Filter by:This is a prospective randomized controlled trial that aimed to compare the short-term clinical outcomes, functional outcomes, costs, and recurrence rates between endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for early rectal neoplasms.
To study the application of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR）combined with intraoperative radiation therapy(IORT) for ultra-low rectal cancer,and to broaden the surgical indications of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR. The study is aimed to assess the postoperative acute complication and the short-term acute efficacy on the patients with middle and low rectal cancer by treated with intraoperative radiotherapy,especially those with peritoneal inversion rectal cancer.
Prospective randomized trial comparing robotic versus laparoscopic Low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Primary endpoint: Compare urinary dysfunction between robotic and laparoscopic approach.
The Transversus Abdominis Block (TAP) block is known to be an effective means of reducing patient pain after abdominal surgery. In the meantime, the general TAP block has been studied in patients who were in the recovery room and the ward after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pain reduction and opioid saving effects in patients with TAP block in ICU settings.
This is a 5 year Phase II study to evaluate the safety of non-operative management (NOM) in patients with low rectal cancer (LRC) who achieve a complete clinical response (cCR) following chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The safety of NOM will be evaluated by assessing (i) rate of local re-growth and (ii) rate of macroscopically positive resection margin (R2) when surgery is required due to local re-growth. NOM will be considered safe or as effective as surgery to achieve local control if the rate of local re-growth is equal to or less than 30% and the rate of a macroscopically positive margin is 0%.
Purpose:To compare the efficacy and the safety of total neoadjuvant chemotherapy + TME with standard neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy + TME + adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer patients with high risk factors of recurrence. Evaluation indexes: (1) the primary evaluation index: disease-free survival (disease free survival, DFS); (2) the secondary evaluation indexes: pathological complete remission rate (pCR), the 3 year overall survival (overall survival, OS); R0 dissection rate; distant metastasis free survival (DMFS); local recurrence free survival rate (LRRFS); tumor regression grade (TRG, tumor regression grade) and the adverse reaction rate during the chemotherapy, the operation safety index; quality of life; psychological and cognitive effects, assessment of nutritional status. Safety evaluation indexes: including all adverse events observed during the experiment. Number of patients: 458 cases Study design: patients will be randomly assigned into the total neoadjuvant treatment group (experimental group, TNT) and neoadjuvant concurrent chemotherapy group (control group, CRT) in the ratio of 1: 1. The patients of experimental group will be given 1 cycle of induction CAPOX (Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 d1, Capecitabine 1000mg/m2, bid, d1-14) prior to radiotherapy. Then pelvic IMRT/VMAT (50-50.4Gy/25-28f) and two cycles of concurrent chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, d1, d 22, Capecitabine 825mg/m2, bid, 5d/w, 25-28d) are performed. And three cycles of consolidation chemotherapy (CAPOX) are delivered after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Total mesorectal excision (TME) is performed after completion of the whole neoadjuvant treatment. The patients of control group will receive standard concurrent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine (825mg/m2, bid, 5d/w) followed by TME 6-8 weeks after the end of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Then, patients are treated with another 6 cycles of CAPOX. Schedule: Investigators plan to finish the study in 4 years and write the related work within 2 years after the completion of this study.
This study suggested an effective application of pattern recognition, which figured the possible biological function of potential bio-markers of rectal cancer found in our study based on their chemical structures. Hence, this study identified the precursor protein and metabolic mechanism of these bio-markers and may contribute to the neoadjuvant chemoradiation of locally advanced rectal cancer
Collect blood samples and associated clinical data prior to, during, and post radiation treatment.
A national cohort study with all patients scheduled for neoadjuvant treatment with (chemo)radiotherapy or short course radiotherapy with delayed surgery 6-8 weeks) for rectal cancer staged as cT4bNX/anycTanycN and cMRF+/anycTanycN and lateral lymph nodes on MRI (and patients that have been offered short course raditotherapy with delayed surgery due to various reasons). The tumours are positioned midrectal or low and are palpable with the finger. The patients offered this treatment after recommendations on their local multidisciplinary tumour board will be will be informed and offered to participate in the study. Patients scheduled for short course radiotherapy with immediate surgery cannot be included.
Fecal incontinence is common in patients with rectal cancer after surgery. Previous studies showed that pelvic floor muscle and external sphincter muscle training after stoma closure could improve the severity of incontinence and other fecal symptoms, but there is no study about the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise intervention before stoma closure. We are wondering would the symptom of fecal incontinence recover sooner and better if we give the pelvic floor muscle exercise intervention before the stoma closure. This article aims at comparing the effects of pelvic floor muscle training before stoma closure on fecal incontinence (pre-intervention group) with pelvic floor muscle training after stoma closure (post-intervention group), and we hypothesise that the severity of fecal incontinence will improve sooner and better in pre-intervention group.
