Filter by:The study is designed to examine whether colonoscopy using an EndoRings cap has a higher adenoma detection rate than conventional colonoscopy. Secondary end-points is to compare completion rate, completion time, complication rate and detection of malignancies. Half of the patients will be randomised to colonoscopy using cap and the other half to no cap.
It is a randomized controlled trial with tandem colonoscopy.Participants were randomized for use of either blue laser imaging or conventional White Light Colonoscopy on withdrawal method.comparison of detection and miss rates of BLI group Versus conventional White Light Colonoscopy.
This phase IIa trial studies how well aspirin works in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with colorectal adenoma. Aspirin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
For tough colic resection, evaluation of our practice for these lesions unresectable in monoblock and evaluation of the contribution of the hybrid technique EMR (mucosectomy dissection) /ESD (submucosal dissection)
This randomized phase II clinical trial studies how well MUC1 peptide-poly-ICLC adjuvant vaccine works in treating patients with newly diagnosed advanced colon polyps (adenomatous polyps). Adenomatous polyps are growths in the colon that may develop into colorectal cancer over time. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill polyp cells. MUC1 peptide-poly-ICLC adjuvant vaccine may also prevent the recurrence of adenomatous polyps and may prevent the development of colorectal cancer.
The coloscopy is considered as the gold standard for screening and resection of colorectal adenomas. However the literature reports that the rate of omitted adenoma is still high (24 to 41%). The development of the FUSE system (Endochoice, USA) allows a larger field of view with a projection onto 3 screens (330° vision). A pilot study and a randomized multicentre has demonstrated the feasibility with a significant improvement of the rate of detected adenomas. This first study in France concerning this technology has the objectives to demonstrate the feasibility in France, the safety and to compare the rate of detected adenomas with data of the literature.
Previous studies have shown geographic disparities in the detection of colorectal adenomas in Côte-d'Or, with an impact of the distance from the general practitioner and an ecological deprivation index (EDI). On the other hand, the extremely low detection rates for these lesions in everyday practice before the implementation of organized screening for colorectal cancer in the Côte-d'Or were shown. One of the aims of this screening is to reduce socio-geographic inequalities in access to care and prevention. Yet, participation in screening also varies depending on the socio-economic level. In this context, the Côte-d'Or Polyps Registry, the only body to have data for the pre-screening period (before 2003), will make it possible to determine whether the implementation of organized screening led to the elimination of socio-geographic disparities concerning the detection of adenomas.
Guaiac faecal occult blood testing (gFOBT) consistently demonstrates reductions in deaths from colorectal cancer of around 16% and gFOBT screening is now routine in all four countries of the United Kingdom. However, gFOBT has significant limitations and is associated with a substantial interval cancer rate in the region of 50 %, indicating a severe deficiency in sensitivity for cancer. Additionally, as the majority of colorectal cancers arise from pre-existing adenomas, it is important for colorectal screening programmes to detect adenomas in order to reduce the incidence of the disease as well as the associated mortality. Although gFOBT does detect some adenomas, most randomised trials have not demonstrated a reduction in colorectal cancer incidence. Also, FOBT screening tends to under-detect cancers in women and it is relatively insensitive for rectal cancer when compared with colon cancer. Single flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), between the ages of 55 and 65 years, has been shown to bring about a significant reduction in colorectal cancer mortality. In addition, and most importantly, after a period of four years a significant reduction in colorectal cancer incidence was observed. FS does not suffer from low specificity since false positives do not occur, and there is independent evidence that it is more sensitive than a single gFOBT. In addition, FS is ideally suited to detecting rectal cancers and adenomas, and it is unlikely that there would be a gender difference in the sensitivity. Single FS has not been compared with biennial FOBT and there is no information regarding the utility of FS in a population that has already been exposed to FOBT screening. It is hypothesised that offering a combination of gFOBT and FS would provide an enhanced screening algorithm that would be associated with better outcomes than gFOBT alone. In order to test this hypothesis a randomised evaluation pilot study of FS screening integrated into the current gFOBT Screening Programme, will be carried out in those around age 60, as this appears to be the age at which adenoma prevalence peaks.
The risk of CRC in families of patients with CRC is well established, but it is less well-defined for families of patients with adenomas. Screening recommendations to families when an index subject has an adenoma on colonoscopy are not clear. Previous studies demonstrating an increased CRC risk in close relatives of subjects with adenomas were mostly limited by the lack of a suitable comparison group, did not offer colonoscopy to all relatives or did not have verification on true status of adenoma history in the relatives. A systematic review has reported that most studies cited for risk of CRC in relatives with adenomas have not addressed the intended question. Currently International guidelines recommended screening colonoscopy in close relatives and at a younger age when there is a proband with an adenoma, however this recommendation has not been fully supported by all societies due to the lack of robust evidence. This gap in knowledge highlights the need of well-designed and adequately powered studies to estimate the risk of colorectal neoplasms in subjects who have first-degree relatives with adenomas. Up to 30% of average risk asymptomatic individuals 50 years or older will have at least one adenoma. Based on current guidelines, nearly half the population will be counseled to undergo a colonoscopy from 40 years old based on a positive family history of adenoma. This will have enormous burden on the healthcare system if screening is implicated in all these individuals. Secondly, not all adenomas carry the same risk. Large or villous adenomas are associated with a nearly 70% increased risk of CRC in first degree relatives (FDR) whereas small adenomas may be associated with a modest increased risk 19. It is therefore important to determine the risk of colorectal neoplasms in families of subjects with non-advanced adenomas to justify more intensive screening in these individuals. Investigators hypothesize that first-degree relatives of patients with non-advanced adenoma have an increased risk of both CRC and adenomas. Investigators aim to quantify this risk, and to identify other individual patient or neoplasm characteristics that may contribute to this increased risk. In addition, Investigators aim to determine molecular alteration profiles of colonic adenoma in siblings of patients with advanced neoplasm.
The study is aimed to determine the potential of volatile marker testing for identification of gastrointestinal cancers (in particular - colorectal and gastric cancers), the related precancerous lesions in the stomach and colon. The study will be addressing the role of confounding factors, including lifestyle factors, diet, smoking as well as addressing the potential role of microbiota in the composition of exhaled volatile markers.
