Filter by:In this translational research study, Formalin-Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks from patients with early-stage (II-III) colorectal cancer will be assessed for a comprehensive cancer gene panel from NIPD Genetics (https://www.nipd.com/) targeting regions in 37 clinically relevant cancer genes. The colorectal cancer panel includes an extended list of clinically relevant genes, designed to target clinically actionable and clinically significant mutations that will provide physicians with genetic information regarding a) prediction of the patient's response to targeted therapy, b) prognosis, that is, prediction of clinical outcome, c) diagnosis and molecular classification of colorectal cancer.
The objective of this study was to assess survival trends in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel drug-delivery system developed to deliver, effectively and safely, small doses of cytotoxic agents into peritoneal tumor deposits. It is currently used for palliation and for down-staging of patients who are non-eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of PIPAC used in neoadjuvant setting to enhance the response of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastasis when combined with neoadjuvant systemic therapy for patients eligible to CRS/HIPEC prior to planned surgery.
The aim of this project is to audit the surgical care in patients treated for colorectal adenocarcinoma. This study focused on collecting data from all consecutive cases of colon and rectal adenocarcinoma operated at the National Institute of Oncology in Rabat during a two-years period. Using standardized forms, the investigators collected data relating to each stage of treatment: pre-therapeutic, surgical and post-operative in order to measure the quality of the surgical care delivered. These results were compared to established benchmarks and to similar audit studies carried out in other countries around the world.
This phase II/III trial studies how well circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) testing in the blood works in predicting treatment for patients with stage IIA colon cancer after surgery. ctDNA are circulating tumor cells that are shed by tumors into the blood. Finding ctDNA in the blood means that there is very likely some small amounts of cancer that remain after surgery. However, this cancer, if detected, cannot be found on other tests usually used to find cancer, as it is too small. Testing for ctDNA levels may help identify patients with colon cancer after surgery who do benefit, and those who do not benefit, from receiving chemotherapy.
This study involves drawing blood samples from men before and after they perform 30-minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The investigators will evaluate whether adding the exercise serum to colon cancer cells in a dish can reduce the growth of the cells compared to the resting serum. Note: serum is the liquid part of the blood that carries hormones and metabolites around the body.
Many patients suffer from chronic diarrhoea after surgical treatment for cancer in the right side of the colon. The investigators' main hypothesis is that colon cancer patients with chronic diarrhoea have a higher risk of bile acid malabsorption compared with colon cancer patients without diarrhoea. The investigators also expect that a part of the cases of bile acid malabsorption is caused by underlying bacterial overgrowth in the small bowel. The investigators assume that patients with severe bile acid malabsorption have a lower value of FGF19 in the blood compared to patients with moderate or none bile acid malabsorption. Furthermore, it is assumed that patients with chronic diarrhoea and documented bile acid malabsorption after surgical treatment for right-sided colon cancer will get improved bowel function when treated with a bile acid binder, or antibiotics in case of bacterial overgrowth.
61 subjects (male or female) between the ages of 45 and 75 will undergo colonoscopy. The primary outcome is Cecal Intubation
An international, multicenter study to identify tumor molecular particularities and neoepitopes among participants with colorectal and pancreatic tumors undergoing surgery.
This phase Ib/II trial studies how well anti-PD-L1/TGFbetaRII fusion protein M7824 (M7824) works in treating patients with colorectal cancer (or with other solid tumors with microsatellite instability) that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as M7824, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
