Filter by:In contemporary era of rectal cancer treatment, development of surgical technique and tool, adaptation of chemoradiation therapy, as well as multidisciplinary approach have led increased survival as well as rate of sphincter preservation. However, poor anorectal function, such as fecal incontinence and/or urgency, has also been increased. Such anorectal dysfunction is named as low anterior resection syndrome, and its rate has been reported in 40 to 90% in rectal cancer patients who received sphincter preserving surgery. Low anterior resection syndrome is known to debilitate quality of life in survivors of rectal cancer. Previously, several studies attempted to evaluate the low anterior resection syndrome via questionnaires and scoring system. Adapting the low anterior resection syndrome score system created in Denmark, this study investigates the validity of the scoring system in Korean language.
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.
This study aims to assess the lymphatic drainage of rectal tumours by using ICG as a fluorescent non-specific marker. As a feasibility study, it will also assess its technique and timing along with its ability to assist in removing lymph nodes when it is clinically indicated.
Hypothesis : Therapeutic intensification by increasing the dose delivered to the tumor by RCMI (conformational radiotherapy by intensity modulation) in order to reduce local relapse, often associated with poor prognosis Primary objective: evaluate the rate of tumor sterilization and the toxicities of RTCT with concomitant boost in intensity modulation in patients with rectal cancer CT3-T4 and / or cN1-2.
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.
Patients will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive either 4 weeks of Ondansetron followed by 4 weeks of placebo (O-P sequence) or 4 weeks of placebo followed by 4 weeks of Ondansetron (P-O sequence). It will be one week of washout between the two treatments. During the treatment questionnaires will be completed by the patients to evaluate the efficacy of the study treatment and the quality of live.
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.
Rectal cancer is one of the frequent malignant neoplasms ,Total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the gold standard treatment for middle and lower rectal cancers. Laparoscopic TME still be difficult in patients with low rectal tumors, narrow pelvic anatomy, male sex or high body mass index . Difficult visualization of the pelvic anatomy along with the limitation of rigid laparoscopic instruments may affect the quality of oncological outcomes and increase the risks of injuries during surgery. A down to up approach via transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) technique may overcome these problems
