Filter by:The objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of bladder training on the incidence of re-catheterization after proctectomy. In this study, the bladder training include intermittent urethral catheter clamping combined with active urination training, which we called ICCAUT strategy. This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial will enroll patients with rectal cancer who will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the ICCAUT group or the free-drainage group. In the ICCAUT group, patients will undergo intermittent clamping of the urinary catheter before its removal. Each time the catheter is released, we will encourage the patients to actively initiate urination to facilitate complete bladder emptying. While patients in the free-drainage group will not undergo any specific training. The urinary catheter will be removed on the second postoperative day for both groups. The primary endpoint is the incidence of re-catheterization due to urinary retention. Secondary endpoints include urinary tract infection (UTI), time of first urination after catheter removal, residual urine volume after the first urination, postoperative morbidity and mortality within 30 days, as well as urinary function within 30 postoperative days.
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancers worldwide. Although the majority of CRC cases are typically diagnosed in individuals older than 50 years of age, recent international studies have highlighted the importance of younger adults (< 50) are gradually increasing. Young cancer survivors often have poorer quality of life, disrupted social and sexual health, and increased mental health-related risks such as depression and anxiety. Especially for patients with rectal cancer, patients may suffer from sexual dysfunction, urinary system problems and loss of normal bowel function after radical resection of rectal tumors, and some patients may also need to undergo ostomy, which may have adverse effects on the quality of life and mental health of patients after surgery. Given that the incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults continues to rise worldwide, there is a need to better understand the impact of this particular disease on postoperative quality of life in young adults. This study intends to retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients, and further summarize the impact of rectal cancer surgery on the quality of life of patients through follow-up.
The goal of this observational trial with a nested randomized controlled trial is to investigate a selective approach of defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection in rectal cancer patients. The primary outcome is a hybrid so-called textbook outcome; stoma-free survival at two years without major LARS, reflecting a functionally appropriate outcome after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Secondary outcomes include anastomotic leakage, postoperative mortality, reinterventions, stoma-related complications, quality of life measures, LARS, and permanent stoma rate up to two years after index surgery.
Aim: We evaluated the surgical outcomes of 3 groups of patients with rectal cancers - RAPIDO vs standard long course radiotherapy (LCRT) vs upfront surgery to objectively determine the effects of TNT on TME. Methods: A review of prospectively collected data was performed for patients who have rectal cancer and underwent low anterior resection from January 2016 to May 2022. Data on patient demographics, disease staging, peri-operative details and up to 2-year follow-up outcomes were analysed. The surgical and oncological outcomes were compared. Patients were followed up until 31 May 2022.
This single-arm trial will explore the efficacy and safety of long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiation with liposomal irinotecan and capecitabine guided by UGT1A1 status in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of local excision (LE) or non-operative management (NOM) in patients with MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer following neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the organ-preservation rate (OPR) after in patients with MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer following neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX? 2. Is LE or NOM safe and effective in patients with MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer following neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX? Participants will receive radical surgery, LE, or NOM based on the response of neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX in patients with MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer.
This study is being done to answer the following questions: Is the chance of rectal cancer responding the same if chemotherapy alone is given before limited surgery compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together before limited surgery? If radiation therapy is not given, is quality of life better?
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in mid-low rectal patients who received temporary ostomies after surgery of the primary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To explore the proportion of temporary stomas that cannot be reversed after radical surgery for mid-low rectal cancer and their main causes. - To use the basic information we collected from patients before and during surgery to develop an individualized model for predicting the time of stoma reversal and explore the risk factors affecting stoma reversal.
The objective of this prospective international cohort is to evaluate the LUMENEYE rectoscope for assessment on tumor response after total neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer. Patients included in this study will be patients who initially will be good candidates for organ preservation. The participating centers are all expert centers in tumor assessment. All patient assessments after neoadjuvant treatment for rectal adenocarcinoma will be included in each centre.
In this phase 2 study, the efficacy of total neoadjuvant therapy in Taiwanese patients with rectal cancer will be investigated. Patients with stage II or III middle/low rectal cancer will be prospective enrolled. The total neoadjuvant therapy with the short-course radiotherapy (5×5 Gy over a maximum of 8 days) followed by chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 for 9 cycles will be administered. The primary endpoint is the complete response (CR) rate which will take into account the patients with clinical and pathological complete response.
