiation proctitis and improve the quality of life in patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer treatment. We randomized patients to intake one sachet of either a symbiotic product containing 4.3 g of dietary fiber and Lactobacillus reuteri in a concentration greater than 10(8)colony forming units (CFU)(Fibermais Flora Nestlé Brazil) or sachets containing 5 g of maltodextrin. They were instructed to dilute one sachet in 200mL of water and drink once a day during the week before the beginning of radiotherapy sessions, and increase the dose to two sachets daily after the beginning of the sessions for four weeks. Every week a questionnaire named EORTC QLQ-PRT23 was applied to evaluate GI symptoms and quality of life.
The study will consist of pair of double-blind placebo-controlled trials of dietary supplementation with 15g/day FructoOligoSaccharide (FOS) for 7.5 weeks in patients with prostate carcinoma or 5 weeks in patients with cervical or endometrial carcinoma who are to undergo pelvic radiotherapy with intent to cure.
To proof the superiority of an 8-week rectal treatment with once-daily 2 mg budesonide versus placebo for the prevention of acute radiation proctitis, and to evaluate the occurrence of chronic radiation proctitis 1 year after start of radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, tissue response, and subject side effects of liquid nitrogen sprayed through a catheter (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") via endoscope in subjects with radiation induced proctitis.
