Filter by:The goal of this observational trial with a nested randomized controlled trial is to investigate a selective approach of defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection in rectal cancer patients. The primary outcome is a hybrid so-called textbook outcome; stoma-free survival at two years without major LARS, reflecting a functionally appropriate outcome after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Secondary outcomes include anastomotic leakage, postoperative mortality, reinterventions, stoma-related complications, quality of life measures, LARS, and permanent stoma rate up to two years after index surgery.
This single-arm trial will explore the efficacy and safety of long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiation with liposomal irinotecan and capecitabine guided by UGT1A1 status in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
This study is being done to answer the following questions: Is the chance of rectal cancer responding the same if chemotherapy alone is given before limited surgery compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together before limited surgery? If radiation therapy is not given, is quality of life better?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about whether it is safe to omit dissection of the No.253 lymph nodes in mid and low rectal cancer surgery. The main question it aims to answer is that if it is possible to achieve the same long-term survival with and without the dissection of the No.253 lymph node in mid and low rectal cancer surgery. Participants will underwent laparoscopic rectal radical resection with or without the dissection of the No.253 lymph node.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of erectile rehabilitation with Sildenafil, in men treated with neoadjuvant proctectomy and radiotherapy for rectal cancer, in preventing long-term erectile dysfunction at 12 months post-operatively.
The gold standard treatment for locally advanced, non-metastatic rectal cancer includes neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT), total mesorectal excision (TME) and adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). The primary goal of treatment is to achieve local disease control, reduce tumour volume and minimise the risk of distant metastases. While this multimodal treatment approach has offered improvements in local control and sphincter preservation, it has had little effect on distant recurrence and overall survival. We aim to compare NACRT and TME using the following endpoints: Primary -->To compare the effects neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for T3 rectal cancer on overall survival. Secondary --> To compare the effects neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NARCT) and total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for cT3 rectal cancer on clinical outcomes: - Clinical complete response (cCR) - Pathological complete response (pCR) - Disease-free survival (DFS) - Organ preservation - Overall morbidity / mortality - Treatment-related morbidity / mortality - Peri-operative outcomes
The goal of this interventional pilot trial is to confirm that Maastro endoluminal HDR ( High Dose Radiation) contact brachytherapy boosting is feasible and may increase the chance of functional organ sparing of the rectum in patients with rectal cancer. Participants will be treated with chemoradiotherapy and an endoluminal boost with the Maastro applicator.
The purpose of this study is to see which participants have a better treatment response using PET/MRI imaging to study the removed tumor, after they have received a total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). The treatment choice of long course chemo-radiotherapy treatment will be determined by institutional policy. The researchers will also be looking at whether this study could significantly improve the future management and quality of life of rectal cancer patients.
In this protocol the investigators aim to overcome hepatic-pulmonary metastases-induced resistance to immunotherapy through high dose radiation therapy (SBRT) targeted to the metastases themselves, aiming, when possible, to ablate all macroscopic disease in these organs.
(1) To evaluate the oncological effects of Treatment of low locally advanced rectal cancer with radiotherapy removal TNT plus neoadjuvant therapy TNT plus mode on TRG, Anal sphincter preservation surgery rate / rectal preservation surgery rate, cCR rate, pCR rate and other oncological effects in patients with middle and low LARC; (2) Evaluate the R0 resection rate, LARS score, urination function and sexual function score, local recurrence rate, and 3-year DFS and OS of Treatment of low locally advanced rectal cancer with radiotherapy removal TNT plus neoadjuvant therapy TNT plus mode, resolve the current dispute about the Treatment of low locally advanced rectal cancer with radiotherapy removal TNT plus neoadjuvant therapy TNT treatment mode of LARC, provide a new mode for LARC treatment, and hopefully rewrite the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for rectal cancer.
