Filter by:The purpose of this study is to show that tailored treatment based on local excision can expand the target of non-radical treatment in ycT2-3N0M0 patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for low rectal cancer and that the oncologic safety is not inferior to that of total mesorectal excision.
To explore whether the application of irinotecan under the guidance of UGT1A1 gene in neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer could improve the clinical efficacy in the real world.
In patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), preoperative chemo-radiotherapy (CTRT) is considered the standard of care. Preoperative CTRT approach often results in a significant tumor downstaging and local control, with evidence of complete pathological response (pCR) rate of about 15% in high volume institutions. In high-risk LARC a new strategy called total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has emerged, in which systemic chemotherapy with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (RAPIDO trial) or with the triplet FOLFIRINOX (as was used in the PRODIGE 23 study) is incorporated before or after the administration of short-course RT or neoadjuvant CTRT and prior to surgery. However, given the fact that TNT may represent an overtreatment for a subset of patients, additional therapeutic strategies are warranted to improve the outcomes also in patients with lower risk that are not good candidate for a TNT. In the era of personalized medicine, tumor molecular profiling may lead to the identification of therapeutic targets for pharmacological intervention potentially useful to enhance treatment outcomes. O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) repairs DNA damage induced by alkylating agents and MGMT inactivation due to promoter methylation confers enhanced sensitivity to alkylating agents such as temozolomide (TMZ). TMZ has modest activity in patients with MGMT-methylated pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer and responses are restricted to tumors with complete MGMT loss by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and microsatellite stable (MSS) status. Both capecitabine and temozolomide induces deoxythymidine triphosphate thymidine pool depletion might induce deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-double strand breaks and eventually apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. On the basis of such evidences, there is a strong biological and clinical rationale for testing the addition of TMZ to capecitabine-based CTRT in patients with MGMT silenced and MSS technically resectable LARC. The aim of this trial is investigating whether the addition of TMZ to standard concurrent capecitabine-based long-course chemoradiation may increase pCR rate as compared to historical control in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer not candidate to TNT and molecularly selected for the presence of MGMT silencing and microsatellite stable status.
The aim of this cohort study is to record, evaluate and compare the surgical, oncological as well as the functional outcome and Quality of life after mesorectal excision for rectal cancer
Prospectively Investigate the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant Bevacizumab + chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) combined with short-course radiotherapy (25Gy/5Fx) for RAS mutant-type locally advanced rectal cancer
This study is a single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study, and the purpose of this study was to compare the pathological complete response rate (PCR) of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with short-course radiotherapy sequential Tislelizumab combined with CapeOX (group A) versus short-course radiotherapy sequential CapeOX (group B). A total of 100 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will be enrolled in the study. These patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group (group A) and the control group (group B) in a ratio of 1:1.
This study measures the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer before, during, and after treatment to find out if the presence or absence of ctDNA in patient's blood using the Signatera test can be used to gauge how different treatments may affect rectal cancer. ctDNA is DNA from the rectal cancer that is circulating in the blood. The purpose of this study is to understand if the way rectal tumors respond to standard treatment can be associated with varying levels of ctDNA.
To evaluates the role of Dendrobium Huoshanense Suppository for radiation proctitis in locally advanced rectal cancer treated by capecitabine and irinotecan based neoadjuvant chemoradiation.
This is an open label, multicenter, randomized study in Chinese patients with RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC. Participants were randomly assigned to cetuximab + FOLFOX (group A) and cetuximab + modified XELOX[mXELOX] (group B). All patients in groups A and B will be treated until progression of disease(PD), death, intolerable toxicity or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first.
Postoperative delirium（POD）is a common complication that can directly affect important clinical outcomes, and exert an enormous burden on patients, their families, hospitals, and public resources. In order to evaluate whether an intraoperative administration of low-dose neuroleptanalgesia reduces postoperative delirium, droperidol 1.25 mg and fentanyl 0.025 mg or normal saline is used by intravenous injection 30 minutes before the end of the operation, in elderly patients with non-cardiac major surgery under general anesthesia. The efficiency and safety of neuroleptanalgesia on the incidence of POD would be evaluated in elderly patients.
