The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.
This is a Phase II, single arm study looking at the rate of major clinical response and non-operative management in Stage II and III colon cancer after 18 weeks (up to 6 cycles) of neoadjuvant dostarlimab.
10%-15% of early-stage colon cancers harbour either deficient mismatch repair (dMMR), microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) is characterised by high tumour mutational burden and increased lymphocytic infiltrate. Metastatic dMMR colon cancers are highly sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibition.The MSI phenotype is associated with a better prognosis than MSS in stage II and III CRCs. However, there are conflicting data about the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in this group of patients. We are conducting a single arm study phase II trial to determine if the anti-PD-1 antibody Tislelizumab improves disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with high risk stage II and stage III dMMR/MSI-H colon cancer.
Our aim of this study is to compare the difference in lymph node yield in CME specimens versus those patients having a standard right hemicolectomy for right sided cancer .The secondary aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an interaction between greater lymph node harvest towards increased survival. Another subgroup analysis of this study is to compare the complications and oncological outcome between laparoscopic versus Robotic CME. Trial Title CME versus standard right hemicolectomy for right sided cancers Internal ref. no. Clinical Phase Trial Design Observational, prospective, international, multi-center study Trial sites 10 sites over 5 different countries Planned Sample Size At least 330 subjects will be enrolled in this study per cohort, including 10% of lost to follow-up patients). All patients during the enrolment period shall be screened and recorded at sites in order to identify any selection bias Treatment duration 3 years Follow up duration 5 years Planned Trial Period 10 years Objectives Outcome Measures Primary To compare the lymph node yield between complete mesocolic excision versus standard right hemicolectomy for patients with right sided cancer Number of harvested lymph nodes Secondary Incidence of local recurrence after surgery at 2 and 5 years Disease free survival (2 and 5 years) 5-year overall survival 30-day and 90-day mortality, 60-day postoperative major complications (As measured by the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®).) Pathological quality assessment.

Colorectal cancer arises from the mucosal layer of the colon. Current screening is performed by flexible endoscopy, which involves visual inspection of the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum with an optical camera mounted on the endoscope, with abnormal areas being biopsied. This method is somewhat limited in that there are no readily available surface pattern or morphological classification systems with adequate sensitivity or specificity to evaluate extent of submucosal invasion (deep, superficial, or none). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) using pattern recognition is a high-resolution imaging modality. There is currently an unmet need to predict depth of invasion for colonic tumors to decide on applicability of endoscopic (endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic mucosal resection) vs. surgical therapy. The investigators' hypothesis is that OCT will have a higher diagnostic accuracy for determining depth of submucosal invasion compared to existing modalities. The investigators will first aim to assess the procedural feasibility and safety of using an OCT probe during routine colonoscopy with an early feasibility study. This study will identify appropriate modifications to the device and help with development of subsequent clinical study protocols. The eventual goal is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of OCT imaging for predicting depth of invasion of colonic tumors.
This study will look at the recurrence-free survival of microsatellite-stable (MSS) colon cancer in patients are ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) positive and treated with gevokizumab.
A retrospective study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 1L polyethylene glycol (PEG)+ Ascorbic acid given for bowel preparation before colonoscopy.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a Physical Activity Index (PAI) tool that collects measures on physical activity, strength training and sedentary behavior can be used in a clinical setting to monitor patient behavior and provide specific recommendations on how to achieve and maintain behavior goals. The tool will be used after treatment is completed in breast and colon cancer survivors and will test if physician counseling combined with patient self-monitoring improves physical activity and reduces sedentary behavior over time.
The study of circulating tumoral DNA makes it possible to study, without invasive procedures or pathological studies, the tumoral DNA circulating in the blood of a patient and its various alterations. In patients with colon-rectal cancer with resected tumor, circulating tumor DNA can be used as a predictive biomarker of metastatic relapse of cancer. However, the routine extension of circulating tumoral DNA remains limited due to several difficulties. One of the pifalls that circulating tumor DNA is greatly diluted by healthy circulating DNA from non-tumor cells. The amount of healthy circulating DNA has been described as being influenced by certain physiological parameters. The aim of the study is to increase knowledge on the influence of physiological factors associated with sports activity and meal on the release kinetics of circulating DNA.
