Filter by:Bevacizumab combined with fluorouracil-based chemotherapy is the first-line standard treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, some research show that the long-term survival benefit of patients in real world data is inferior to clinical trial. The reason may be related to the difference in follow-up strategy of patients in the real world. Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) are a kind of outcome indicators that directly measure and evaluate the disease and its consequences based on how the patient feels about his own health. In advanced cancer, quality of life (QoL) is a major treatment goal. And the electronic patient report outcome (ePRO) has become an effective method to capture the symptoms of patients, which can improve the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients. In order to observe whether ePRO can bring clinical benefits to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, this study aimed to compare the effects of ePRO and routine follow-up on the quality of life and prognosis of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who received first-line bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy. This is an open label, multicenter, randomized controlled prospective study of first-line bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with unretractable metastatic colorectal cancer.The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ePRO on quality of life and survival outcomes compared with routine follow-up.The study intends to start in February 2021 and end in June 2024.Patients were recruited for 12 months and followed up for 24 months.The study included a screening period (28 days before first-line treatment to 1 day before treatment) and an observation period (from the beginning of treatment to the end of the study).Day 1 (baseline) was defined as the first day of first-line bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy.About 338 patients will be enrolled in the study in China, and enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following two groups in a 1:1 ratio.

Colorectal cancer screening tests range from more invasive and very sensitive for polyps and cancer (colonoscopy) to less invasive and less sensitive (e.g., fecal immunochemical testing (FIT)). Screening rates go up when patients consider all these tests, not just colonoscopy. Informing patients about their options for CRC screening could produce higher quality decisions, improve the match between patient preferences and tests performed, and increase uptake of CRC screening. Decision aids (DAs) are a promising tool for accomplishing this goal. Also, precision CRC prevention - providing information about an individual's specific risk for CRC - has great promise to increase uptake and improve decision making. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing severe challenges to providing CRC screening and other prevention services. Health systems are trying to adapt, but these efforts have only begun and are poorly understood. Moreover, patient perceptions of disease risk and risk from COVID-19 are unknown.
A study investigating if analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can guide adjuvant treatment in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC)
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a personalised surveillance and intervention protocol for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) that have undergone (procto)colectomy.

The presence of a BRAFV600E mutation is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with mCRC and associated with a median overall survival (mOS) of approximately 12 to 14 months compared to 20 to 25 months for patients with BRAF wild-type tumours. After 1st line therapy, treatment outcomes with standard therapy are poor in patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC, with response rates (ORR) of ≤ 11%, a median progression-free survival (mPFS) between 1.8 and 2.8 months, and a mOS between 4.1 and 6.2 months. Failure to achieve adequate survival outcomes with standard treatment regimens in patients with BRAF-mutated mCRC has encouraged efforts to combine multiple targeted therapies: With 665 randomized patients, the BEACON CRC trial represents the largest trial and is currently the only phase III study in patients with BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC. BERING CRC - designed as a prospective (allowing initial retrospective documentation), longitudinal, non-interventional study - will investigate the real-world effectiveness, quality of life, safety and tolerability of encorafenib and cetuximab in BRAFV600E-mutant mCRC patients, who have received prior systemic therapy. Data from this study will contribute to a deeper understanding and characterization to the everyday use of encorafenib and cetuximab in a broader patient population in the German, Austrian, and Swiss routine setting.

The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about how tumors respond to radioembolization.
This study is to learn more about how diet affects the microbiome (bacteria and microorganisms) of the digestive system. Researchers want to learn if this, in turn, has an effect on if and how people then develop colorectal cancer.
