Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant and growing health burden in Hong Kong. According to data from Hong Kong Cancer Registry, CRC ranked the first in incidence and the second in mortality, with around 5,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 2,000 cancer-related mortality in 2014. The investigators aim to evaluate the association between serial weight change during first line treatment and outcomes in patients with metastatic CRC.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of cetuximab or cetuximab-irinotecan in patients with neo wild-type colorectal cancer who have been previously treated for metastatic disease. Patients will be included in cohort #1 or cohort #2. The inclusion in cohort #2 will start when the results of the cohort #1 are available. Patient will receive either cetuximab alone (cohort #1) or cetuximab with irinotecan (cohort #2).
A multicentre, prospective randomized, active-controlled feasibility trial of volatile-based anaesthesia vs. propofol-based total intravenous anaesthesia to investigate the impact of anaesthesia on long-term (i.e. 5-years) patient cancer outcomes in patients undergoing elective major cancer surgery.
The Adventist Health Study-2 is a long-term study, exploring the links between lifestyle, diet, and disease outcomes among Seventh-day Adventists. More than 96,000 church members from the U.S. and Canada are participating in the current study, AHS-2, conducted by researchers at the Loma Linda University School of Public Health.
There is no evidence available about which molecular profiling methods are currently used for cancer patients in Austrian clinical practice. The construction of the registry proposed as a completely independent research endeavor, will be helpful for scientific evaluation and the establishment of highly credible data.
The relative risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased in first-degree relatives of patients with CRC or advanced adenoma. In the high-risk CCR population defined by a family history at the first stage of CRC or advanced adenoma before age 60, total colonoscopy is the recommended screening test. In France, the rate of screening colonoscopy in this population at high risk of CRC is insufficient, which limits the effectiveness of this targeted screening. The main reason for this low participation rate is that most patients undergoing RCC or advanced adenoma are unaware of the family implications of their diagnosis and therefore reluctant to disseminate this information to their patients Related matters. The need for a better perception of the personal risk of CRC in first-degree relatives of patients with CRC or advanced adenoma, with the expected coronary adherence to increasing screening, requires a good understanding of risk through Clear, adapted and comprehensible information that can be relayed personally by the case-index. The objective of this project is to develop a personalized prevention and screening program for the JRC in order to meet the needs of the relatives of the sick. The means of intervention that will be implemented respond to the need to better take into account the level of CRC risk in a family-based CRC screening and prevention approach adapted to a high-risk CRC group characterized by Family history at the first stage of CRC or advanced adenoma and, consequently, to improve the information of the subjects concerned by screening and prevention of CRC. The aim of the case-index education is to induce its intervention with its relatives to promote CCR screening. The use of the index case, as a means of providing information to relatives, implies an educational and psychological approach, based on evidence, but adapted and personalized.
Participants will take part in a 12 week intervention, with at least one follow up at 24 +/- 2 weeks. Each participant will be provided with support, motivation and professional guidance about improving physical activity (PA) levels and will be given a commercially available PA tracker. The PA tracker will also include a smartphone or web-based application, where participants can upload their exercise performed each day, and keep up to date with their goals using their smartphone or by logging on to their computer. The aim of the study is to find out how useful and effective technology with support from a healthcare professional is in helping cancer survivors to become more physically active. This study will measure objective PA levels of the participants at the start of the study and at the end. The acceptability of using this intervention to promote PA in cancer survivors will also be investigated.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) continues to be a serious healthcare concern. It is painful, persistent, resistant to conventional pain therapies, and results in long-term suffering and decreased quality of life for many cancer survivors. The role of exercise to decrease CIPN-related neuropathic pain (CIPN-NP) will be investigated, with the goal of identifying the mechanisms associated with this therapeutic approach to manage CIPN-NP.
Colorectal cancer is one the most frequent cancer in developed countries. In France, it rank third with 43000 new cases in 2015. French Health Authority recommended colonoscopy screening for people with a high risk for colorectal cancer. But this compliance with colonoscopy is low (20-40%), it is therefore necessary to develop new strategies to improve compliance. The purpose of this project is to to offer and evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of a specific surveillance system for high risk people for colorectal cancer The project will be divided into 2 phases: Objectives of the first phase: - Identify high risk people for colorectal cancer in the department of Indre-et-Loire, - Fill in as completely as possible their colonoscopic history in the past 5 years, - Estimate the proportion of high risk people for colorectal cancer in the target population for colorectal cancer screening in Indre-et-Loire (Men and women aged from 50 to 74 years). Objective of the second phase: Compare the performed colonoscopy rate of high risk people for colorectal cancer without notion of colonoscopy in the past 58 months following or not (control group) the sending of a letter reminding the importance of compliance with colonoscopy.
