Filter by:Colonoscopy screening is proven to reduce mortality rates for colorectal cancer, which relies on early detection and removal of colonic polyps. AmplifEYE is a FDA-approved device with a row of flexible detection arms attached to the tip of colonoscope which can separate colonic folds during scope withdrawal and is believed to improve polyp detection. Real-life clinical data on this relatively new device is lacking and this study aims to compare the adenoma and polyp detection rates in AmplifEYE-assisted colonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy.
Hernia formation at sites of ostomy closure is a common complication. The investigator believes that using evidence based hernia repair techniques as a preventive measure during closure of ostomies will reduce the incidence of hernia formation. In this trial, the investigator will pilot a novel technique of large pore monofilament polypropylene mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall defects that remain after closure of an ileostomy to evaluate for safety and begin to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard techniques.
The aim of the study is to compare ADR for colonoscopies from various indications and to find correlations between ADR of screening and all examinations.
The aim of our study is to compare MAP (mean adenoma per colonoscopy) with ADR (adenoma detection rate) and PDR (polyp detection rate) of all colonoscopists in our department
The GEPOC study investigates the effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment and intervention for frail older patients (65 years or older) undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer. the geriatric intervention will be pre- and postoperative. included in the intervention is an exercise intervention. The main aim of the study us to see if the functional decline in this group can be reduced.
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerable side effects, and determine the highest tolerable dose of the combination of Regorafenib and Nivolumab. Researchers want to find out if this combination of Regorafenib and Nivolumab can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer with mismatch repair (MMR) proficiency.
Liver is the most common site of metastases from colorectal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with targeted agents is usually recommended for borderline-resectable liver metastases that are technically difficult to resect for conversion to resectable disease and control of metastatic spread. However, the prognosis of these patients are still poor, and long term disease-free survival over 3 years is rare and <20%. More effective measures to prevent recurrence are needed before or after resection of colorectal liver metastases.
This study analyses interest of iv nefopam in combination with paracetamol after major abdominal surgery because the effect of morphine-sparing is discussed when combined these agents.
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women and over 70% of cases are preventable. A western diet, characterized by low vegetable and high red and processed meat intake, indisputably increases colon cancer risk. Heme, which gives red meat its color, is highly reactive, induces hyperproliferation and promotes DNA damage in the colon to a greater degree than any other red meat-associated carcinogen. Preclinical models indicate dietary chlorophyll, which gives green leafy vegetables their color, binds and stabilizes heme in the lumen, preventing genotoxicity. Additionally, data from our randomized controlled weight loss trial indicate increasing red meat consumption has deleterious effects on the gut microbiome, which is also implicated in colon cancer etiology. Because heme-containing foods are the richest sources of bioavailable iron and several other vitamins and minerals, mitigating their potential risks may be more beneficial than eliminating meat, poultry, fish and seafood in their entirety from the diet for risk reduction. This feasibility study will begin to explore the research question: Will adding chlorophyll-rich green leafy vegetables to the diet prevent the deleterious effects of heme-rich red meat on the human host and microbiome? The investigators will randomly assign 50 adults at increased risk of colorectal adenoma to a block randomized crossover study with two 4-week dietary regimens in which: 1) participants will be provided with frozen green leafy vegetables and counseled to consume a high chlorophyll diet including 1 cup per day of cooked green leafy vegetables and normal meat (high heme) consumption; or 2) continue their normal high heme, low chlorophyll diet (control). A 4-week washout period encouraging habitual diet will be employed between the intervention periods and data will be collected at all four time points. This study is critical in translating preclinical findings and has the potential to open the door to new knowledge and standards of care in colon cancer prevention. This study is a required step to aid in the design of a larger RCT to determine whether increased green leafy vegetable consumption mitigates the negative effects of red meat on DNA damage, inflammatory cytokines and gut microbe composition. This could lead to equally beneficial dietary guidance for colon health that might be more easily attained by the general public through addition, rather than omission of specific foods.
This is a randomised controlled study aims to determine the oncological effectiveness of adjuvant HIPEC, using intraperitoneal Mytomicin C following a curative resection of a cT4 Colon cancer in preventing the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis in addition to the standard adjuvant systemic treatment.
