Filter by:Preoperative radiation with single agent chemotherapy as sensitizer is the standard care of locally advanced rectal cancer. Local irradiation significantly increases surgical complications and impairs quality of life. Combination chemotherapy alone seems promising and provides similar benefit to chemoradiation as neoadjuvant therapy. Early administration of systemic therapy is also proved beneficial for long-term survival. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of chemotherapy alone with short-term modified FOLFOXIRI or long-term mFOLFOX with standard chemoradiation as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the number of lymph nodes retrieved with or without the use of intraoperative fluorescence lymphography in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.
How to reduce the complications of perineal wound after abdominoperineal resection (APR) has always been a hot topic in the medical field.To reduce the complications of perineal wound and the primary healing of perineal wound must meet the two principles of "unobstructed drainage" and " reduced tension closure".This concept is similar to the concepts of closure of enterostomy in rectal cancer patients. It was reported that use of cross-stitch closure can significantly reduce complications of closure of enterostomy. So the investigator ever used the "cross" closure to reconstruct the perineal wound of APR, which was really decrease the complications of perineal wound. However, more clinical trails was needed to confirm the conclusion.
A randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the short and long term outcomes of left colic artery preservation for the treatment of Rectal Cancer
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether injection of carbon nanoparticle as a lymph node tracer before neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in rectal cancer can increase lymph node yield after surgery compared which do not inject.
Purpose: The "Total Mesorectal Excision" (TME) is the standard surgical technique for the treatment of rectal cancer. Up to 50% of sexual dysfunction is described after TME and up to 30% of urinary dysfunction. The main objective of the study is to compare pre- and post-TME sexual dysfunction according to the approach of the inferior mesenteric vessels, directly on the IMA or from the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) to the IMA. Methods: Multicenter, prospective, controlled and randomized study of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, who will be randomized into two groups depending on the approach of the inferior mesenteric vessels. The main variable is pre and postoperative sexual dysfunction. The sample to be included will be 90 patients, 45 per group.
Total mesorectal excision (TME) has been prevailingly accepted as a crucial surgical intervention within the latest oncological therapeutic regime for mid-low rectal cancer. However, surgical dissection under the restricted pelvic anatomical structure, added by obesity and many other general factors, remains challenging for classical open and laparoscopic patterns, particularly in male cases. The introduction of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) offers an optimal pattern for the surgical resection of mid-low rectal cancer, circumventing the conventional anatomical limits while bringing forward considerable advantages by direct dissection. Noteworthy, the surgical techniques of TaTME is initially established, with the mortality/morbidity and the oncological safety unverified. The studies that focus on the comparison between TaTME and laparoscopic TME (LaTME) remain sparse. Therefore, the features of TaTME, both in short and long terms, await further consolidation by clinical trials. Herein, this single centered, interventional study protocol is established to collect initial clinical data on both the safety and efficacy of the TaTME in comparison with LaTME in East Chinese patients with mid-low rectal cancer.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and total mesorectum excision (TME) has become the standard therapy for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) to reduce the local recurrence rate, however, no improvement of distant metastasis rate was observed, and the incidence of postoperative local recurrence and distant metastasis can reach more than 25%. It is still a challenge for us to improve the RO resection rate of locally advanced rectal cancer and reduce the incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis.
Rectal cancer is one of the frequent malignant neoplasms ,Total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the gold standard treatment for middle and lower rectal cancers. Laparoscopic TME still be difficult in patients with low rectal tumors, narrow pelvic anatomy, male sex or high body mass index . Difficult visualization of the pelvic anatomy along with the limitation of rigid laparoscopic instruments may affect the quality of oncological outcomes and increase the risks of injuries during surgery. A down to up approach via transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) technique may overcome these problems
This research plans to collect rectal cancer patients after sphincter-preserving surgery from 14 institutions in China mainland, observe the incidence and risk factors about bowel dysfunction after operation.
