Filter by:This study aims to establish a holistic framework for continuous cancer survival surveillance in Russian regions with high-quality population-based cancer registry data. The data from the population-based cancer registries of the Northwestern regions of Russia will be used to assess net and cause-specific survival trends.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab before colonic resection in patients with early-stage (I-III) deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer (CC).
The CRC DRAW study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the blood-based, Next-Gen CRC Screening Test for the detection of CRC.
This study is designed as an open-label, adaptive Simon Two-Stage study to evaluate the efficacy of CTX-009 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. A Simon Two-Stage adaptive design will enroll approximately 37 patients into Stage 1, and if criteria are met to move to Stage 2, an additional 47 patients will be enrolled.
The SoFiT study is a randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a behaviour change guided lifestyle intervention on increasing adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund cancer prevention guidelines, compared to the wait-list usual care group, on diminishing cancer-related fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors.
People who are diagnosed with cancer of the colon/rectum/appendix/ovaries that spreads into the lining of the tummy and some ovarian cancers or people with pseudomyxoma peritonei can often undergo intensive treatment including major surgery where chemotherapy is given whilst the person is having surgery - also known by doctors as surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Fitness for this surgery can improve if people undertake a prehabilitation programme at the time they get their diagnosis. To date, little research has focused on how exercise and nutrition support before surgery can help these patients during recovery. The aim of this study is to explore the use of exercise and nutritional support pre-treatment to enhance physical and psychological outcomes for patients.
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.
In this study, the investigators will compare extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) with intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic hemicolectomy for right colon cancer.
Data from a prior phase II study of single agent cabozantinib in metastatic, refractory colorectal cancer (NCT03542877) combined with the compelling preclinical data in colorectal mouse models utilizing cabozantinib combined with nivolumab have led to this concept for a clinical trial to combine cabozantinib and nivolumab in patients with metastatic MSS CRC in the third line setting and beyond.
The purpose of this trial is to study the relationship between the angiogenic response to surgical aggression, determined through the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on postoperative day four, and the tumor recurrence in patients with colon cancer operated with a curative intention.
