About 20-25 percent of all colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed with International Union Against Cancer (UICC) stage IV disease. The benefit of primary tumor resection in the palliative context is therefore of high concern. However, empirical evidence from randomized and observational studies is inconsistent. The objective of the present study is to compare the survival of palliative stage IV colorectal cancer patients selected for primary tumor resection and systemic treatment (PTR+SYST) to patients with systemic treatment only (SYST).
The overall aim of the study is to evaluate the preliminary effect and feasibility of a dyadic intervention on mutuality, psychological strengths (i.e., illness cognition and dyadic coping), psychological distress, and QoL outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer and spouses. The colorectal cancer couples will be randomly allocated to the intervention group to receive a 6-week dyadic intervention, or to the control group to receive the usual care provided by the clinical team in the hospital.
over the past decade colon cancer has emerged as the second most deadly and the third most common type of cancer in the world with increasing incidence in Egypt due to life style and diet change. some research showed relation between colon cancer recurrence and advanced tumor staging. To investigators knowledge, this is the first time to be done in Zagazig University. Data was collected from records in a retrospective cohort study
Novel treatment modalities like targeted therapies and Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionised the therapeutic landscape in oncology and hematology, significantly improving outcomes even in clinical contexts in which little improvement had been observed for decades such as metastatic melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoproliferative neoplasms such as chronic lymphoid leukemia or Hodgkin lymphoma. However, major issues remain unsolved, given the frequent occurrence of primary or secondary resistance and the still incomplete understanding of the physiopathology of adverse events, which represent a major cause of morbidity and treatment interruption and often remain difficult to treat and diagnose. In this complex landscape, identifying the best treatment option for each patient remains challenging. For both targeted therapies and Immune checkpoint inhibitors, several biomarkers have been reported, but their implementation in clinical practice is still uncommon, and most of the decision-making process remains based on purely clinical considerations or constraints dictated by the regulatory bodies. Obstacles to biomarker-driven decision making are manifold and include insufficient understanding of the underlying biology, lack of strong evidence on their predictive power and limited tumor sampling, which may be circumvented by non-invasive techniques such as liquid biopsies.
Several randomised studies have shown that the addition of low-dose Simethicone to the bowel preparation was sufficient to reduce the presence of bubbles during colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a bowel preparation containing low-dose Simethicone on bubble formation. Patients and Methods This prospective, real-life, phase 4 study was conducted from February 2020 to May 2021, in five private endoscopy centres, among adult patients undergoing a colonoscopy. Clinical, endoscopic and histological parameters were collected on e-CRF. The primary endpoint was the measurement of bubble formation in the various colon segments.
Lymph nodes are very important immune organs in the human body and play an important role in the physiological and pathological activities of the body, especially in anti-tumor immunity. The role of regional draining lymph nodes in the development of colorectal cancer is still unknown. In this study, the role of lymph nodes in the development of colorectal cancer was investigated through multicenter and multi-omics data.
Tumor recurrence significantly affects survival rates following the local resection of submucosal colorectal cancers (T1 CRC). Despite this, there are currently no reliable biomarkers established to predict recurrence in T1 CRC. This study seeks to improve the prediction of recurrence-free survival in individuals who have survived T1 CRC.
This study will develop an assay to predict disease recurrence in patients with stage II/III CRC after receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, using genome-wide DNA methylation.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and resection of preneoplastic lesions, allowing the prevention of colon cancer. A colonoscopy is more efficient with proper preparation of the colon, as it allows for a higher rate of adenoma detection and cecal intubation. In routine practice, up to 30% of colonoscopies are poorly prepared and 11% of patients do not show up for their appointment. Adenomas not visualized in the initial colonoscopy due to poor preparation reached 68% and the rate of undetected cancers was 66.7%. A proper colon cleanse is conditioned by different factors; among them, failure to comply with the diet and take laxatives poses 5 times the risk of having a deficient colon preparation. The purpose of our study is the design and implementation of an app that facilitates the preparation of colonoscopy and evaluates its impact on compliance with diet and laxative intake.
