Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health problem, with 44,872 new cases per year in France (3rd most common cancer), and 17,684 deaths (2nd cause of death from cancer). Colorectal cancer screening is used to detect early-stage cancers and precancerous lesions (adenomas). Detecting the disease at an early stage enables curative treatment, which is less aggressive and less costly than treatment at an advanced stage. Fecal occult blood screening has proven its effectiveness in the general population, with a 14% to 16% reduction in colorectal cancer mortality, and even a drop in incidence with 2nd generation immunological tests (FIT). In France, organised colorectal cancer screening in the general population has been in place since 2009 and since 2015 has been based on the use of a quantitative immunological test (OC-Sensor®). This test is offered every 2 years to men and women aged between 50 and 74 with an average risk of developing CRC, i.e. nearly 19.7 million people. The disadvantages of the current screening test are: - Insufficient sensitivity, although the FIT is more sensitive than the old guaiac test, its sensitivity is not perfect. - Insufficient specificity: many colonoscopies are performed for nothing. This unjustifiably exposes many patients to endoscopic complications and incurs an unnecessary cost to society. - The participation rate in screening is too low. Colorectal cancer screening participation was 32.1% in 2017/2018, below the European minimum efficiency target of 45% and far below the 71% observed in our Dutch neighbours. Several non-invasive alternatives for colorectal cancer screening are being explored and proposed. Among these techniques, serum protein assay has shown its interest in terms of screening for adenomas and colorectal cancers. The assay of 7 serum proteins (which will be the subject of a patent application in 2020), by ELISA test, is the subject of this study. These results need to be confirmed in a prospective study, with comparison to the gold standard: total colonoscopy. If these results are confirmed, this would make it possible to develop a new non-invasive method of colorectal cancer screening, which would have several advantages over the current test: better sensitivity than the FIT (estimated at about 38% for the detection of advanced adenomas and 88% for colorectal cancers) which would limit the number of false negatives and decrease the number of colorectal cancers discovered at a late stage, a better specificity which would limit the number of false positives and decrease the number of unnecessary colonoscopies, a better participation in the screening test, and a reasonable cost with a technique that can be routinely performed in many centres. Prior to this prospective clinical study, a pre-clinical calibration phase of the test (combined dosage of the 7 candidate proteins) is necessary, which is the subject of the present project.
Retrospective multicentre study. All patients with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) and operated for colorectal cancer (CRC) between 01/01/2010 and 01/01/2020 will be included in the dataset. Data will include preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative variables, with long term follow up when feasible. The study will focus on a comparison between patients treated with total proctocolectomy (TPC) and patients treated with subtotal colectomy (STC) or segmental resection (SR). Primary endpoints will be oncologic outcomes, postoperative morbidity and mortality. Secondary endpoints include quality of life (QoL).
To determine the efficacy and safety of surufatinib, toripalimab and chemotherapy in second-line RAS/BRAF mutant and MSS colorectal cancer
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic colectomy and anterior resection for patients with colon/upper rectal cancer (CuRC) in day surgery center. Patients with colon or upper rectal cancer who meet the standards of day surgery will be enrolled, and laparoscopic radical resection of tumor will be performed in day surgery center. Perioperative outcomes of these patients and reasons for transferring to inpatient ward will be recorded prospectively.
This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with PARP inhibitor, AZD5305, alone, or in combination with anti-cancer agents is safe, tolerable, and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
SNB-101 is a novel nano-particle formulation of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan(CPT-11). Study SNB101P01 is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase 1 study of SNB 101 with its active ingredient SN-38, in participants with advanced solid tumors. Dose escalation will occur using a modified accelerated titration design (ATD). All participants will receive SNB 101 in different cohorts. SNB 101 will be administered intravenously to participants on day 1 and day 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first. A Safety Review Committee will determine dose escalation, de-escalation, and modification and the MTD/RP2D based on DLTs and other safety information.
