Filter by:Purpose: To assess the impact of taxes, warnings, and a combination of taxes and warnings on US adults' decisions to purchase products that contain red meat in an online grocery store. Procedures (methods): Participants will be recruited from Prime Panels (an online panel research company). Following online consent, participants will be assigned to one of four trial arms: 1) Control (no warning and no tax), 2) Warnings (all products that contain red meat have a health warning and environmental warning), 3) Tax (30% tax on products that contain red meat), and 4) Combined warning and tax (all products that contain red meat will have the two warnings and a 30% tax). Then, participant will enter an online grocery store reflecting their assigned arm. The participant will be instructed to complete a shopping task in the online grocery store. After completing the shopping task, participants will be redirected to an online survey and answer a series of questions about the shopping task, labels (excluding tax and control groups), and taxes (excluding warning and control groups). Questions will also include standard demographic and health related variables.
Liver metastases are present in 15-25% of patients with colorectal cancer at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor, which is defined as synchronous liver metastases. Treatment for the potential cure of this disease includes surgical resection of both the primary tumor and liver metastases. The liver first approach was described by Mentha for patients with asymptomatic rectal tumors with with initially unresectable or borderline resectable liver metastases. There is little data in the scientific literature on how many patients scheduled for this strategy complete both surgeries and/or undergo the full chemo/radiation therapy.
This is a pilot feasibility study on high risk patients due to frailty and comorbidity who have early stage colon cancer (UICC 1). We will use a novel resection technique with expected less risk of complications called the Combined Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery (CELS). After the histopathologic evaluation. Patients will be placed in either low risk or high risk group. Depending on this, they will be followed for 3 years or referred to standard resection
The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the performance of the Shared Decision Making Process scale in a sample of patients who have received a decision aid about the decision to screen or not screen for breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer.
The goal of the study is to examine whether a shared decision making intervention improves decision making about colon cancer screening for patients who had their colonoscopy delayed or postponed due to the COVID pandemic. Eligible patients (n=800) will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control arm. A subset will be surveyed about 6-8 weeks post intervention to measure shared decision making, their intention to follow through with screening, and their decisional conflict. Study staff will conduct medical chart review to track receipt of colon cancer screening within 6 months. The statistician will test whether patients in the intervention arm report more shared decision making, less decisional conflict, higher intention to follow through on screening and have higher screening rates compared to those in the control arm.
The purpose of CLOVER is to utilize Epic Healthy Planet to increase adherence to United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations in adults age 50 and older.
CR-POSSUM is one of the most used surgical scores to predict mortality after colorectal surgery. Its main drawback is the requirement of intraoperative variables, whose collection is time-consuming and prevents from obtaining a purely preoperative risk assessment. The primary aim of the study is to develop a new surgical score using preoperative parameters to predict 30-day mortality after colon cancer surgery in the elderly population. The secondary objective is to analyze its efficacy compared to CR-POSSUM.
The objective of this study was to assess survival trends in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer
Surgery is the primary treatment for colon cancer. However, the rate of recurrence or metastasis in colon cancer can be as high as 30%, even in stages 1 and 2 . Most colon cancer-related deaths are caused by metastatic disease . Many patients with colon cancer harbour micrometastases and disseminated tumour cells at the time of surgery . Whether the micrometastases develop into clinically significant metastases depends on the immune system's ability to eradicate them.The aim of the study is to declare the effect of epidural-intravenous based anesthetic technique on anti-tumor immunity and in comparison to epidural inhalational based anesthetic technique in patients undergoing open surgical resection of colon cancer.
This study aims to estimate the effects of nutritional interventions on the improvement of nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) among gastrointestinal patients in Vietnam
