Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Its early clinical manifestations are often subtle, leading to late-stage diagnosis in about 30% of cases with distant metastases. Liver metastases are widespread and associated with poor prognosis, especially in terms of response to immunotherapy. Despite advancements in first- and second-line treatments, third-line therapies for advanced CRC remain limited, emphasizing the need for novel strategies. This prospective study evaluates the efficacy of combined therapy involving Sintilimab, Fruquintinib/Regorafenib, and radiotherapy in advanced CRC. The study cohort comprises patients with non-liver metastatic advanced CRC and those with liver metastases, each receiving tailored treatment protocols. The primary objectives are to assess progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment response rates. Subgroup analyses will focus on liver metastases to delineate their impact on treatment outcomes. The rationale for this study stems from the intricate interplay between immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiotherapy in CRC management. Previous data suggest a negative correlation between liver metastases and immunotherapy efficacy, necessitating a comprehensive approach integrating multiple treatment modalities. Radiotherapy, particularly stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), has shown promise in controlling liver tumors and modulating the tumor microenvironment, potentially enhancing immunotherapy responses. This study aims to provide valuable insights into optimizing third-line and subsequent therapies for advanced CRC by elucidating the efficacy and safety of this combined treatment approach. The findings may pave the way for personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual patient characteristics, ultimately improving clinical outcomes in this challenging disease setting.
The investigators evaluated and optimized the Metaverse multi-dimensional rehabilitation platform based on the use of the Metaverse multi-dimensional rehabilitation platform by colorectal cancer survivors and their families, and finally launched the Metaverse multi-dimensional rehabilitation platform.
Over the last ten years, the discovery of the mechanisms by which tumours escape the control of the immune system, and in particular the T lymphocyte response, has led to the emergence of new therapeutic strategies against cancer, such as the use of "immune checkpoint inhibitors" (ICI). The immune system plays a crucial role in controlling tumour proliferation, and involves several players. Schematically, after recognition of the MHC-peptide complex by the TCR, the T lymphocyte response is modulated by several activating or inhibiting co-stimulatory signals (or "checkpoints"). The balance of these different signals determines whether the T lymphocyte (LT) is activated, resulting in the destruction of the target cell, or whether the T lymphocyte is inhibited (anergy), inducing immune tolerance. By hijacking this system through the expression of inhibitory checkpoints on its surface, the tumour cell is able to evade the effector immune response (1). Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against inhibitory co-stimulatory molecules such as Programmed-cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) or their ligand Programmed-cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) have been developed to restore effective anti-tumour immunity. These ICIs have led to a major improvement in the prognosis of certain cancers, notably melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. However, the efficacy of ICIs varies from one cancer to another. In addition to the expression of PDL1 by the tumour and/or immune cells, and the mutational load, one of the primary factors predicting response to immunotherapy mentioned in several studies is microsatellite instability (MSI).
Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has gained widespread recognition among scholars and has gradually been promoted and popularized around the world. However, the development of NOSES is still in the exploratory stage and there is a lack of strong evidence from evidence-based medicine to support its feasibility and safety, which has greatly affected its clinical application and development. Based on this, at the call of Professor Xishan Wang, the Chinese NOSES Alliance conducted a large retrospective clinical study involving multiple centers. By summarizing the NOSES cases of nearly 100 centers in China, the study aims to clarify the current status of NOSES surgery in China. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis and summary was conducted by combining the basic information of NOSES patients, perioperative data, postoperative pathological data, and follow-up information to further demonstrate the safety and feasibility of NOSES in the treatment of colorectal cancer. This study also provides more real and objective evidence-based medicine support for the promotion and development of NOSES surgery.
This is a single-center exploratory clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of Oral Inulin in Combination With Fruquintinib Plus Sintilimab as Third- or Further-line Treatment in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
This study aims to develop a highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective blood assay for early detection of colorectal adenomas and cancer, using advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art biological analyses.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) once predominantly affected older individuals, but in recent years has witnessed a progressive increase in incidence among young adults. Once rare, early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC, that is, a CRC diagnosed before the age of 50) now constitutes 10-15% of all newly diagnosed CRC cases and it stands as the first cause of cancer-related death in young men and the second for young women. This study aims to detect EOCRC with a non-invasive test, using a blood-based molecular assay based on microRNA (ribonucleic acid)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of death in Croatia. An average of 3600 cases are diagnosed and an average of 2100 people die from the disease every year. Since 2007, Croatia has invited every man and woman aged 50-74 to participate in the home testing screening programme every two years. Currently only around 36% of the invited request the test-kit and 25% complete the home testing procedure, far below the target of 40-60%. The Croatian Institute of Public Health with technical support from World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe is undertaking a mixed-methods research study with the aim to increase the completion of colorectal cancer home testing and improve our knowledge of the barriers and drivers to do so. The study has a quantitative and a qualitative component: 1. Quantitative: testing the introduction of a reminder letter to encourage people to respond to the initial invite to participate in the CRC home test program and test which elements of a reminder letter improve response rates. The quantitative component consists of a four-arm reminder letter randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing no letter, standard letter, behaviorally informed letter, and behaviorally informed letter sent with a home testing kit to investigate the effectiveness of reminders in increasing uptake of home-testing for colorectal cancer. Recruitment and data collection for the reminder letter trial will be conducted utilizing the routine screening process and routinely collected screening data. 2. Qualitative: conducting in-depth interviews with people from the target population who did or did not respond to the CRC invite letter and reminder to better understand the barriers and drivers to participation. The qualitative component consists of 24 in-depth interviews (IDIs) conducted with members of the target population to identify barriers and drivers to completing colorectal cancer screening home-testing. Data collection for IDIs will be face-to-face, using discussion guides, and will be audio recorded. The audio-recordings will then be analyzed using a rapid analysis approach based on by the modified Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) framework.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of 166Ho-TARE followed by maintenance therapy with fluoropyrimidine and anti-EGFR or bevacizumab in liver-limited unresectable colorectal cancer patients, in terms of progression free rate 9- and 8-months for cohort A and B, respectively.
