Filter by:This is an open, prospective, multi-center, single-arm phase II clinical study assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor and thymalfasin in patients with pMMR/MSS locally advanced middle and low rectal cancer.
Obesity worsens treatment outcomes in rectal cancer patients: the local resective approach could in fact be more difficult in obese patients due to limited surgical visibility and it has also been reported that high visceral adiposity determines an increased risk of recurrence after chemoradiotherapy neoadjuvant. Bariatric surgery has proved to be the best choice for the treatment of morbid obesity and related comorbidities and in this context, the intragastric balloon (IGB) represents a strategy characterized by a low rate of complications and good results in terms of weight loss. Therefore, the need to be able to offer obese patients suffering from rectal cancer the possibility of a better recovery perspective, alongside radical oncological surgery and neoadjuvant treatments, also a bariatric surgery such as the positioning of an intragastric balloon.
The SHAPERS study is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, pragmatic clinical trial, comparing standard-of-care neoadjuvant treatment options for older (i.e., ≥70 years) subjects with high-risk stage II and stage III rectal cancer.
The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for mortality, anastomotic leakage and other early and late postoperative complications, recurrence rate, cancer-specific survival, recurrence-free survival after colorectal surgery for patients with colorectal cancer depending on the localization of the tumor.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in newly diagnosed patients with resectable rectal cancer with lateral lymph node metastasis. This study aims to - further verify the safety and efficacy of FOLFOXIRI three-drug regimen - Using multiple omics techniques to identify and confirm specific molecular markers Participants will be treated with FOLFOXIRI three-drug combination regimen. Researchers will compare another group treated with conventional preoperative chemoradiotherapy to see if the experimental group is superior to the control group in terms of 3-year disease free survival, local recurrence rate, lateral lymph node positivity rate, and 5-year overall survival rate.
Whether to perform radical TME or salvage chemoradiotherapy after local resection of intermediate-risk T1 rectal cancer is still controversial. A study based on the National Cancer Data Center showed that, because of the need for organ preservation, rescue chemoradiotherapy after local resection of rectal cancer was used in 10% of patients with T1N0 tumors and in 40% of patients with T2N0 tumors. However, the local recurrence caused by non-TME surgery is still the focus of concern for clinicians and patients. Previous retrospective studies have shown that there is no significant difference in overall survival and disease free survival between salvage CRT group and salvage TME group for patients with early rectal cancer after local resection. Pathological pT2 after local resection is the only independent risk factor for disease-free survival. However, limited to a single center and small sample size, the recurrence caused by salvage radiotherapy and chemotherapy should still be alert. Given these concerns, there is an urgent need to identify a better treatment regimen that can ensure reliable oncologic outcomes after local resection. Therefore, with TME as the control group and salvage chemoradiotherapy as the experimental group, we conducted a prospective, randomized, multicenter, non-inferiority clinical trial of the treatment effect of patients with intermediate-risk T1 and clinical stage N0M0 rectal cancer after local resection, to provide high-level evidence-based medical evidence for the final choice of these two salvage treatment methods.
Chemoradiation therapy (CRT) followed by surgery is currently the standard of care to treat patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). CRT reduces local recurrences, but is associated with significant damage to the surrounding healthy tissue that can severely impact quality of life. Additionally, a proportion of patients (hardly) benefit from CRT. We aim to develop a diagnostic innovation, which can enable a more selective and thereby more effective use of the available therapies for rectal cancer patients. The objective of this study is to investigate whether patients can be identified who will response to CRT prior to start of the CRT in rectal cancer and therefore avoid possible severe side effects in patients who will not reponse on CRT.
(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.
Spectral CT is a rapidly expanding imaging modality that allows a reduction in iodine dose and irradiation compared to conventional scanning. It uses the difference in attenuation of the material according to the two different energy levels of the incident x-ray beams. The dual-energy scanner has a wide range of clinical applications, particularly in abdominal imaging.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy in treating locally advanced rectal cancer. To explore a new PD-1 inhibitor adjuvant chemotherapy model combined with radiotherapy to treat locally advanced rectal cancer.
