The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides RNF43, TOMM34, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 in combination with Tegafur/Uracil/Folinate chemotherapy.
- feasibility and tolerance of preoperative therapy with Bevacizumab in combination with Capecitabine and radiotherapy for patients with locally advanced, locally operable rectal carcinoma - collection of response rate (T- and M-downstaging, pathological complete remission)
The primary purpose of this prospective, randomized multicenter center study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes of colorectal, coloanal and ileoanal anastomoses reinforced with a bioabsorbable staple line reinforcement material compared with standard non-reinforced colorectal, coloanal and ileoanal techniques with respect to the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stricture and time to ileostomy closure, if applicable.
To determine whether using a radiolabelled analog of 5-FU, [18F]-5-fluorouracil, for PET/CT imaging can visually demonstrate differential chemotherapy delivery to known tumor sites before and after administration of bevacizumab and determine the optimal timing of bevacizumab administration to maximize the chemotherapy delivery into the tumor for improved cancer treatment.
We hypothesize that hand-assisted laparoscopy will overcome technical difficulties related to pure laparoscopic rectal surgery and allow surgeons to expand application of laparoscopic techniques to treating patients with rectal cancer. In this study, we plan to randomly assign patients diagnosed with rectal cancer to undergo either "standard" laparoscopic surgery or hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. We will then compare both peri-operative and long-term outcomes of patients.
The goal of this study is to learn how the treatment given to patients with recurrent rectal cancer affects their well being and quality of life.
In this trial will be investigated if a defunctioning loop stoma used in low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer can be reversed after 14 days instead of 3-12 months which is present clinical practise.
The hypothesis of the present trial was that the use of a defunctioning loop stoma reduces the rate of symptomatic anastomotic leakage from 15% to 7.5% after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer.
The purpose of this study is to examine the technical and oncological feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for rectal carcinoma
