Filter by:The investigators hypothesize that abnormalities in thromboelastography (TEG) parameters in patients with liver, pancreas, biliary, esophageal, colorectal, and lung adenocarcinoma can serve as biomarkers for oncologic disease burden, cancer recurrence and overall survival as well as thrombotic and hemorrhagic post-operative complications. The investigators further hypothesize that there is histologic pathology correlates to pre-operative TEG abnormalities, and that it identifies patients with virulent tumor biology.
Chronic lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including lower abdominal pain, bowel habit change, bleeding per rectum, and abdominal bloating, are caused by functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) and organic intestinal disorders, including colorectal cancer and chronic colitis. The presence of alarming features, such as the age of onset older than 50 years, rectal bleeding, anemia, significant weight loss, and family history of colorectal cancer, indicates organic diseases, and colonoscopy should be required. However, using only alarming features may not be sufficiently accurate. For example, anemia or significant weight loss, which are highly specific for organic disorders, usually occur in late-stage diseases. Conversely, the parameters with high sensitivity, such as the age of onset after 50 years, have a low specificity; colonoscopy in these patients may not be urgent. Therefore, tests that can help discriminate organic from functional diseases are warranted. Immunochemical fecal occult blood tests (iFOBT) and fecal calprotectin (FC) are biomarkers that indicate organic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract and could help diagnose patients with lower GI symptoms more accurately.
This study is a clinical validation of Polydeep, a computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) and characterization (CADx) system. Polydeep Advance 1 is an unicentric prospective diagnostic tests trial with a paired study design. The hypothesis of the study is that Polydeep, a CAD system, is more sensitive than a blinded endoscopists for the detection of colorectal polyps in a high definition colonoscopy.
This study is a clinical validation of PolyDeep, a computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) and characterization (CADx) system. PolyDeep Advance 3 is a multicentric randomized clinical trial comparing high definition colonoscopy with PolyDeep assisted high definition colonoscopy. The hypothesis of the study is that the PolyDeep assisted colonoscopy increases the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR).
This study is a clinical validation of PolyDeep, a computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) and characterization (CADx) system. PolyDeep Advance 2 is a multicentric randomized clinical trial with a tandem colonoscopy design. The hypothesis of this study is that Polydeep assisted colonoscopy will reduce the number of missed adenomas in the first withdrawal.
The three main pathways of colorectal carcinogenesis are chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability (MSI) (15% of colorectal cancers =CRCs) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). MSI CRCs are associated with a better prognosis after curative surgery than CRCs without microsatellite instability (MSS). In contrast, MSI CRCs do not appear to benefit from adjuvant 5-FU chemotherapy, unlike patients with MSS CRCs. Nevertheless, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX seems to be retained. The identification of prognostic markers in this subgroup of patients is therefore essential to decide on adjuvant chemotherapy, the efficacy of which is currently debated in MSI CRC. To date, there are very few data concerning metastatic MSI CRC. Metastatic forms are rare (about 5% of metastatic CRCs), but are thought to be associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis. Nevertheless, data are very sparse and there are no data regarding the use of modern chemotherapies and targeted therapies in metastatic MSI CRC. Thus, it is important to characterize the chemosensitivity of metastatic forms. Clinical predictors of recurrence after curative CRC surgery are known but have only been studied in MSI CRC retrospectively. Similarly, many molecular and immunohistochemical factors, prognostic or predictive of response to adjuvant chemotherapy, have been recently identified in CRC (KRAS, BRAF, TP53, PI3KCA mutations, CIMP phenotype, SMAD4, immune response...). Most of these markers have been studied in all CRCs, but not specifically in the MSI CRC subgroup. All these prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers need to be better characterized in a large cohort of MSI CRCs.
The current study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of fruquintinib combined with HAIC in patients with advanced colorectal liver metastases who have failed second-line systemic standard treatment, in order to provide more survival opportunities for the second progression of advanced colorectal liver metastases.
AIO-KRK-0420 NeoBRAF is a single arm, multicenter, phase II trial with neoadjuvant encorafenib, binimetinib and cetuximab for patients with BRAF V600E mutated/pMMR localized colorectal cancer.
To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the ctDNA dual-target test kit in a large case-control cohort for the detection of colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas.
The Guangzhou Women's Health Cohort Study aims to explore the health trajectory and factors contributing to the health of women aged 35-64 in Guangzhou. Based on multiple population health registration data platforms, data of the cohort will provide information about the health of women across the lifespan, facilitating the decision-making process by local government . The cohort is progressing steadily, and the goal is to build a large women cohort covering 11 administrative districts of Guangzhou with a scale of 1 million by 2030.