ARGONAUT is a longitudinal, prospective, observational study that will enroll up to 5,000 advanced-stage cancer patients of diverse racial backgrounds to collect data used to develop precision microbiome medicines and for the identification of clinically actionable cancer-specific biomarkers to guide therapeutic decisions. Four types of solid tumor cancers will be profiled including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and pancreatic cancer. Healthy control subjects without a cancer diagnosis will also be studied, comprised of individuals at high risk for CRC and healthy individuals at low risk for CRC. Risk assessment will be based on family history or past neoplastic findings during CRC screening. Data collected from this study will be used to develop the most effective new therapies, via microbiome optimization, all to the benefit of patients and the physicians treating them. Stool and blood samples will be collected longitudinally and analyzed to determine the impact of gut microbiome composition and function on the immune system and efficacy of the treatment. Currently enrolling the CRC, high risk, and low risk cohorts. Subjects who meet the entry criteria will provide up to 5 samples each of blood and stool over a 2-year period. Approximately 10%-20% of the subjects will provide colon tissue samples, either from research biopsies during Standard of Care (SOC) screening colonoscopy or retained surgical tissue from colectomy. Electronic health records will be obtained at various times for up to 8 years, to collect tumor imaging results and any other updated medical data, with no additional samples collected. In select cases, stool and blood samples will be collected beyond 2 years.
Screening programs have been associated with a substantial reduction in colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality through endoscopic resection of preneoplastic lesions and detection of early-stage invasive cancers. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared as a pandemic the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2. Since then, the SARS-CoV-2 have never stopped spreading, causing an unprecedented situation with highly restrictive considerations to be adopted by the majority of countries worldwide. Health-care facilities have been making an enormous effort to assist patients affected by COVID-19, while adopting measures to maintain a safe environment for patients and healthcare professionals. As a result, the usual workflow in endoscopy departments changed dramatically, leading to an increase in cancelled procedures, probably increasing the future burden of Colorectal Cancer due to delays in diagnosis.
Hepatobiliary tumors have a poor prognosis and high individual heterogeneity, the patient with hepatobiliary tumors even accepted radical surgery, the postoperative recurrence rate is still high. Therefore, it is of great significance to find important prognostic markers to improve patient prognosis and formulate new treatment plans. In recent years, targeted therapy and immunotherapy make cancer treatment enter a new field, However, tumor heterogeneity is the greatest challenge in cancer therapeutics and biomarkers discovery. In this study, we collected a wide rang of patients' information, including photos of patients' face, physical strength and nutrition indicators, blood ,stool and pathological tissue specimens from tumor patients, then Multi-omics testing were applied to Looking for novel therapeutic targets and prognostic markers to predict patient response to treatment. Clinicians choose the best treatment plan for the patient based on the test results to improve the patient's survival time and quality of life.
Introduction It has been shown that some quality indicators in endoscopy can be improved through educational interventions. There are marked differences in the proportion of incomplete polypectomies among endoscopists. The effectiveness of measures to improve it has not been evaluated. Objective The main objective is to evaluate whether a training intervention or the notification of the individual proportion of incomplete polypectomies (those in which post-polypectomy biopsies of the resection margin show tissue other than normal mucosa) can improve this proportion. As secondary objectives, we will compare the proportion of fragmented polypectomies and adverse events. We will evaluate the factors associated with incomplete excision or failed cold polypectomy, as well as the individual evolution of the participants. Methods Non-pharmacological clinical trial involving endoscopists with> 1 year of experience and patients scheduled for colonoscopy. After each polypectomy, 2 additional biopsies will be taken and evaluated centrally by a blind pathologist. In a first phase, the basal rate of the participants will be evaluated. After it, the endoscopists will receive a course on endoscopic polypectomy and the other their rate of complete resection. The number of polyps required will vary depending on the number of endoscopists The primary objective will be compared using logistic regression models based on generalized estimating equations (GEE), taking into account the within-subject correlation.
