Filter by:The LIVACOR - Trial is a European wide, randomized controlled, open-label, multicenter trial. Patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) and primary colorectal tumor are considered eligible and will be randomized between minimally invasive (MI) combined or staged colorectal resection (all colectomies, including high anterior resection) and liver resection of up to three segments.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been identified as the cause of the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which was initially reported in December 2019 in China and has since rapidly spread worldwide. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a detrimental effect of the national health care system, causing a drastic reduction of the screening programs for colorectal cancer and requiring the redistribution of the hospital resources from elective surgery to the care of patients with SARS-Cov_2 infection requiring admission.
Basing on the strong evidence from former researches, patients with CRLM can benefit from the treatment of bevacizumab combined with sencond-line chemotherapy. Recently, although with the popularization of RFA, the role that RFA plays in the long term survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is still confused. In this designed, randomized, controlled, prospective, and open clinical trial, the effectiveness of RFA combined with second-line chemotherapy + bevacizumab on unresectable CRLM is going to be evaluated compared with that of second-line chemotherapy + bevacizumab. After screened by inclusion and exclusion criteria, the eligible subjects will be randomly allocated into the experimental group-with the treatment of RFA + second-line chemotherapy + bevacizumab and control group-with the treatment of second-line chemotherapy + bevacizumab equally.
Cancer immunotherapy with immunostimulatory antibodies targeting the CTLA-4 or PD-1/PD-L1 pathways has demonstrated its efficacy in variable proportions of cancer. For metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) it appeared that only the small subgroup of patients with MSI-H tumors (microsatellite instability-high phenotype) had a clinically meaningful response to the anti-PD-1- L1 antibodies. In the majority group of non-MSI-H CRC (90-95% of patients), current research expect that additional means would be able to render the tumor "immunogenic" (like MSI-H CRC) and increase the intratumoral immune infiltrate which is the prerequisite to observe a benefit from PD1-PD-L1 inhibitors. Combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors and procedures that increase intratumoral immune responses, such as targeted therapy, are actively explored.
The main aim of this observational, prospective cohort study is to assess associations of diet and other lifestyle factors with colorectal cancer recurrence, survival and quality of life.
This is a multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, phase II-III, superiority study that randomises patients with isolated resectable colorectal peritoneal metastases in a 1:1 ratio to receive either perioperative systemic therapy and cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC (experimental arm) or upfront cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC alone (control arm).
