Filter by:Colorectal cancer is a common but preventable condition, and increasing colorectal cancer screening is one of the most impactful public health contributions in the field of gastroenterology. Text messaging is a simple, cheap, and rapid method to reach patients that may improve adherence to colonoscopy appointments as well as simplify the process of bowel preparation. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot bidirectional text messaging intervention on attendance for screening/surveillance colonoscopy and bowel preparation quality at an urban VA hospital. The goal is to improve adherence to colonoscopy among patients who are due for a repeat colonoscopy.
The goal of this observational study is to increase genetic education and genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk among cancer survivors. The study objectives are to: 1. Finalize the development and optimize usability of the CATALYST digital intervention (i.e., also known as relational assistant (RA)) 2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a streamlined cancer genomic care delivery model in cancer survivors. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: the RA intervention vs. enhanced usual care (EUC) 3. Assess GC and GT uptake and conduct a process evaluation to measure barriers/facilitators to GC, GT and use of the CATALYST intervention and engagement with the RA.
This is a multi-center, single-arm study to investigate the efficacy and safety of liposomal irinotecan+5-FU/LV+ bevacizumab as second-line therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer in Chinese population.
Background: Recent investigations have suggested that sidedness is associated with the prognosis of colon cancer patients. The role of sidedness in surgical outcome is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the different clinical characteristics and associated postoperative outcomes of sidedness in colon cancer. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study using the multi-institutional, nationally validated database of the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) from 2009 to 2013. Sidedness groups including right sided and left sided colon cancer were created according to the associated diagnosis and procedure codes. Postoperative mortality, morbidity, overall complication, and length of total hospital stay were analyzed after using a propensity score matching method.
The latest research has found that the use of positron-labeled FAP inhibitors for targeting FAP has achieved very good results in displaying tumor stroma, especially for tumors with poor FDG PET/CT observation, such as liver cancer, renal cancer, and gastric cancer. Although the studies were based on small sample data or case reports, they achieved significantly better results than 18F-FDG [13,15-17]. For patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, using FAPI PET/CT and FDG PET/CT imaging may have guiding significance for your treatment. If distant metastasis is found, information such as the location, size, and quantity of metastasis can be provided to provide objective imaging information for further treatment; We will promptly provide detailed information to you and your supervising physician, who will guide your personalized treatment. The drugs used have undergone strict quality inspection, and currently, no adverse reactions have been found in multiple medical institutions both domestically and internationally. If you experience any discomfort, new changes in your condition, or any unexpected circumstances during the study period, regardless of whether it is related to the study or not, you should promptly notify your doctor or contact our research leader. He/she will make a judgment and provide appropriate medical treatment. We will provide a certain proportion of compensation for any additional visits and expenses incurred during this examination. The entire research process is under the supervision of relevant departments of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. If you encounter any questions during the research process, you can consult the research doctor.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the feasibility of a new mode of chemotherapy and bevacizumab induction therapy combined with immunotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with initially unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To explore the efficacy and safety of this treatment mode 2. Try to study treatment benefit the characteristics of the crowd Participants will combined with immunotherapy after chemotherapy and bevacizumab induction therapy.
The objective of this pilot study is to compare the effectiveness of mailed outreach of two stool based tests, Cologuard and the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in screening eligible adults ages 45-49 receiving care at the University of California San Diego Health system.
The goal of this observational study was to assess the degree of agreement between the endoscopic and anatomopathological diagnosis of sessile serrated colorectal lesions in adult patients undergoing colonoscopy in Hospital Sírio-Libanes. The main questions it aimed to answer were: - The degree of agreement between endoscopic and anatomopathological diagnosis of sessile serrated colorectal lesions by calculating the Kappa Value of agreement. - To establish the detection rate of sessile serrated lesions and adenomas in the Endoscopy Department at Hospital Sírio-Libanês. - To evaluate the degree of agreement between endoscopic and anatomopathological diagnosis of sessile serrated colorectal lesions based on the resection method. - To assess the accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of endoscopic diagnosis of serrated lesions compared to anatomopathological diagnosis. The data were prospectively collected through a form specifically designed for this project, that was completed immediately after the examination by the performing colonoscopist. All patients enrolled in this study agreed to participate in it and signed an informed consent form prior to the colonoscopy.
Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by chronic non-bloody watery diarrhoea and a macroscopically normal colonic mucosa upon endoscopic exploration (colonoscopy). The diagnosis is performed by microscopic examination of mucosal biopsies that reveal specific histopathological change. Between 4-20% of patients with chronic non-bloody diarrhoea who undergo colonoscopy with serial biopsies are diagnosed with MC. It has long been hypothesized that the microbiome plays a key role in the pathogenesis of MC. In patients with collagenous colitis, faecal stream diversion results in inflammation and histological remission, followed by disease relapse after intestinal transit is reconstructed. Moreover, studies carried out with faecal samples obtained after colonoscopy have demonstrated microbiome changes (reduced alpha diversity and higher microbial dysbiosis index) in patients with active MC. To avoid potential bias due to the effect of colonic lavage prior to colonoscopy in microbiota composition, the researchers of the present study previously evaluated the microbiome in faecal samples obtained before the diagnostic colonoscopy in patients with active MC. The results confirmed a reduced alpha diversity in diarrhoea groups; however, there were no differences between MC, bile-acid diarrhoea and functional diarrhoea. The microbial dysbiosis index was significantly higher in MC compared to the other diarrheal groups, but no bacterial species showed a significantly different relative abundance. On the other hand, the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) or adenoma seems to be reduced in MC compared to controls. Growing evidence suggests microbial dysbiosis is a crucial environmental factor in the initiation of precancerous lesions of CRC such as adenomas. The objective of the current multicentric prospective study is to assess the differences in the mucosa adherent intestinal microbiome between patients with MC, non-MC chronic diarrhoea, healthy controls and patients with advanced colon adenomas. In addition to the study of the microbiome, sociodemographic variables, history of drug usage, diets and specific characteristics of diarrhoea will be collected. The hypothesis of the present study is that CM presents a specific mucosa adherent intestinal bacterial profile that may be relevant in the pathogenesis of the disease and that, additionally, may also play a protective role against the development of CRC and adenomas.
